OK, seems a lot to get poor Ainsley used to TWO new partners though. You'd think if it was so much hassle they'd just put him with Joanne for simplicity.

As much as I hope Natalie is back to full health very soon, I would have liked to see Joanne on the tour again. Oh well, hopefully she'll be in the Grimsby show in June!

Not really - all he has to do is learn his part, the pros are the ones who'll adapt.

The way they're doing it involves the least amount of people having to learn new parts!

the pics on twitter show joanne dancing a tango and a salsa with Ainsley - aren't they the dances for his solo and not group dances?

well I was there last night and he DEFINATELY danced a tango and a salsa with Karen

Bad news for Natalie fans, It looks like she will not be able to dance for the whole tour due to her injury.

Oh, that's a shame.

Karen did a very good job when I went on Sunday, though, and Ainsley seemed to be enjoying himself regardless. I wonder if Jo will now stay for the rest of the tour?

And she still hasn't mentioned it on Twitter at all! Quite disappointed in her over this.

Joanne took over karen's role, so She is going nowhere unless Natalie has a full recovery, not expected.

OK, thanks for the info.

That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing her dance. Hope she's not too upset.

Oh gosh! It must be a fairly serious injury for her to be unable to return at all. I can only imagine how gutted she must be but I do hope they make an official announcement to let people know.
