Looks like Chesney is out and Chicco is in, heard this from a reliable source but awaiting confirmation but looks likely as it had been rumoured that Chesney wouldnt be fit to take part and the Drs were refusing to sign him off.
Its Chicco time

Oh, P-L-E-A-S-E yes! Can't wait. There is nothing in the world I would like better.
What a shame for Chesney - I'm not a fan of his but feel really sorry for him. 
Hopefully he'll be given a chance to take part next year.
I'm looking forward to Chico though. Presumably this means that he'll be skating with an unknown female professional, and Jodeyne will now become the reserve?

Confirmed now by Debs Moyce (His manager i think)

I hated Chicco on the XFactor because I felt there were much more talented people. However, I have seen him in a few things since then and he seems like a really, really nice guy and great fun. He'll be a great addition to the show - go Chico!

I suspect that they may very well team Jodeyne up with Chico. Fred & Zaraah only had something like 4 days training together when she came into the show after Michael Underwood got injured.

Possibly - although the fact that Andrei was drafted in to replace Syvain quickly suggests that they might have some reserves lined up. I also heard a rumour that Vicky Ogden had been a reserve pro skater last series, and Katie Stainsby the year before. I guess we'll find out for sure soon!!!

Vicky was the reserve girl last year and same with Katie the year before.
Andrei may not have been the first male reserve......................

Will he be given another chance or was this year The One And Only?
Feel sorry for Chesney. What bad luck!
Chico should be fun though, and nice that he says he's skating for Chesney too.

Real shame for Chesney. Maybe he can get auto entry to next year (or perhaps SCD will snaffle him first!)
Chesney is already thinking about next year...

Thank you to everyone that has wished me well and tweeted support. I'm out this year, but who knows, maybe I'll be back in 2013! X

Michael Underwood was allowed back the year after so I suspect it will be the same with Chesney - if he wants to that is.
I can imagine Chesney and Chico being pretty similar in their ability so I doubt it will make much difference to the show.
I was hoping to see a bit of footage on the ITV site too see how Chico is faring, but nothing there yet. Chesney is quoted there as saying he hopes to take part next year though. 
Michael Underwood had to drop out but was allowed to come back the year after, so we might see Chesney yet
I saw Chico in panto just this week
