Strictly Come Dancing fans are predicting a series of professional dancers will exit the series once this year’s show wraps.
Hardcore fans have predicted several names will leave their post on the hit BBC One show, including long-standing Italian pro, Giovanni Pernice.
The 32-year-old, who left the current series in week three alongside his celebrity partner Richie Anderson, was named alongside other stars including Luba Mushtuk, Neil Jones and Karen Hauer.

“I think Neil and Luba will leave next year, but I won’t be surprised if Giovanni or Karen leave as well.”
Another said: “I just have a feeling inside that she’s (Luba) probably going to get axed. I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t rule it out.”
Another fan believed Gio will likely stay and suggested the show may bring back some old faces.

“I think Gio will stick it out for another couple of years if they give him good partners. It’s unfortunate things didn’t work out with Richie this year, sometimes people just don’t gel well.
“Neil I think if he gets a partner will stay, Luba might leave but if Karen goes they might give her partners more consistently and so she’ll stay for that reason.
“I’d be interested to see if they bring any of the old pros who’ve left recently but haven’t been doing all that much back.”

Gio recently took to Instagram to reveal what he thought of the week seven results, which saw Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin sent home.
Writing a comment on co-star Nikita’s Instagram post, Giovanni said: “Way to early!! You guys were a dream to watch!! Both of you be proud of what you have achieved.”
Giovanni’s former dance partner and fellow 2021 champion Rose Ayling-Ellis echoed this, writing: “Absolutely love watching you both. You both have shown that boundaries can be pushed, always be so so proud of this!”
Ellie and Nikita impressed the judges with their Charleston to Too Darn Hot from Kiss Me Kate. The pair received a score of 33 after gaining two nines from Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.
