To be fair we don’t know that that’s the reason she dropped out of tour though. For all we know there might genuinely be personal reasons and just unfortunately timed.
Based on the statement the tour put out, I can't really see it being anything else tbh.

They're not gonna be like "We're disappointed by her decision, but wishing her success for the future" if she was stepping down because of something like that, they would've just said she's not taking part due to personal reasons, injury or whatever.

I don’t think Karen tried much with Harry and the vibe was off. She had a good run but it was time for her to go.

People like Lauren and Katya give it there all.

Nadiya wasn’t a good choreographer am not surprised she’s out.

Luba we never saw her loads she didn’t get a fair crack at it I don’t think.

Michell was just super annoying.

Gorka am not surprised after he was missing last year doing the Spanish show.

I think they were all chopped regardless of what message they put out.

I wonder if Gorka thinks there is a chance Shirley will step down this year to do the American show. There has been gossip on line. He might have bought into it. He now has judging experience he might think he would be the perfect fit. Personally I think she wont leave for the moment and Vito with his Dance with Us classes with Shirley is lining himself up to be the one to take her place.

I do agree with your analysis overall but a bit stumped by one thing.

How was Michelle annoying? She was probably one of the most toned down, introverted pros they’ve had.

I feel like with Gorka it was probably a bit more of a blurry situation - in a way, it wasn't him just deciding to leave while they'd have had him back, but also not them straight up axing him. I imagine he got a little bit of an ultimatum this year - either staying as a pro properly (& likely getting a partner too as he's still popular) or going off to Spain again, so he chose the judging gig, which likely pays more and is way easier to do.

I doubt Shirley is going anywhere tbh.
Yeah, not sure why people think Shirley is gonna leave. She seems to be involved in that "looking for a new pro" show for DWTS, but that's being filmed around now. Isn't she also looking after her mom in the UK? I imagine she's staying put whilst she's still there, then maybe she might go to the States to be close to her sons (& possibly switch to judging on DWTS if they want her).

I agree. I think the only thing I could think that may be annoying about Michelle is that her besties Nancy and Dianne are annoying. I think Michelle is really inoffensive.

Shirley wouldn't leave her mum to take a job in the US. Can't see her leaving Strictly anytime soon.

I agree. She seems to be very close to her mother - who must be elderly. And tbh, who would walk away from the gig she has going with Strictly. Huge money for tbh, what looks like not very much exertion on her part. 🤷‍♀️

Yes I was mixed up Michelle I thought was Nancy… yes Michelle was quiet . I hoped Nancy would have gone instead.

Is there there still a story around about a pro or pro’s and ❄ or has that disappeared?

I saw the Legends last year, and I loved the show. They all predate my watching of Strictly so I didn't really have preconceived notions. I'd definitely go to see them again.😁

They came to a venue where I work and there was mild uproar as one of them was meant to smoke a fake cigar but sparked up a real one.
