The beeb have said there are to be changes made to the It Takes Two.

Darcey Bussell has been named as being part of it. OK, that much I like, but not if it means we lose the wonderfully zany Claudia!

Claudia has confirmed she is presenting

Thank goodness for that- PM for you QM

Phew, what a relief!

Thankfully Claudia is returning

Please BBC show it's takes two on a thursday in Scotland...hate missing it...especially on the wednesday when Claudia announces that Lilia will be on tomorrow

Do you have Freeview Laura. They changed it last year so that us viewers up here in Scotland could view it via the red button on freeview...I hope they do the same again this year.

please let it be the same this year

I'm not a Claudia fan, the faux little girl act both speaking and dancing drives me crazy.

If ever there was a slot that suited Alesha it would be as Claudia's replacement.

Alesha is possibly not suited to the ITT job any more than she is suited to be a judge. Why do the BBC want her? All they have succeeded in doing is to make a lot of people wonder if there is any point in watching this show any more.

I honestly don't get that. ITT is about thinking quick on your feet, repartee, humour, character and variety.

Claudia is so imperfectly perfect!

Claudia is my favourite presenter ever!!!!

I think that sums her up precisely!! I think she's like a breath of fresh air.

To bring the younger viewers in they are going to dress Claudia in a thong and bunny ears for the sexy side and Darcy in burbery for the chavs and she has to say innit and boi a lot

seriously i think the series will be fine and change is a worrying thing and for gods sake not sure about Alesha but we get what we get

i love itt and claudia can't wait till it comes back on i get withdrawl symptoms after watching for 4 months and then its suddenly not on anymore they should have a last itt after the final

Personally I find Darcy not my cup of tea and cannot imagine what it is going to be like with Aleshia and Darcy making comments and judgements on the dancing of the competitors. What does a classically trained ballet dancer know about ballroom or perhaps we are not going to bother with ballroom but to attract the younger audience we will now have semi-dressed competitors doing break-dancing and showing as much skin as possible. I do not know who this new producer is but I am appalled by her decisions and despair that she is a woman yet is so ageist regarding other women in the show. If the BBC are so desperate to save money why do they not get rid of Bruce and his huge salary and put somebody else in i.e. Tess's husband for example. Why oh Why do they always do this, get a great family show and completely change it!!

Vernon oh my god no, nothing wrong with Bruce he makes the show as far as i am concerned

I agree about Claudia but not Alesha as a replacement

Dont we already have that ?? Mark Foster and Ola's catsuit come to mind.

Claudia can't be beaten, she managed to keep ITT entertaining and light hearted throughout the last series even with all the "faults" with the main show. If the show does go down hill (even further) this year than at least we'll have Claudia during the weeks to keep it going .

I can't imagine anyone else hosting ITT, it was this show that got me into SCD and the main show, she's an excellent host.

We all know what Ignazio means I'm sure, but I warmed to the silliness... she's like a ditzy goblin.
I just think it's a shame that 5 shows a week have achieved almost nothing to educate the viewer about dance.
And what has Darcy Bussell done to justify a slot on the program exactly??

shes so random....i love that

would anyone like to see claudia replace tess? i would

no i wouldnt.....she's much more suited to a smaller audience so she can be a free spirit....plus claudia in those dresses....thats so not her

the dresses are not that bad i have seen worst, but i got to admit her shoes will break her ankle soon
