Professional dancers Matthew Cutler and Lilia Kopylova are set to leave the 'Strictly Come Dancing' line-up.
BBC bosses announced today that the pair will not feature in the professional dance group for the next series of the show.
Both dancers previously won the show with their celebrity partners. Cutler claimed the crown with Alesha Dixon, while Kopylova won with Darren Gough.
Although they will not be partnering celebrity dancers this year, Cutler and Kopylova may still make guest appearances in the show.
Cutler said: "I've absolutely loved my time on 'Strictly', and now is a good time to focus on developing new areas of my career."
"I'm excited about having more time to commit to new projects and, of course, still having a hand in 'Strictly without all the training."
Kopylova, whose husband Darren Bennett will be taking part in the show, said: "I've had six brilliant series on the show. I will miss it, but I am looking forward to new opportunities ahead."
"Of course I will be there to support Darren and all of my fellow professionals."
Professionals Anton du Beke, Brendan Cole and Erin Boag will return to the show later this year.
