"I usually know around June. So it will be a month and a half before I know if I’m doing the next series."

It comes after Craig blasted Brendan and said Strictly will be "better without him".

The professional dancer revealed he would not be returning to the BBC One dancing show during an interview with Lorraine Kelly back in January.

Brendan, 41, was one of only two remaining original dancers on the show, having taken part since the very first series back in 2004.

Speaking to the  at the Bat Out of Hell press night in London, he said: "More fool him.

“The show’s done him wonders. It’s done us all wonders. It’s been fantastic.

“I would never complain about it. It’s given us all platforms on which to stand.

“How many dancers in their life get a job that will last 15 years? Not many. Be grateful.”
