According to a report this morning Craig Revel Horwood is considering having a year away from Strictly.
I expect he will tweet if its true or not at some point

As much as we all love Karen i dont think she is high profile enough with the general public for the BBC. The bbc seem to be going down the route of celeb status rather than knowledge .

OMG so we could end up with John Sergeant. Or is this the perfect chance to bring back Arlene
Karen isn't the only credible replacement. Any of the pros associated with the show have more than enough knowledge to fill the role.
Darren Bennett has just done a stint judging at Blackpool, and Lilia was the head judge on the Turkish version of Strictly, so there's two for a start! Camilla has also expressed interest in the past.

Camilla would be a lovely choice - but she is tied in with Calendar Girls till the end of the year.
I doubt Lilia would get it after being so vociferous about how hurt she was - and it wopuld require someone who is known to be tough - Karen or Arlene(I think is might be Arlene as she has the choreography background) like Craig does
Lilia was quite a mean judge on the Turkish DWTS actually- she was like Craig only less of a drama queen.
Noo. Craig is the only judge who actually does a good job. The rest just blather on about how amazing everyone is.

Craig is fab - he'd be a big miss. PM for you Kyle
NO ONE can replace CRH! If he goes, they might as well get rid of judges all together. Craig is the only one with any kind of integrity 
And as for Karen.... just no!
( Talking of low profile, my daughter works in a cafe, and served Karen on Saturday. She was the only one who recognised her! )

Yeah totally agree apart from being a bit too picky Craig is really good compared to the other judges who sometimes don't no what they are doing
If the rumours of SYTYCD being axed are true, then Arlene might use this to return as it would be work for her.

Can't see the Beeb letting her back - it would be seen in some quarters as an admission that they shouldn't have dropped her in the first place.
Do hope CRH doesn't do this and hope I'm right that the high profile SCD gives him will be too important to risk. On the other hand, he might find it hard to juggle panto and SCD... time will tell.
