BIB. It was! I never said a word! 😳😂

Feel better soon.

(I'd love to see Natalie and Artem dance again, too)

Thanks . I've read reviews of a couple of the Strictly cruises in the past and the guest celeb didn't actually dance, just took part in Q and A sessions (I think that was Patrick Robinson and Lisa Riley). It seems a shame to have them on there and not dance, but I suppose there's a difficulty in fitting in training before they leave. Maybe this time they've changed it, as it would be a bit odd to have Artem on there without a partner.

Right now, I will believe anything.

Eeek not Mischa Paul Wesley ex-wife, Torrey de vitto.

In 2013 the pro dancers were announced on 2 June. (I know this because my whinging about no Flavia, Vincent or Erin has just come up on my Facebook memories).

in 2013 and 14 it was 1st June so I was disappointed not to find anything yesterday, but that said not as many left as what have this time so it may take a bit longer to finalise the pro line up, that said I read somewhere that the producers chose the pros on which celebs are in so it depends if they have got the celebs, in order to match them up yet

That's interesting. Obviously no Kristina this year so at least three new female pros to replace her, Ola and Aliona. I presume all the current male pros are hoping to return although I never really feel Brendon enjoys it very much and is just doing it for the money.

No, that's what they do on DWTS. They certainly didn't have the celeb line-up finalised by April last year.

Or two new pros plus Joanne Clifton. I'd like to see Jo, Natalie and Oti with contenders this year.

Yes definitely. Natalie especially deserves someone who is really good.

There is a male-pro not returning this year that is going to be a shocker. Many hearts will be broken

Aljaž?

Noooooo

Gleb? He doesn't have anything tying him to the UK like most of the others and hasn't stuck around on any other version of the show for very long

It better not be kevin

That's true but if he's staying in GB for Celebrity Bake Off then I would imagine he wouldn't mind staying on for Strictly? I would have thought (hoped ) that by doing CBO he is hoping to increase his profile over here.

Interesting.

I wonder who?

Pasha, Aljaz and Gleb have all in their time attracted an adoring following, so any of those leaving could break hearts.

On the other hand Anton has been around since the beginning, and although not everyone's cup of tea on here, he seems to have a pretty loyal set of fans judging by the continued popularity of his stage shows.

Is it not Tristan

I doubt it will be Aljaz, he and Janette are a team and it is very unlikely another female will be leaving. I know they got rid of James and kept Ola, but that was a mistake
Gleb might leave if his wife was not given a place, but going on masterchef does seem to be upping his UK profile
My money is on Pasha, I am guessing wedding bells with Rachel and them both wanting more privacy

Not sure many hearts would be broken if Kevin wasn't coming back

So, if your earlier post was correct....


(and nothing 'unexpected' happened, of course )

...it would have to be Brendan or Anton. Neither would break my heart, but it would certainly be a shocker!

It could be that those pros being named as 'in' were nominally in with the production team but had yet to agree a contract in which case one might have declined ... for some reason ... let it not be Gleb

Its brendon

Would you care to elaborate?


B's wife has been posting pics from Mallorca where they've just bought a place. Holiday home or permanent move?

I just think it's brendon hope it's anton
