I'm sorry for being so inactive this series 
I have exams on at the moment, so I've been unable to commit to this series much. I will definitely continue with this series sometime in February. I also have another mini-series planned before Back To The Ballroom returns for its fourth main series

Well.......
I'm sorry for giving up on this. I did have a few more mini series planned (after I'd planned to finish the pop stars one!), including a Strictly set in 1995 with celebrities who have since died or gone off the radar. I'd still like to carry out this series, but in the meantime, I'm planing to start a new long series very soon to run throughout summer
