Strictly and Brian Fortuna

There’s been such a furore.  An unnecessary re-vamp of Strictly has resulted in hypnotically hipped Brian Fortuna leaving the show. Those of us who love his dancing, with both his professional partner, Kristina Rihanoff and his celebrity partners are devastated.  Brian’s reasons for leaving are entirely understandable: he turned his back on a nebulous role in a “pro” dance group, leaving him and girlfriend Ali able to concentrate on their July debut in the West End production, Burn the Floor.  But Brian’s departure is not just Strictly’s loss; sequins definitely won’t sparkle as brightly for the Fortuna’s Fantastics this winter
