think it is she is in musical about Marilyn Monroe

Trent & Gordana have both recently retweeted people saying that they'd like to see them back on the show. Could this be a hint?

Oooh so they have, I would love to see Trent back on the show, and with Gordana too!

Oh I really hope not - I really didn't like Trent at all, him and his choreography were a bit too cheesy for me !

I would love to see Trent back on strictly.

Well it just goes to show -one man's meat etc

I would also like to throw my hat into Trent's ring, now that my dreams of Iveta being the first pro to compete whilst heavily pregnant have been more-or-less dashed.

I don't know all the ins and outs of why he didn't come back but I think that both Gleb and Giovanni made a better impression. I don't think that the producers will bring any old pro's back.

Another Trent fan. For the record (and on repeat) the beeb invited Trent back but he declined as they would not offer Gordana a contract. Now there are two vacancies for females pros perhaps the pair can return, perhaps, I wish ...

I can't agree with that, I think Trent made a brilliant impression. There's a space in the male pro lineup with Tristan leaving so while I don't want to get too excited I at least won't give up hope until the pros are announced. Trent maybe couldn't have another celeb as perfectly matched to him as Pixie but his choreography is so innovative I'd love to see what he'd produce for anyone. Gordana also made an impression on me when she performed as a backing dancer. We'll see!

I loved Trent and Pixie together too. Got my hopes up he might be back, hope so.

I really am trying not to get too excited! Trent and Pixie were a perfect partnership weren't they, going to watch some of their dances as Saturday night entertainment. Keeping fingers crossed

Trent wanted Gordana on the show too - whilst I think SCD would have him back not sure they would have her - I was told last year that the reason Trent didn't come back was because of Gordana

that's right he threw his toys out of the pram when they didn't want Gordana I don't think they will bring back any old pros either

Joanne talking about potential reasons for delay in announcing pro's apparently they do not know yet, she is blaiming all the changes due to departures.

delay is the fact first auditions were not until late April (later than last year) we will probably hear in early June imo

Janette has posted a photograph on Twitter of the Strictly Producers and others having a little BAFTA celebration Party - does it give us any clues as to three people who will be around come September ?

Joanne knows full well she is coming back. She's just not allowed to say yet.

As bendy mixer has said, the delay is most likely down to them not having selected the newbies yet.

Hope they are begging Artem to come back.

Lol Artem wouldn't want to come back even if they begged him. He's pro on dwts ; something he always to be plus he is dating an actress. I doubt he would want to leave the states when most of his friends are there, he always went on record by saying that he likes living in LA, he is better payed, he has more job opportunities and he's in a new relationship.

I know he is on DWTS, he came from States after a breakup. I thought it was just rumours about Misha and Artem. I am yet to see any pictures of them as a couple.
Misha has calmed down a lot. I don't think she has done much work lately ??.
Good luck to them.

Not Mischa. An actress called Torrey. Think they're a very recent thing.

Lucky Strictly cruise goers will have the pleasure of Artem's company aboard The Britannia soon .
....Apparently to be joined by Natalie Gumede.

Are they replacing one of Janette/Aljaz or Karen/Kevin as the website doesn't seem to have been updated? If they're all going that seems a lot of couples.

Sorry, don't know - just going by info on his fan page and his tweet...

(His tweet was from February though, so who knows, but I'm guessing that Natalie joining the cruise - presumably to partner A - is a confirmation of sorts??).

Thanks fridgesoup. Irony is that I am sick and have been only drinking soup from the fridge.

For a moment I thought I had become delusional and my soup was talking to me.


I really would love to see Artem and Natalie dance again.
