The rumours are true I\'m afraid, I emailed Nicole and she replied saying: Thank you for your email and lovely words of support. Unfortunately, this is true, I have not been asked back for this series. I know that Matthew mentioned in our shows that we would both be on it this year however that was due to the fact that as he had been asked, I would naturally be asked too and at the time, unofficially we were lead to believe that I would be joining him. It seemed inconceivable that we would not be in the show together considering out professional partnership. I am shocked and to say the least devastated that I won\'t be on SCD and will miss the show and actually more importantly dancing with Matthew on the show terribly but am hoping that I will at least be asked to do the tour again or that the BBC may change their mind! I know we both have a lot of support on DS and we both appreciate that very much! To stop any further speculation and rumours, I would be grateful if you could let your friends know that this is true and now the campaign must go on for Matthew to win again... how special would that be! Thank you once again. Nicole So please show your support by signing this petition and hopefully the BBC will realise what they are letting go!
