I would love to see that.

Brendan and Matt could escort them down the stairs and they could both do a little twirl! Of course one of them would probably still fall down the steps

They should let Alesha fill in for Tess, and then Arlene could fill in for Alesha...

'Twould be amazing!

Poor Bruce. Clearly it must be serious if he has to miss the show; I can't imagine a pro like him missing it unless he absolutely has to. Hope he gets well soon.

And I'd love to see Claudia take over the Tess role for the night.

I vote to stick Phil Jones in the Tesspit.

Who's Phil Jones?

looking forward to seeing how the show works with a female presenter.

Will be interesting because Tess doesnt know the first thing about dancing.....just thought I'm onto dangerous territory here because neither does one of the judges

I'd love it to be Claudia. But I think its more likely to be a celebrity who has been voted out. Linda Bellingham?

Wonder who is going to do the Tesspitt then.........and will Tess read out Brucies jokes Claudia for the tesspit maybe

Whi is Phil Jones and as I havent heard of whoever he is he will probably be ideal for the tesspitt.

Rav Wilding? He's male, he's a "presenter".....

Sorry, I dont think there's going to be a replacement!

Just read on MSN that Tess will do the honours..

Yep, we're now trying to work out who will be 'Tess' for the night.

Please not........how about Dom Littlewood he was hugely popular on Strictly

James did a fab report on ITT live from Blackpool last week so give Tess the host and James the Tess job.

Let James Jordan do the tesspit! I think they should have an evicted pro doing it, would be so funny!!!

Is anyone else imagining Marian Keyes making frantic phone calls about now....t'would be her dream job!

edited because I spelt 'frantic' as 'fantic' which I suppose is really about right when you think about it

I would love to see James Jordan in the Tesspit!

The only thing his, when he does his excellent post-show reports, he is just talking to camera. If he did live presenting, he would have the producer gabbling away in his ear as well, which I've read telly people say in interviews is really confusing to begin with.

How about Mark Foster......you have to replace one wooden presenter with another........sorry sorry couldnt resist......

Brendan

Just posted in my thread

Quick, quick, let's all start a petition for JFW to do it with Hammy as his sidekick!

Maybe they could dig up Larry Grayson, dust him down a little, a couple of cans of hairspray and a couple of cans of red bull.

Ready made Brucie replacement.!!

John Barrowman...or Mylene Klass(scoots out quick before I get things thrown at me!)
