Why? More reason for him to keep working surely.
Perhaps this is why he has been better this year, as in not acting so stupid.
The BBC tried him out comparing shows which did not work, cancelled due to ratings so actually not that popular with the viewers. I doubt he will be given head judge which actually what Len is.

To be fair to Anton, one of those shows was hole in the wall which was pretty terrible really- I'm not sure any host could have saved it.
Wow congratulations to Anton!
Really impressed how many dancers are expecting in the last year. Anton, Aliona, Kristina and Tristan got their babies earlier, Make from DWTS, to name a few.
I wonder if Natalie is next down the line or Karen.

Obviously not 😑😑. Some parents choose to take a small break after the birth of their child, hence my question.
Congratulations to Anton and his partner!
He will be a good dad - he gets along with just about everyone and is a lot of fun.

He looks different this year - he's got a real glow about him. I take it he's not the one that's with child. 
Seriously, I thought it was partnering Lesley that had brought about the change, but the knowledge that twins are on the way is bound to have turned his attitude to life upside down. I do think that Lesley was a brilliant partner for him though, and I wish she'd stayed longer.
Whatever, what lovely news for him and his other half.

How silly of me - I took your question literally
I expect as a genuine well-wisher, you'll be happy to know that, since the babies aren't due for another six months he'll be able to take any paternity leave, should he choose, in the 'off season' and be back in time for next years Strictly!

Apparently for all the hype about paternity leave only very few have taken the government up on it. Apart from the two weeks that has been around for quite a few years now.
I expect Anton will have plenty of time off after his normal New Year tour with Erin anyway.
