Luba Mushtuk Leaves Strictly Come Dancing In Pro Mass Exodus
Strictly Come Dancing professional Luba Mushtuk is the latest cast member to confirm they’re leaving the show in an apparent mass exodus ahead of the show’s return later this year.
On Friday morning, the Russian-British performer confirmed to her Instagram followers that she would not be returning to the Strictly ballroom after a decade as a pro.
“With a heart full of gratitude, the time has come for me to step away from Strictly Come Dancing,” she wrote. “I am deeply grateful for the past 10 years on this beautiful show!
“Thank you for the amazing opportunity and the unforgettable memories. It has truly meant the world to me. Now it’s time for me to follow my dreams beyond the show, and I’m excited for what the future holds.”
Despite her exit, Luba has announced she will still be taking part in this tour, telling her fans: “I can’t wait to see you all on the Pro Tour and I’m really looking forward to it for one last time.”
Strictly is currently on the hunt for two new presenters for this year’s run, following the much-publicised departures of Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly towards the end of 2025.
