If Alan Carr does it then I won't be able to bring myself to watch it - few people get on my nerves more than he does.
I don't like Chris Evans either but I could just about bear him enough to watch, although given I pretty much gave up on this year's series half way through because it was so lacklustre and so removed from when this show was actually good, I don't hold out much hope for next year's anyway...

Has everyone seen the news that Chris Evans has announced that he has pretty much agreed to do the show next year?? Wasn’t he in the audience looking very old the other week?

Chris /Kris Evans the actor, American footballer, or former porn star turned body builder would all be far more interesting additions to Strictly than boring old Chris Evans, failed Top Gear presenter.

Delia Smith. Don’t ask how I know.... At 77 that would be a bold move. And the potential for cookery related puns would return. They weren't funny with Ainsley, they will be less so now.

If Mary had said no, Prue Leith would have been available!
Though probably best not to invite Paul Hollywood - given the Strictly curse and his personal track record

Another joke? O let's laugh at the middle aged woman, shall we? I hope I’m wrong but that is what this looks like.

Awful what happened to AJ and his brother Curtis, attacked outside a nightclub. Curtis will now miss, at the very least, the first couple of weeks of Dancing with Stars Ireland, and doesn't AJ have a solo tour lined up? Their poor parents, having this happen to both sons. Scary world sometimes.

Scary world sometimes. Absolutely horrific - some people really are scrum, I hope they are all caught and suitably punished! AJ's own tour is later next year but he is due to start rehearsals with Lauren for the Strictly live tour presumably next week. And Curtis has to have surgery, which doesn't bode well for him getting back to DWTS at all this series!

For those who loved a bit of Pasha of a Saturday night, get the Kleenex out . . .

I've just read this, Pasha I always thought was an amazing choreographer and possibly the best male dancer so he'll be a big loss. It could change the dynamic of the show especially if Kevin decides to leave too as he has strongly hinted. I'd say the odds of Anton getting another year have increased strongly.
Johannes moving up to have a female celeb partner will surely happen. Neil Jones has been around the show for 3 seasons but only in group dances so might he get a promotion too if Kevin did decide to leave. But after the Seann - Katya issues there must be a question mark over whether Mr and Mrs Jones return.
I don't know who else may be thinking of moving on or might be out of favour as with Pasha gone and Kevin unlikely to return IMO they will have likely lost a couple of popular dancers.
They have Johannes, Luba and Neil in reserve so a couple of them can step up and I'm sure there are lots of good pros who have the technical ability and are potential eye candy for whichever way we swing to step into make up the numbers.

Yes, I am sure that Pasha leaving will certainly change the character of the show. It was noticeable that in the group dances he often took the lead, whether for contractual reasons or just because he was the best dancer was not clear, but his talent as both a dancer and as a choreographer will indeed be missed.

He'll definitely be missed. He was always my favourite pro, and I loved his choreography. Very interested to see how the next season shapes up now...

He has probably realised that it is not really a dancing competition after being continually in the dance off with Ashley last season when clearly they were the strongest dance couple!

especially if Kevin decides to leave too as he has strongly hinted. Actually the opposite is true - Kevin has strongly hinted that the only way he will leave is if the producers choose not to renew his contract. Pasha was one of the better male dancers on the show, but really that's not saying much these days. His choreography went stale several years ago, and last year seemed very much to me as if it had been set up as his standing, getting a good dancer to end on a high like Aliona did a couple of years ago.

His heart didn’t seem in it last year so I’m not surprised. I really enjoyed him in his first few years on the show.

If Kevin did stay on then it would be good for the show but I felt it seemed like his swansong finally having won it and he referenced his age a few times across the series. Plus he committed to Rock Of Ages over the Strictly tour where he would have been dancing as a champion. Also often the defending pro champion will get a bit of a dud celeb the year after they have won.
Pasha always seems very laid back and doesn't seem as animated as say an Aljaz or Giovanni and with him doing his own tours he has lots of irons in the fire. I will miss him as he is a great dancer and even better choreographer IMO.

I think we've used this thread the past couple of years so I'm happy to keep using it, but w/o go with the majority! My OCD tendencies would really like to get rid of the full stop in the title though if that is possible? Not sure how I've never noticed it before!

Good news that all the regulars are returning after the talk that Kevin may leave and with Oti doing a lot of other work and even presenting the One Show I did wonder how many would return. Anton is by far the oldest pro now I think he is 16 years older than the next oldest Kevin.
