Cheryl rumoured to be taking over from Darcy, all I can say is WTF does she know about ballroom dancing or any dancing?

I think she did a bit of ballet and other dancing growing up!

Go Harvey Go

THAT woman is being rumoured for Darcey's job? THAT woman?

Seriously, what is the world coming to?!?!? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:



That woman makes Ashley Roberts look like Shakira - and that says a lot.

If Ashley got the job, I probably wouldn't be inclined to watch the show - but I'd still follow it on here and on other *reliable* sites. But in the (surely) highly unlikely event that that ridiculous rumour turned out to be true, and THAT woman got the job... well, I'd stop following the show altogether. Plain and simple. :mad:

I'd probably consider it one of the worst moves the BBC ever made, too. And that would say a lot as well.

I've danced my entire life but it still wouldn't qualify me to judge a professional competition.

Did you watch they greatest dancer, she does know a bit about contemporary dance but not ballroom.

Postgrad10

There's a rumour on the Strictly Facebook page that Darcey's ex ballet partner might have been approached.

I think it should be Natalie Lowe or Aliona Vilani.

No , didn't watch it tbh .
I think it should be one of the ex professional dancers that should be a judge , or at least considered way before Cheryl Cole , or whatever name she uses now is .

I'd say Anton is eager to do it, begging the door down to get on the judging panel

He'll not get it. He's still needed for the pro dance.

It's called fake news. Publicity for the tour.

Pasha and Rachel are expecting a baby. Lovely news

The judges will be dancing with the contestants this year. That should be interesting.

I don't see the appeal of this at all and it's not needed, it'll be too much like the voice now, the judges should be that and judge... from a far...

Postgrad10

Eh it’s all right when the join in on a group performance and Craig is just about ok in that ( he does the exact same Charleston move in every group performance). At least Shirley can dance.

pinkypinky

I love seeing the judges dance on the RTE version so maybe it'll be fun here too.

Postgrad10

Do they dance with contestants as suggested on Strictly or do you mean group dances like Strictly ?

Catherine Tyldesley who played Eva Price in Coronation Sreet is meant to be in talks with producers!

I piggin hope she does it. And gets partnered with Anton.

Postgrad10

Yeah I actually thought she’d have been in last years Strictly. Would be great for Anton to get someone who can bend ( in his own words)!!

She says she has two left feet!

Oh great !

Still think we could dye Katie Derhams hair, spray tan her, and give her a new name.

Daily mail is reporting Harry Judd as top contender to take judging role. I don’t know about that, it should be someone from the professional dancing world. I was thinking Natalie Lowe, Aliona Vilani or someone we don’t know. Harry is my favorite past contestant and I was even watching his Vienesse waltz yesterday on YouTube and commenting on his actual dance skill as opposed to Joe Sugg who danced to the same song this year. But Harry as a judge, I really don’t know.

Oh no.....hope they dont make another mistake like Aleisha Dixon.....needs to be a professional of some sorts to carry some weight with me

Postgrad10

Yeah it really should be a professional. I thought Alesha was just ok, certainly wasn’t terrible as judging but why take her on and get rid of Arlene Philips I don’t know.

Postgrad10

Pasha and Rachel got married over the weekend. Congratulations to them both.

It's the Daily Mail - so take it with a pinch of salt. Regardless if you're a frequent or occasional reader.

As I've said before, Strictly was already on a pretty bumpy road when Arlene was unceremoniously let go - with the controversial nature of Tom Chambers' victory (not that he didn't deserve to win, of course), and the X Factor in its golden period.

Obviously, over the last seven years or thereabouts, it's had an almost perfectly smooth ride, with just the occasional bump (like, ahem, Seann Walsh). That's not to say it won't travel over an uneven surface again, however - and if it does, Simon Cowell won't be playing a part this time.

New judge Motsi Mabuse!

Cathmandooo

Oooh so she'll be judging her sister Oti? That'll be weird

Never seen Motsi in anything but a quick google says she was a judge in the German Strictly

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49075803

Postgrad10

Judge for 9 years in Germany. Can’t see her treating Oti or her partner any differently. She’s very fair.

Fantastic choice.

Meauldsegosha

She was on Celebrity Googlebox with Oti and her other sister. They didn’t feature much but came across very well. I love Oti on SCD, she is a great dancer. Her Samba with Danny Mac one of the best dances on SCD ever.

Cathmandooo

Sounds like she has loads of experience and has judged oti before, looking forward to the new series

368100

She's obviously well qualified but the cynic in me thinks having a bit more diversity on the judging panel played a part in the decision, I may be wrong

My favourite dance too! Samba is sooh hard to pull off - theirs was amazing. I also enjoyed Charles’s samba last year (especially as he is tall).

Yes my favorite Blackpool dance last year

I was rooting for Charles last year - his street dance was seriously cool as well (& I’m not usually a fan of this dance genre)

Postgrad10

I definitely think Charles was a fantastic match for Karen. It was probably her best year. It reminded me how talented she is and i’m not usually a fan. I read Brendan Cole’s column in hello last year and he said they were the couple to watch out for and he was right.
