Hi I think she is.....Natalie

Here is a piece from stage entertainment email this morning

ch celebrity from the current series will be dancing with their fantastic on-screen professional dance partners. These pairings are: Mark and Iveta Lukosiute; Abbey and Alijaz Skorjanec; Ben and Kristina Rihanoff; Natalie and Artem Chigvintsev; Deborah and Robin Windsor; and Susanna will be dancing with Kevin Clifton. Nicky Byrne will be dancing with his series 10 partner Karen Hauer, and Natalie Lowe will also be joining the tour.

I'm absolutely astonished that Susanna's doing the tour, and she's tweeted that she will be continuing to fulfil her commitments on Breakfast at the same time. Why would she flog herself like that, given that she has three kids at home in London too? She must have (a) really been bitten by the dancing bug or (b) need the money. I thought she'd done Strictly to raise her profile (contract negotiations coming up? long term plan to leave Breakfast? - wild speculation, obviously) but the arena tour is not profile raising because only fans see it. Good luck to her anyway!

James and Ola are not happy about being left out of the tour, nor are their fans (Twitter again). I imagine things will be a bit tense backstage at Elstree this weekend!

Wonder if its anything to do with the 'story' about poor little, fragile Ola being bullied.
On here it was strongly suggested that James played a huge part in the leaking of that 'story'.

I am personally very happy that neither of them are taking part, cannot stand James and his arrogant, bigheadiness

It's going to be a good tour I think (despite Lisa bloody Riley) unheard of for them to get all the correct pairings. With Dave Myers was going rather than Nicky (poor Karen)

James is talking himself out of employment

Yes. And yet Brendan is called the bad boy and Artem cold. James is far worse.

I think Kevin and Karen were chosen over James and Ola. There's does seem to be some tension there.

I'm not surprised that the Jordan's are out of the tour....

James' partner was voted out very early, and probably wouldn't be able to do the tour with her work schedule anyway, and Ashley would never be given the time off from Hollyoaks to do it with Ola, and if their current celebs aren't available to tour, most of the pros are on dodgy ground with the tour unless one of their past seasons' celebrities is chosen to tour. I'd hazard a guess that DVO and Louis/ Sid weren't interested in touring this year so there was no partner for either Jordan this time!

That said, personally I'd rather see them than Kevin and Karen, (sorry I really don't get all the Kevin love!) and I'm VERY surprised that Susanna is able to do the tour with her work and family commitments, but I think that there's no love lost between James and Craig who is in charge of the tour!

I can honestly say that despite having great seats for the O2 show, I'm not really looking forward to this tour as much as the previous ones - especially with Lisa Riley presenting it as well!

I strongly believe that he leaked the story, I dont have any proof of course but it really wouldnt surprise me if it came from him

I'm one who was convinced The Jordans had leaked that story.

It's shaping up to be great tour this time!

I'm glad Nicky is dancing this year - I take it Craig's nastiness towards him in the main series was all staged too

Don't suppose the truth about that episode will be known....unless a contract isn't forthcoming for next year.
For the record I don't think either Jordan is squeaky clean.

IMO Anya has done the best job of the new pros.

The only tour winner who wasn't in a SCD final was Austin with Lilia I think, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mark showed well on the tour provided they give him the Salsa and the Waltz.”

Ah okay, thanks .

True, especially since the Ola-Karen incident imo

It seems like things are still a bit iffy with some pros backstage.

Tbh it makes sense for Kevin to do the tour since he has a popular celebrity this year in Susanna and that they will probably make the finale. And Karen did an amazing job with Dave this year.

Vanessa wasn't very likeable or popular.
Ashley is good but still forgettable I'm afraid. Case in point, he has the 2nd lowest watched video of last week despite being 2nd on the leaderboard with a high score.

Yay so happy for Natalie . I miss her on the show so I'm glad that she will do the tour . So she may be partnered with Aljaz in the pro dances since she's quite tall.

So dances on tour could be:

Marketa- Cha cha & tango
Dobin - QS & ?
Kevanna - Paso & Waltz
Bentina- Paso & Rumba
Kanicky- Charlseton & QS
Nartem- ? & ? (All competent, none remarkable, don't have the faintest clue)
The A-Team- Waltz & Charleston
Tejas

James Jordan really needs to get over himself - I hope he doesn't get to be on the show at all next year!

Pretty dire tour line-up IMO, Nicky and Deborah are very odd additions. Seems like they have struggled to get anyone more popular and had to take what they can get this year!

Goughie toured - that was the first Strictly tour I ever went to - he danced with Lilia (obviously)

Yes I was really surprised to see that Susanna signed up because I assumed that she has so many commitments. This tour can be really grueling. I wonder if she knows what she's getting herself into but good luck to her lol . I know that she will probably perform her paso on the tour

is that Karen and Nicky if so, then maybe the Mask QS (I think) that was a crowd pleaser

If Abbey & Aljaz salsa goes well this Saturday (I caught a glimpse of some of the lifts today and they are really impressive ) , I can see them doing it in the tour . It will definitely be a crowd pleaser

Clearly I must be in the minority of people here who loves the Jordans .

I don't get the " Kevin love " either but shrug...

Not wishing to speculate, but wonder if her outside commitments will reduce at least temporarily whilst on the tour. ??

Maybe but it would make sense.
