Brian will not be appearing in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing, it was announced today. Following the decision by the BBC to revamp the show, he has taken the decision to concentrate on Burn the Floor, the stage show in which he and Ali will star this summer.
Brian told the Press Association: "I really enjoyed working on Strictly over the years - loved the fans and loved all the people I got work with - but there are changes planned for the next season so I've decided not to return to the show. Both Ali and I are looking forward to seeing all our fans at the Shaftesbury Theatre."
In the next series, 14 dancers, including three new male professionals, will partner celebrities and other pro dancers will create a "dance troupe" for the show. Brian was offered a role in the dance troupe but appears not to have been asked to partner a celebrity.
