I have seen Camilla in the flesh and yes she is stunning.
Well not literally in the flesh because I did not go to see Calendar Girls.

She walks resolutely very fast from A to B, her golden locks trailing in the wind she creates......

Very fanciable.

So clearly pretty enough and indeed knowledgable enough on the subject of dance to be a judge

Danish-born Camilla hosted a 3-hour programme at Easter for Radio Norfolk and remained entertaining to the end in her mellifluous voice. She was interesting, but headed away from trouble rather than looked for it.

Some Strictly judges who slam celebs for being clumsy with body language, themselves deserve a 3 paddle in handling the English language.

I am just wondering if the two years away from Strictly is sufficient enough break for the PTB to bring her back. She is firends with all of the dancers so there is no danger of any bias

Didn't Camilla quit SCD because Alesha was made a judge instead of her?

Not sure that Brendan would be entirely comfortable when it came to Camilla criticizing one of his dances.

And presumably Brendan is quite important to the program, if my memory is correct in that he is/was a judge in the States.

Camilla had announced she was leaving two days after winning the final.

Brendan and Camilla have immense respect for each other - the issues they had are now behind them - they are friends again. Brendan is actually quite protective of Camilla

Id vote for dannii to get the gig!

Also when Camilla left she said she wanted to leave on a high and she did - there was nowhere really to go from there - she'd done 6 series and proved she could teach and achieved her ultimate goal of winning - you only have to look at how the other established pros are/were treated ie Matt, Ian, Lilia, Darren, Erin etc and see she did the right thing.

Which means that there is no axe to grind with her for the PTB - to all intgents and purposes she went out on top

Sorry, but the thought of going from partnering Brendan Cole to Mark Foster doesn't fill me with enthusiasm for Camilla.

You are being very unfair there to three people. Camilla taught Mark because she was asked and wanted to help. she had a marvellous prtnership with Brendan.

And what difference does who she dances with make to her ability in being a judge

light-hearted humour. I am sure Mark (yawn) is lovely but it's Brendan for me.

Camilla still dances with Ian too so she's kept up that partnership as well - Ian in many ways is the perfect partner for her...Mark wanted to improve his dancing - anyway he's reaping the rewards of dancing with Camilla - you could see how much he had improved on Dancing with Wheels.

Ian was there for Cam when she really needed it - she had finished with Brendan personally and professionally - and teaming up with Ian was the best thing ever folr her- they are brilliant together and I love their latin. That samba they did with Lilia and Darren to Copacobana was fantastic

Wonderful partnership - would be nice if Ian was to suggest Cam for judges job - Go on Ian do it

I thought Camilla and Ian were absolutely great together. I adore Brendan but never got the magic of them together
