Well if it was my choice, I'd be up for doing a Viennese Waltz to a bit of Strauss. I think he's an icon.

i'm not his fan club, i don't actually like his music.. but the same thing happened last year with Bruno Mars with people going "But he isn't an Icon." and others the year before because of ignorance over their history and impact globally of the artists who's music is being used.

My point, which people seem to be struggling with, is just because you haven't heard of them/don't like them/their music, or aren't aware of just how big they within their genre on the world stage, doesn't mean they aren't an Icon

Usher is absolutely an icon. I do wish they were dancing to Yeah, it's so good to dance to!

I think Harry might struggle with an AT.

My very first thought too on reading the list of dances. I’m also worried for Kaz with a Rumba.

Ellie doing Latin again - is it to avoid the ballroom frame issue with the height disparity?

Usher is an icon?!

Absolutely! Way more of a music icon than Cheryl or Harry!

I've never heard of him.

This is not a flex

Not just the height, I think. Latin plays to her strength of energy and exuding joy, but she doesn't really move gracefully.

It wasn't meant to be.
It was simply a statement of fact.

I can't agree. Her waltz was lovely. She has very expressive arms and hands and I think she's very musical.
An American Smooth would be good – they can stay out of hold quite a lot and minimise the height disparity.

Wonder who they will get to replace them? I could see one of the other Pros taking on Claudia’s role but they need a solid TV person for Tess’ job.

NewAgeNewMe · 23/10/2025 10:04

Claudia has become a legend with Traitors so she’ll be good. Wonder what Tess will do. And yes who will replace them?

Holluschickie · 23/10/2025 10:04

Oh my. I will miss Claudia. Probably busy with Traitors.
One more nail in Strictly's coffin for me.

CrushingOnRubies · 23/10/2025 10:04

came on here straight after the news on radio 2! Wonder who will replace them??

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 23/10/2025 10:06

😲 Hard to imagine them not doing it, after so long. Will be interesting to see who takes over.

Cat Deeley is just telling me 😮

I wonder why and why together .

ANTON will be first in the queue at the producers office.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 23/10/2025 10:24

@Coffeeishot
Yes! That was my first thought.

I’d like it to be Ian Waite and Zoe Ball hosting.
Kevin from Grimsby and Stacy Dooley?

Good. They're so fake.

They've always had a pact that they'd leave together.

Why – well some posters are saying it's down to the scandal(s), maybe a combo of Gio/Wynne/other Italian bloke/alleged drug-taking.

NewAgeNewMe · 23/10/2025 10:27

They are also 2 women in a prime tv spot in a flagship show, I’ll be sad to see them go.

DancingontheDancefloor · 23/10/2025 10:27

Such a huge change… perhaps distancing themselves from a little bit of ‘tainting’.

It won't be the same (obviously 😆)
