Strictly Come Dancing 2010
Strictly Come Dancing producers allegedly want Arlene Phillips to return to the judging panel.
Phillips was replaced by singer Alesha Dixon for the last series of the show.
The News of the World has now claimed that Phillips is being lined up to return if Dixon decides not to stay on the panel.
"Last year she said she'd never go back," a source said. "But she's been on the Strictly tour with Len [Goodman], Bruno [Tonioli] and Craig [Revel Horwood] and remembered how much fun they have.
"She's concentrating on her new show So You Think You Can Dance but her position on Strictly is never say never. She's made sure she has time in her schedule."
The insider added that the show's producers "have nothing against Alesha" but continued: "If she doesn't return they'd very much like Arlene to be back in the chair she rightly deserves. They admit the show lost something without her."
However, a BBC spokesperson said: "This is all speculation. It is far too early to say anything about the new series."
