But fans noticed that some of her colleagues were missing, including Diane Buswell, Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez. A concerned follower wrote: "Gorgeous, but where's Dianne, Karen, Gorka, and Neil and Aljaz?" Another fan further noted: "And Johannes!" A third comment read simply: "Where's @aljazskorjanec?", while a fourth echoed their concern, asking: "Where's Gorka?"
Although it's not known why some of the pro dancers were missing from the group shot, one of Amy's followers had a theory. "This shoot was to introduce the new pros," they said, adding: "So I'm assuming they haven't needed all of the older ones. Seems like they only required a few of the old pros to take some photos."
