I am not a person who lives in the past and I know we need to keep things fresh, but miss some of the pro's who "left" the show like Lilia, Darren and Matt. They had a warmth of personality that I feel some of the new dancers lack.

This is my first time on the forum so Hi

I miss Ian Waite, his choreography was always just right. Darren Bennett and his wife Lilia are also missed by me. Matthew Cutler not so much, I never warmed to him.

I know Anton escaped but the Matt, Ian & Darren went when the BBC decided to sex-up/butch-up the male pros. Lilia was collateral damage.

I miss all of them.

I miss Brian

I especially miss Brian and Camilla, but also Matt and Ian.

I miss Ian and he's a riot on ITT but the others, nah, not so much. If they dumped Anton for another young hot pro I'd be even happier.

Ian Waite and Darren & Lilia(altough my chap misses her more than I do if you get my drift ! ! )

Matthew & Ian - both so lovely and warm. Also really miss Lilia, she was such a firecracker!

I miss Ian & Matthew but of all of them Ian is still connected with his stint on ITT so I have hope he might be given a break and come back

I cant believe I still have to watch Anton rather than Ian or Matthew. I would rather have Lilia than Aliona but if I had my absolute choice I would have Cheryl Burke or Anna Trubunskia from DWTS to replace her.

I dont miss any of the others particularly, things need to change and move on or they become stale (which they definately were in series 6 & 7)

Why not do a swap with DWTS - we have Kym and they can have Aliona - as I do feel her choroegraphy is more DWTS than SCD

Really miss Camilla

miss Karen, Ian and Lilia and Brian

Brian, Lilia and Ian.

I miss Karen and Brian

I miss them all especially Matthew Cutler & Lilia. They were my two favourite pros. I was beside myself when they both won the glitterball.

Matthew and Lilia.

Ian. I am ever hopeful that they might get a tall female celeb next year and will have to ask him back. At least he's keeping a foot in the door with his Waite's Wednesday Warmups on ITT which are great fun.

I think that is very unlikely to happen because Anton is destined to take over from Sir Bruce when he finally decides to retire.

Do you have a direct line to the BBC then Terry?

I miss Ian, Brian and Lilia, but I doubt any of them will be back. Like Karen Hardy I think they're doing quite well without Strictly and will stick to appearances on ITT.

I'm not so sure any more that Anton is lined up to replace Bruce. I think that was the idea a couple of years back, but he blotted his copybook with the dodgy jokes about Laila and I reckon he's out of the running now.

I really miss Darren, Lilia and Ian. For me the show is not the same without them

I miss Brian, he was a brilliant dancer. Don't really miss the rest, even, surprisingly, Matt

Matthew most of all but also Lilia and Ian

I miss Ian, Camilla, Karen, Matthew, Lilia, Darren, Brian and Nicole.

Darren and Lilia. I know that no one (or two!) people make the show but for me it really isn't the same without them.

I miss Matthew, Camilla and Ian too but not as much.

I think the line up of professinals was great until M.Ross took over Really miss Brian ,Matt,Lilia ,Ian and Darren ,Karen and camilla. Think Anton James and Aliona should go not sure about some of the new guys. either.
