Shirley Ballas said Strictly Come Dancing will "welcome and embrace" this series' new arrivals after three stars left the show.
The forthcoming series will be the first without show stalwarts including previous winners Aljaz Skorjanec and Oti Mabuse, while judge Bruno Tonioli has also left the show for good after 14 years. Former professional ballroom dancer and Strictly head judge Shirley said: "We have to remember in Strictly the wheels always turn, and when somebody goes off, somebody else comes on.
"We learn to love them. All we can do is wish everybody well who moves on to another career and welcome and embrace the new people that come on the show.
