Katya and Oti for the bench

Might be personal preference for some but they're not going to realistically bench their only 2 female winners.

It’s also Otis last series they’re hardly going to bench her this year. I could also see Katya and maybe Karen leaving after this year as well so if anyone’s getting benched can it be Amy so we can avoid the screaming.
Has Oti confirmed she is leaving?

No, I've no idea why Nikita is my early choice of favourite of the new pros.

She said that it would be her last series in an interview, and then backtracked, saying she doesn't know yet. At a guess, I would say it's probably her last series
Maybe she'll do the series in 2022 but I reckon she'll soon move on regardless, 2 wins and getting other work.

I was going to say I’m sure it was online and now I can’t find anything. I definitely remember seeing it being discussed on twitter and I’m sure we talked about it here.

Here it is
Oti Mabuse: ‘The next Strictly will be my last’
She’s the only dancer to lift the glitterball in consecutive years. She talks about her unconventional rise to fame – and her next big move
And after she said something along the lines of 'i don't know why I said that'. I mean, I don't know why she said it if she wasn't seriously considering it

Seems really odd to backtrack like that... unless she’s had other work offers fall through. Unless she was hoping for the ITT job and she’s miffed it’s gone to Janette.

I originally thought it was very deliberate and just her way of putting it out there early on. But I guess she might have regretted not discussing it with the strictly team first? I did wonder if she was in the running for the ITT job too

Strictly Come Dancing announce FOUR new pro dancers ahead of 2021 series
STRICTLY Come Dancing has revealed four new stunning pro dancers ahead of the launch of this year’s series. Kai Widdrington, Nikita Kuzmin, Cameron Lombard and Jowita Przystal will be appeari…

Why do they need four new pros? Are some leaving? A replacement for Anton with him now a judge and that would be it surely? Good to see a rare Brit on the professional list and he's been on BGT before like AJ had been. Speaking of AJ I wish they had let Chloe Hewitt have a partner when she was on the show.

2 of them are more than likely to replace anton and Janette and last year there was fewer pairs than normal so other two will be replacements for Kevin and ajStrictly Come Dancing announce FOUR new pro dancers ahead of 2021 series

4 pros have left in the past 2 years - Janette, AJ, Anton & Kevin.

Four new professional dancers announced for Strictly Come Dancing 2021
Four new world-class professional dancers will be joining the line up for Strictly Come Dancing when the multi-award-winning series returns this autumn to BBC One, as the nation’s favourite dance show once again brings glitter, glamour and glorious dancing to Saturday and Sunday nights
www.bbc.co.uk
Not surprised that they're all Latin champions, ballroom seems to have taken a backseat in recent years. I didn't realise Cameron was so young, he's only 20. Nikita looks like he could be AJ 2.0
Is Jowita the shortest girl now?Blue_ocean

Strictly announces FOUR new professional dancers have joined the show
The line-up of Strictly professional was left thinner for this year after Anton Du Beke , 54, stepped into a judging role and Janette Manrara , 37, decided to leave in order to host the spin-off show
There's a picture of her stood next to Oti here, and she looks a few inches shorter, so I guess about the same height as Janette

Thought Nancy was ickle?

Nancy and Dianne are both average/slightly below height for women (I think both are around 5’3/5’4) but Janette and Jowita are genuinely tiny at about 5 foot. Jowita might be taller by roughly an inch someone I know went to the greatest dancer shows her and Michael were on and met them. She told me that Jowita was Janette tiny.

The world is her oyster, she’s on pretty much everything! She must have a great Agent…but I do think she runs the risk of becoming over-exposed
