Why her Jowita Przystal Strictly return has fans buzzing
The timing of the post stood out. Jowita shared the snaps just after major changes hit the Strictly Come Dancing professional line-up.
Strictly Come Dancing regularly updates its professional dancer line-up between series.
- Professional dancers can return, take a break or leave the show between seasons.
- Line-up announcements are usually made before the launch of a new series.
- New professionals are often added as others depart.
- Returning professionals may appear in group numbers even if they are not all paired with celebrity contestants.
Cast changes are a routine part of the programme’s pre-series announcements.
She swerved the axe when the BBC show cut five professional dancers from its roster. Fans said goodbye to Karen Hauer, Gorka Marquez, Nadiya Bychkova, Luba Mushtuk and Michelle Tsiakkas earlier this year.
The show also revealed five new names for the pro line-up. Aleksandra Isaeva, Cristian Priori, Lethabo Monametsi, Mark Karmalita and Maddie Ingoldsby are joining this year’s cast.
That means Strictly fans can expect to see her back on the dance floor when the new series returns on BBC One. Her latest post has only added to the buzz around her return.
