You not telling me the BBC couldn't find somebody with some judging experience if they wanted to replace Arlene.
The BBC execs have been watching too much X Factor.

I Completely agree.
Alesha is fantastic at what she does best, sing, dance and be an entertainer and I am fan of her music and her as a person, but I think the Beeb have made a huge BIG mistake in giving her this position as a judge, especially over Arlene who along with Craig gives their most honest (if harsh at times) critique on what they see. How can Alesha compete with Arlene's years of knowledge of dance and choreography?


Can Alesha be brutally honest in her critique, or will it be sugar coated with niceness? I say bring back Arlene, she knew what she was talking about.
Alesha as a judge - NO WAY
Alesha as mentor - YES that would work, advise and support the celebrity, because she has been there herself.
Alesha a regular slot on ITT - YES that's fine along with Claudia discussing the weekends events.
Also apparently Alesha has had to reschedule her Saturday Tour Dates to alternate nights of the week, to fit Strictly in?
I thought Alesha would've wanted to give more priority to her singing career, as she struggled with it before joining Strictly as a contestant.
