So far Len has not herd from the BBC.

"Of course, I would love to do it. The BBC usually get in touch around this sort of time. They haven't been in communication with me yet, so I am still waiting."

The BBC are currently unable to confirm one way or the other.

They probably want to replace Len with Chris Hollins

Didn't someone say that Camilla or Karen might be judges. They would be cheaper then Len but I still think they will keep last years judge line up.

I think this article is purely speculative. As Len says, the judges would normally be contacted in June, so it is early days yet. Len was probably asked a direct question and a whole article was written based on that one answer!

If Len does go and is not replaced by a Ballroom/Latin judge, then I do think the credibility of the show will suffer.

I would be very suprised if Len is going anywhere unlessit was by his own choice.

That's the wish of quite a lot of people on here more than actual rumour - I would love it if Karen joined the judging panel!

But I think she should replace Bruno, not Len!

And there's no substance to the article at all, there's no reason to think he won't be asked back!

Karen would be my choice to replace ANY judge!

I can't see Len being dropped but I'd donate a kidney (albeit someone else's ) to see the back of Bruno. A panel consisting of Craig as a largely 'performance' judge, Len as head judge, Alesha as a 'celebs perspective' judge and Camilla/Karen as a 'celeb/pro/performance' judge would imo give the panel a better balance and just might halt the march to panto dame status that the panel seem to have been hell-bent on for the last two years

I don't think it's likely to happen but a guy can still dream

I think the only circumstances under which Len would be dropped would be if the BBC felt he was asking for too many quids.

Agreed - that would be the best panel we could hope for, and would work for exactly the different judging styles you pointed out

I'm dreaming the same dream!

Bruno is an utter embarrassment who has become an appalling parody of himself. He's neither amusing nor entertaining.

I'm not a great fan of Len but I can see the point of him being there. Whereas there is no point in Bruno being there whatsoever ...

Looks like a lot of us dream the same dream - spooky!

Lol. I'm dreaming the same dream too! Very spooky!

Maybe we are being invaded by mind controlling aliens!

Or maybe we're all just sensible!

Unlike the powers that be!

My dream is that Karen replaces Alesha and another woman replaces Bruno - the panel is top heavy with men at the moment.

I'm OK with Len and Craig staying - but hope Craig cuts out the personal comments and Len refrains from the expostulating manner that has come to irritate the hell out of me.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED CRH last year, I thought he was great and really funny!

Methinks Mr Goodman might be touting for a payrise.
I cant see the BBC letting him go that easily. He would be hard to replace as head judge with somone both well known, likeable and qualified...

Unless of course Ms Dixon is looking for a promotion ?

Could you somehow plant yourself on the production team? We'll club together and write you a knockout CV.

Love this idea for a panel, who do we send the petition too?

I'm not sure, but I'd deliver it personally wearing nothing but a pringles tube if I thought it would do any good

And what part of the anatomy would the pringle tube cover - your nose?.

Haven't we met before? For a moment there I thought that you might be my 'ex' posting under a pseudonym...

I'm happy to see Craig at his best. I thought last year that he started throwing around the big numbers too much and was too friendly. If people cant cope with being given 1, the the judges should have paddles from 9.1, 9.2, etc to 10.

Len has health problems, but if they were going to do the show right, he would still have a place. I'm concerned that if they bring in enough new genres of dance, Len will not fit in so well.

Karen - I would like to see on the panel.

Alesha - I dont think we need. The celebs are interviewed a lot and that is the best way to get the celebs opinion on things. Alesha's role is superfluous, unless it is to add glamour.

Bruno has been getting more extreme. His behaviour and comments are reminiscent of someone who is 'tipsy'. I'm sure they could find a better judge.

I've been away for a couple of days - but I brought you a pressie; a smarties tube - I thought you might find a use for it.
