Judging by her recent chatshow appearances it's a good thing she wasn't allowed her chance to 'shine'.

Alesha's replacement poll
Everyone vote on this poll (http://t.co/ODOSNSqx) for who you want to be Alesha's replacement.
Will be interesting to see who's the most popular. |

Big mistake on Alesha's behalf imho. Wonder if Simon Cowell offered her some sort of deal which will make her viewable in the US?
It smacks to me that eh has gone after the SCD panel purely to try and distrupt the show for beating X Factor this year. Simon soon gets bored of his judges though - so Alesha will do well to survive beyond one series. Look at what happened to our Cheryl! Was hoping Dannii Minogue would get the BGT gig - she is a lot more articulate and has experience from the Aussie show. |

I think she'll be more suited to BGT. On the Strictly panel I always felt like she was out of her comfort zone next to the other judges.

Yes I too think Alesha is better suited to BGT. No technical expertise is really required.

I think it's a certainty that she's joining BGT panel... good move! SCD is a massive show but would the audience buy her records?

Oh-my-God. Best news of this year, last year and practically any other year. Goodbye you over promoted talentless muppet. You should have gone after the first show.

Is it actually confirmed that she is joining BGT? Holden won't be pleased to have another woman on the panel I bet!

I've just read a supposed quote from her in that she wants her own chatshow and to be the British 'Oprah'!

No!!! I love Alesha. She brings glamour to the panel and she has an understanding of what the contestants go through and she has a large score range (unlike Len and Bruno) Just IMO.
![]() Wonder if we could persuade her to take Len with her? |

The BBC haven't "realised" anything - Alesha evidently has been made a better offer elsewhere and has chosen to leave Strictly.
I am disappointed she is leaving as I feel the panel is just right the way it is. People are also assuming her replacement will automatically be to their liking, All I can say is: be careful what you wish for. They could well be on the phone to Jennifer Grey right now.. Apart from her constantly agreeing with the others on technical matters and just saying ' you were fantastic' I picked up a couple of other things from 2011 series. Her overmarking of Russell Grant was embarrassing and attempts to talk up Jason Donovan and Holly Valance from the quarter final onwards rather than Harry and Chelsee was a mistake. I suspect this 'popstar' affinity had something to do with it. She made it too obvious who she favoured and neither of those were genuine contenders to win. It's also why having a popstar on the panel is a mistake. |

I disagree. She might have wanted to do other things but the statement they've put suggests to me that they didn't fall over themselves to keep her.

Would you think it worth considering another former SCD CELEB as her replacement ?
Would that have been why Zoe was doing ITT? If not Wouldnt Darcy be a bit of a coup ? |

I quite liked Alesha and her chemistry with the other judges. I hope she's not made a mistake; it'll be Christine Bleakley all over again!
As for her replacement, well that leaves the panel with 3 white males. Will the whole panel be refreshed to be more diverse? I'm sure that was one of the reasons for adding Alesha in the first place - young, pretty, mixed race etc |

No! Shall I go on? How about failed singing something or other? Can't caller her a singing sensation 'cos Lulu has that snapped up, and legend might be a bit OTT!
I can't think of one single positive feature about her and her judging role. I still fume that Arlene, with all her years of skill, talent and knowledge was sacrificed for that inarticulate, unprofessional common chav. |

Might be a sensible move on Alesha's part - those arguing Strictly is more loyal than Cowell might want to ask Arlene, or Ian, or Matthew, or Darren, or Lilia, or Brian, or Hayley, or Jared... - with Simon back on the panels the press are probably going to be back onside with his programmes this year, and will push them back up to better ratings again. He's also got a very good track record of pushing women of mediocre talents (Cheryl, Dannii, Tulisa, Amanda ****ing Holden) to national celebrity and success via promoting them on his shows as judges. The only real disaster stories for female judges from his shows are Kelly Brook, and possibly Kelly Rowland, who was dreadful on a level that Alesha can only imagine.
