She could just do it all by herself
![]() Receive the couples at the judges' desk after they've danced then walk with them to Tess'pit, do her thing there and then introduce the next couple, then run backstage to be ready for when they've finished.

Heard a rumour Jeremy Paxman, who's been in the audience at the show before, will be filling in backstage for Tess.
'And so, Ricky Whittle, how do you think that went?' 'It was fast, man - really fast.' 'Yeeeeeeeess, thought it might be ...' Look of a moderately amused aardvark. 'And we should take it you were loving it, should we?' 'Yeah, lovin' it, man. Absolutely lovin' it.' 'Yeeeeeeess.' Lugubrious roll of the eyes. 'Now back to Tess for what apparently should be some more side-splitting, unscripted hilarity.' Looking forward to it.

But doesn't it say on the BBC News page that Claudia will do it?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8358632.stm Co-presenter Tess Daly will be taking on the 81-year-old's hosting role while her backstage duties will be handled by Claudia Winkleman. |

I would like to see Lionel Blair filling in for Bruce. He is a showbiz legend and he can dance.

Whatever you think of Claudia, she can be guaranteed to know all the dancers and their progress/marks so far, so it does make sense to have her in the pit. It's only for one show anyway. Worse things have happened at sea ...... |

According to the Sky Info banner, (at time of writing), it states that Tess, Paul O'Grady and Claudia are presenting.

Claudia didn't mention anything about Paul, she just said it'd be her and Tess.

Those keen on Claudia have obviously forgotten how awful she was when Graham Norton's sidekick in the European version of Strictly. Tess will also be hopeless and out of her depth in Bruce's shoes. Bringing in Wogan and leaving Tess in the Tess-pit would have been much, much better.

Got to say I'm looking forward to it! Wonder how the entry to the top of the stairs, walk down, little dance and hug's going to go? Also, will they do the "Keeeeeeeeeeep dancing" bit at the end of the show
![]() I think the combo could work very well. Blackpool last week, this week Claudia in the Tesspit and next week we have tickets for the studio. Life doesn't get any better! |

Have to laugh at the timing... in a week where everyone's talking about Simon's decision on the X Factor and people are talking about boycotting it, this happens on Strictly. Bet the ratings will go up as people tune in to see how it goes without Bruce.
If I was a suspicious person, I'd wonder if TPTB had been leaving the windows in his dressing room open

I only hope for Tesses sake that they don't make her tell Brucie's awful, rehearsed jokes

Guys, Why on earth would the BBC call up someone else who has no idea of the format of the show and would be more of a headache to the producers. I think Caludi is the right person, because she's involved in the show.
