True a professional could be a better idea to go with Karen I think is just great she can dance and I would listen to what she had to say
One of the ex-dancers like Karen or Camilla would be good at least they would have a knowledge of the dances and steps. If fine bringing in Aleshia to boost viewing figures but if she doesn't know what she is talking about she is going to look a complete joke.
Is it definite that Arlene is going to be replaced or is it all rumors?
IF it is true that Arlene is leaving and IF it is true that Alesha is coming on board, I WON'T be watching anymore.
I'm sorry but I can't stand her and watching her gush, week in week out, and that blimming laugh of hers (no offence to her, sorry etc) but I wouldn't be able to watch. My eldest son said the same and a couple of others I've spoken to aswell. We already have Bruno as the flamboyant one - we don't need Alesha. At least Arlene has true choreography experience and tbh, her and Craig, whilst sometimes harsh, are the only honest judges on the panel!!
According to DS, she's scheduled to be promoting The Alesha Show during October and November anyway, which if true, would make it impossible for her to do SCD.
I was dead surprised to read about Arlene being replaced on Strictly Come Dancing. I couldn’t see the need for the show to have such a dramatic change. The panel of judges with Len, Craig and Bruno worked very well for the past few years and I have always loved Arlene’s opinion as she is someone that knows her craft very well.
If this rumour is true - I hope that it isn’t - I will not be watching the new show. The only way it will work for me is if they replaced Arlene with someone like Karen Hardy. Someone who will know what their talking about then for someone who has just learnt to ballroom dance in a crash course over 10 weeks :(
Is there any need for Arlene to be replaced?
I hope that these stories are just rumours and I look forward to reading a statement from the BBC and Arlene quashing these rumours. Alesha seems like a nice girl but she needs to stop living off her win from Strictly Come Dancing. This happened 2 years ago, in my eyes it’s time to move on, she needs to try to have a career away from this as it’s coming across like she can’t do anything except gloat about her win from Strictly.
I don't see how the beeb replacing Arlene with Alesha will make the show more popular, last year it won a TV award at the NTA beating the X-factor and other reality shows, which proves viewers are happy with the format and judges.
Alesha gets on my t*ts as she did everyweek when she was a contestant on SCD but if she was to be an assest to the show then I would tolerate her but I just get the impression she is just desparate to be on every tv she show for her own benefit and not to boost viewing figures.
i think that if Arlene has gone its not automatic that she'll be replaced with Alesha, the press just make stuff up. remember how they said she'd be replacing Tess on maternity leave and Tess has already had her baby!
Karen would rock as a judge. and whilst Arlene has served the show well i do think that if any one judge had to go it was her- her comments were TERRIBLE last series! she just seems more keen on giving a topical reference or saying something with aliteration rather than real advice.
Karen could be good as judge but is taking part this year?
Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman has revealed that he is recovering from an operation to remove a cancerous tumour from his prostate gland.
The 65-year-old, who was diagnosed with the disease in March, told the Mail On Sunday that he had decided to delay the surgery until he had finished filming the US version of Strictly.
"I could have said 'sorry' and not done the show, but the doctors felt I wasn’t riddled with it and it wasn’t so far advanced that it was a life-or-death scenario," he said.
"I have had the surgery now. Everything is gorgeously good. I will be back in September for sure... You're a bit sore for a while and you can't play golf, which is the biggest blow at the moment. But I will be able to in a month's time or so, I can't wait."
Goodman went on to say that he had kept the diagnosis secret from his BBC colleagues, explaining: "People generally think 'bloody hell'. With all the hoo-ha about Strictly coming up, I thought, 'Just my luck, they won’t want that old fart on it, the cancer-riddled, bed-ridden old so-and–so'."
He added that "men, probably more than women, tend to ignore their health" and that it is important to get checked up every year so that "they can catch it early and you have a good chance".
Hope he recovers soon
STRICTLY Come Dancing champion Camilla Dallerup is to wed her ex-Hollyoaks star boyfriend Kevin Sacre.
The pair got engaged two weeks ago on a weekend in Capri, Italy.
The ballroom professional is now busy planning the dream wedding she missed when she was ditched by fiance Brendan Cole in 2004.
Fellow Strictly star Brendan dropped her after falling for partner Natasha Kaplinsky on the BBC1 hit.
Danish-born Camilla, 35, was overjoyed when Kevin proposed - despite the actor making a hash of the big moment on a rocky shore.
Kev, 31, who played Jake in the C4 soap, admitted: "I fumbled around for the ring.
"I tried to say something profound about there being beautiful rocks and here's another - luckily she didn't hear that."
Camilla, who won Strictly last year partnering Holby City's Tom Chambers, laughed: "It was quite possibly one of the worst proposals - but for us it was perfect."
They will wed next July. Camilla told Hello! magazine: "I'd like a beach wedding. We go to so many elegant parties so I want to be more relaxed."
Congratulations to them :cheer:
