If the next series of DOI runs true to form, expect one of the male contestants to win. as it's been Gaynor Faye, Kyran Braken, Suzanne Shaw, Ray Quin, Hayely Tammondon.

If so they may be favoured in the scoring to get them to perform The Bolero

It's possible Hayely might be asked back as last years series winner. Possible Clare as well given she didn't finish last years tour or Suzanne Shaw if the female contestants are not that strong this year

As for male contestants, then if Ray and Chris are not invited, possibly Kyran might be involved this year

It is not a question of Ray not being invited back, he has had his contract extended in Dirty Dancing until the end of May so will not be in a position to tour, unless he does a guest appearance on a Sunday! Obviously his stage work is his priority and he is in demand as an actor/performer. I will miss him on the tour as I love his dance skills, musicality and artistry, which are great to see alongside Chris equally good but different style of skating, but fully understand his decision.

I think Kyran would like to perform on the tour again. Chris would probably do it if asked if he has no other work lined up although whether they would invite someone back for the fourth year running I suppose is debatable although they may be short of good skaters depending on this years lineup. Hayley would probably do it to although personally I do not rate her as a good skater, just someone who had one well choreographed routine.

Without Ray and Chris the next tour could be less attractive to many unless someone really shines this year.

Love to see Hayley and Clare again. Can't see Suzanne doing it though as she's so busy with Emmerdale.

Chris Fountain goes in to Coronation Street in March and starts filming in February so I doubt he will do it.
