Do we actually know why she left? I would have loved to see her again this year

Me too. She was lovely.

I thought she was lovely. She did really well last year with Donal. No one seems to know why she is not back this year. Was she too busy or was she not asked?

She was lovely, one of my favourite professionals last year. Such a shame she was either too busy, or was not invited back.

One poster who knows something but who has never elaborated ... hinted that there were issues behind the scenes which resulted in Florentine not coming back. Its a real shame whatever went on... she was a lovely girl.

I loved Florentine last year - she brought such an unique energy to the show. And her partnership and chemistry with Donal was just incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss her too....

However I REALLY miss Kristina !!! She was such a treat...

Oooh ...a bit of juicy gossip.

Kind of adds up though. She made a big impact last year and can't imagine she wouldn't have been invited back under normal circumstances.

As she did Ice party at Blackpool last year and then did some skating with Kyran before Christmas, I do hope that means we will see her at doing Ice Party this year.

Gazb2 I really miss Kristina too. My favourite skater.

That was me.

I can't really say but its sad why she's not back

How come Eviesmum I'm intrigued by this but if you can't say it doesn't really bother me.

I have often wondered why she is not back. I have to say messages like this make you think all things

I hoped that Florentine would be back, too.
