Bit fast there on the thread finishing chums! Last thread here

I wonder what has happened? Must be a family emergency of some description.

That is a shame. Hope he & his family are ok.

It's a shame. He was very enjoyable to watch despite not being a technically good dancer. I hope he is ok.

Oh that's a shame. Hope he / his family are ok.

Oh noo what a shame gives kimmy sweet and . Poor Will

I hope it's nothing too serious. What a shame.

Such a shame. Press seems to be making a big thing of his 'run-in' with Len and linking departure with that?

Yeah the Telegraph has suggested he has gone in the huff

Last week was Will's best dance as far as I am concerned. I am shocked and upset for him that he has pulled out of Strictly.

Just heard about Will. Hopefully his reasons for leaving are not too serious. I'm guessing that means an eviction free week this week?

It probably won't mean an eviction-free week, it never has in the past. It'll just mean that instead of a 4 person final they'll have a 3 person final. They deliberately changed to the 4-person final format after a run of withdrawals precisely so they'd have room to lose someone without screwing up their schedules.

Think they have said there will still be an eviction this week.

Another one shocked about Will as I rather like him. I hope it's nothing too serious either.

Well there goes the initial prediction of an all-Clifton final (although that had looked increasingly unlikely anyway )

Ooh thanks MrsJayy. The statement is lovely towards Karen and the Strictly crew but reads up beat. Absolutely none of my business but I do hope he is just physically knackered rather than upset or bereaved. I know from personal experience when there's little left in the tank the slightest thing can bring emotions to the surface. I loved him and had him pegged for quarter finals at least. Boo and indeed moo. Off to watch his tango again. Sorry for speculating.

I hope he's ok

How sad

Must be something serious to pull out. I would have thought they would have said if it was injury? Can't believe it would be just due to a few (mildly) negative judges comments given that he is known for standing up to Simon Cowell.

Will strikes me as quite tough, and has survived in showbiz for over a decade. I don't think it's anything to do with his minor spat with Len. He's made of sterner stuff.

Poor Karen too! Obviously I hope it's not bad personal reasons, but I hope there is a reason and it shall not just that he disagreed with len, or that it looked like he wouldn't win!

He is a diva though. I remember when he appeared in a play in Manchester some years ago, and he flatly refused to sign autographs for any fans who met him.

Polkadots Pasha will accept a friend request. He doesn't post much (and what he does is probably his agent) but the thrill of having Pasha Kovalev accept a friend request is most excellent. I added it thinking it would just be a fan site but it looks like it is his actual profile, his tour dancers etc tag him in photos.

Gutted about Will! I hope he is ok

Oooohhhh. Must. Not. Join. Facebook. repeat^ Must. Not. Join. Facebook.

I'm in!!!

Nah, not really, but I loved the ITCrowd friendface episode.

to facebook to request Pasha 😊. I have Michael Ball (obe) he is totally loving his Alfie atm

Missed ITT yesterday, was Will's departure announced on it or afterwards? Wonder if they will interview him?
