There's a bit about Janette in today's Mirror, saying she doesn't knowing yet if she's back this year.
I'd be very surprised if Janette wasn't back.

Pro dancers are not allowed to divulge this information as part of their contract.

Kevin, Karen, Joanne, Janette, Aljaz, Natalie, Oti, Gleb, Giovanni, Pasha are 100% in, that is unless something unexpected happens. Anton and Brendan should be in as well, Brendan was one of the leading voices in changing some of the practices concerning the pros.

Pros were contacted some time ago to be part of this year's series and 2017, but with a confirmation clause for next year. this came with a salary raise and other benefits to dancers which in my opinion were overdue.

It means that they have been "contracted" for 2 years but that there will have to be a mutual confirmation for the second year coming next January.

Totally agree. I know being on the show is a tremendous boost for the pro dancers' careers but the disparity in salaries compared to the judges is very unfair.

the judges are only sat there for 2 hours a week critiquing where as the pros do 6+ hours a day all week with their celeb therefore I think they should be on more than the judges

Totally. The judges are scripted and increasingly spouting production policy towards the celebs. They do not deserve the money they receive. The pro dancers are dedicated and work hard. They deserve considerably more from the public purse.

Well that's what I want anyway.
Looking at his record, after each good one he's had, he got a dud the next year.
Lesley Garrett then Esther Rantzen
Patsy Palmer then Jan Ravens and Kate Garraway
Laila Rouass then Widdy and Nancy.

To be fair I shouldn't think the Producers always know who is going to be a dud on the face of it !
Who would have thought Kate Garraway would be so bad ?
... and Nancy, one would have thought she would have been excellent.

Admittedly Widdy would have been no surprise !

yeah I thought Nancy& Jerry would have been good but both supprised me, he does get most of his partners past the MOR stage (probably because of his fanbase rather than his contestants dancing) so yeah I think he may get another Judy or Fiona (that said Fiona wasn't that bad)
