Because Lilia declined the BBC's offer to be part of the dance troupe.

I had read about Lilia refusing the part in the dance troupe - good for her, i.m.o. it reeks of desperation to stay with a programme that obviously doesn't really want you anymore - can't help wondering what the air was like in the Bennett household while that was up for discussion though....
It was such a shame! 
But I think she made the right choice, the Troupe came across as a bit of an after-thought compared to the pro-routines performed by the 'competing' pros. Recon the Troupe will be scrapped by next year. Ian might just wangle his job back over the height issues.

I wouldn't quite say desperation but it certainly is demotion and I felt sad for Ian and Darren on Sat. It's like saying you're no longer good enough for the premiere division but we have a place for you in the B division if you want it. I admire Lilia and Matt for telling them they don't want to be sidelined like that.
I thought the BBC were supposed to be on a cost cutting crusade and yet they've added was it 6 or 8 other dancers for this troupe.

Jay Hunt should be demoted to continuity girl.
