I read that Darlo - great news! I'm not so sure about Alesha as a judge though, even though I do like her. Arlene annoyed me, but at least she's got years of experience.

I think with Alesha they're trying to attract the younger audience, she's a lovely person I voted for her to win lol but also she has been through the show as a celeb so will know how they are feeling and can give them advice but I do think it could backfire.

Alesha was great, but that doesn't make her an expert. I thought the BBC behaved very badly in this case. Good news about that Sunday nonsense being abolished though.
I thought you were going to say they've come to their senses and reinstated Arlene.
The only reason they abandoned the Sunday show is money and the cost, I bet.

When does the series kick off please, darlo?

They did say it wasn't popular with the viewers and I know it certainly wasn't with the fans on here. Some smart ass always posted a spoiler. It's all in one show now - much better imo.
I don't care about Arlene going because Craig Revel Horwood who is the best judge imo is still there . Arlene will be on the One Show as the Strictly expert.

I like Len as a judge too - I'm a traditionalist.

Hello missus - it just said 'September' in the article I read.

I've just had a look and no date announcement so far I don't think

Ooh hope thats true , can't wait for it to come back.
Arlene should not have been sacked / asked not to return as a judge. That's the biggest spoiler for me. The judges were fine as they were and replacing someone with a wealth of experience for a past winner is a terrible idea imo.

agree how exactly are the professional dancers going to react to Alesha's criticism? I know if I'd had years of dancing experience and won lots of competitions and a celebrity with a few months worth of dancing tells me how to dance or gives me her insights, I'd know what I'd say to her
I like Alesha but the way but this is a terrible decision
I am pleased there will be no Sunday show.
Nobody was ever convinced that it was happening - everyone knew it was taped on Saturday.
I often found Arlene Philips embarrassing with her UNfunny, rehearsed and badly delivered comments. But I still wish they had retained her.
I wonder what role Alesha is expected to fill.
Will she comment on dresses, entertainment etc?
But I thought that was the viewers job.
Hence the split voting system - judges for dancing, viewers for dancing and entertainment.
I`m not sure how the professional dancers will feel about hearing comments from someone with less experience than thselves.
Are we going to hear Alesha say "You did a toe when you should have done a heel" or "Your hips were not square on to your body" or "Your flicks did not come from the knee."
I don`t envy her.
I wish they had got rid of the wailing singers.
Looking forward to it.

I agree with all those sentiments. For as much I loved Alesha and though she was a brilliant winner, it's a bit of a slap in the face to have her as a judge.
Kelly Brook and Gethin Jones have spoken out in support of Alesha, but also sympathised with Arlene. They should have gave Alesha a job on SCD ITT instead but the BBC not Alesha are to blame for this happening .
I want to know who the zelebs are *jumps up and down*

I don't think anyone Blames Alesha Darlo and yes the BBC are to blame. I also think the BBC are under the illusion that it's youngsters that mostly pay the licence fee when in actual fact it's mostly us oldies and gosh, shock, horror women too
Jay Hunt the controller of BBC1, who is responsible for getting rid of Arlene is a right biatch apparently. I bet she has never watched the show. Any fan of the show would know you must have an expert judge on the panel.
This gives an excellent insight into Jay Hunt

Excellent point about the professional dancers. They will have to bite their tongues a lot won't they?
Last year was a farce with the JS issue, the semi final and Christmas special disasters they must prevent all that from happening again .

ah she's the one from the news a few weeks ago who has been giving contracts courtesy of the licence fee and both her current husband and her ex-husband have benefited. Smells as bad as the MPs expenses
Aleisha Dixon for Arlene stinks
Oh no!
SCD, X-Factor, Simon Cowell (120M and counting), probably some sheight with Ant and Dec, Christmas.
Spare us.

I agree it is not Alesha`a fault; it is the BBCs.
But I bet she feels a bit uncomfortable with all the fuss going on - and I believe being paid more than the other judges. (Is that true?)
I would have been happier with a professional dancer such as Karen Hardy or Camilla Dallerup, both of whom are not competing this year.

Can we assume you won't be joining in with the Strictly and X Factor threads then, Joe?

Yes, Karen or Camilla would have been good choices. No-one's blaming Alesha, she's probably in for quite a rough ride.
I didn't like Arlene that much, she had her favourites and unjustly disliked some, but I respect her years of work and think the BBC are making a huge mistake by dropping her from the show.
Why didn't they put Alesha in as a co-presenter or got her to do the spot on The One Show? Can't see it working somehow, though as I love the show, I hope I'm wrong.

The Apprentice is about my limit.

Me too - and I KNOW I read somewhere that someone has dropped out already, but I can't remember who it was. Darlo... get in here!

They will be thinking what the hell when Alesha has her say but will respect her opinion although the celeb will be more interested in what she has to stay. Alesha is popular with all the pros but they must be secretly seething at the whole thing.
X Factor's back next Saturday.

That's my favourite (lapsing into Brucie speak there... that won't mean anything to you though!)
I really liked Kristina Rhianoff and Brian Fortuna last year, great move by the BBC to bring them over from DWTS .
I shall miss Karen and Camilla this year but thankfully Anton's still dancing! Just hope he gets a better partner this year.

It was Richard Madeley I was thinking of. Didn't even know he was meant to be in it until he dropped out! Sharon Osbourne also quit. I think Natalie Cassidy is this year's Eastender.... if she's still there.
