Sad about Artem I loved to watch him dance. Not surprised about James, more surprised put a vest on you strumpet is staying. Feel things could be difficult with Kevin and Kevin's sister and Karen. Mmmmmmm
Wonder which celebs? Read Danniella Westbrook.

Copied over from the Beeb website:

There will be eight female and seven male professional dancers this year. Sadly both Artem Chigvintsev and James Jordan will not be returning to the series, alongside Anya Garnis who will not partner a celebrity, but will remain part of the choreography team.

Former Strictly Champion and 2013 series finalist, Artem, departs the series having decided to remain in the USA and feature in Dancing with the Stars.

James Jordan departs Strictly after eight series, but his wife put a vest on you strumpet will return.

Louise Rainbow, Executive Producer says: “We’re delighted that Joanne and Tristan will be joining our fantastic cast of professional dancers this year and look forward to them becoming part of the Strictly family.”

“A huge thank you goes out to both Artem and James for being hardworking, dedicated dancers on the show, and we wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.”

So, to sum up, the professional dancers for 2014 are:

Females
Aliona Vilani
Iveta Lukosiute
