Fair point. Though I think you stretching things a bit when you refer to 3 male judges.
Maybe thats why its nice to have a presenter who doesn't drool over the celebs bodies.
How abou Angela Ripon. She knows about dance, is a good presenter and wouldn't descend to the level of some of the others on the show.

Well, I think we know what the showdance is going to be.

I won't be able to look at Ben's chest now without being reminded of Howard and Raj and laughing. Love the Big Bang Theory.

As regards John Barrowman - he showed last night he would be the worst ever choice as a presenter for Strictly - it would turn into Strictly John Barrowman.

I cannot stand John Barrowman many people moan about Bruce but my goodness if Barrowman took over it wouldn't be SCD it would be the "Barrowman show"

It does make a change.

I hope Tess & Claudia host the show when Bruce goes, but sadly I think the BBC is still too conservative to go with a female presenter in the main role - not for the flagship show.

Let's go mad and get Harry Hill

Bruce is a professional through and through, Barrowman isn't fit to lick his boots. I would turn off is he got Bruce's job.

Or even two male judges, two female judges and one male presenter and one female interviewing the couples. Bruno and Len have jobs on dancing with stars so one of them should go.

Why not a female presenter and a male interviewer?

Stereotypes need changing and something so radically different would make a refreshing change to the bog standard, male dominated presenting role.

Well said. Same here. If he ever gets on the main show as a contestant or whatever then I will just switch over when he's on. Awful man.

Sorry Alan, but the woman is a raging know it all snob. I would absolutely HATE for her to present SCD.

I agree, if anything could put me off watching it would be JB presenting. I like the two girls presenting and loved Claudia on It takes two.

Me Too

I though Claudia was great on the main show .She manages to diffuse tension and make me laugh out loud .

Barrowman is a botoxed ghoul who is only good enough to sing yodelling songs about dildos. IMO of course.

Agree agree agree, I would hate if he hosted the show

I can't stand his 'look at me' attitude. Poor Suggs was completely sidelined as JB gave lengthy discourse on almost every one of the celebrities on ITT. Hogged the segment. Was almost expecting him to break into song.

Exactly, so self obsessed

I'd agree, he's way too busy to take over from Bruce.

Barrowman goes on QVC to promote his Him skin care range, and Her hair care range (he jointly owns the company that produce them, so he's not just a celebrity adding his 'name' to the product).

Barrowman also has a successful Childrens novel series (Hollow Earth), 2 already published , the 3rd pipeline, and he's just been commissioned to do 4 more . The tv rights to it have already been sold

Barrowman is also a recurring character in the hit tv series Arrow, (he was the main villain in the last season, so not just a 'bit part'), which has raised his profile in the USA, so he's been spending much more time there recently.

He was also in Scandal, and he hosts 'Sing Your Face Off'' for ABC.

Not forgetting doing Pressure Pad for the BBC (which he filmed in one block a few months ago before jetting back to the states again).

So yeah, he sure will have time to fit in Strictly as well!

Totally agree, was at a live show he did, and as they say "if he was chocolate we would eat himself"

Please BBC don't consider John Barrowman or Mrs Winkle as a permanent presenter for SCD. I managed to watch last nights show without having to listen to one word the giddy one uttered....I switched off the Friday ITT show as soon as mouth almighty appeared...

If Natalie has medical problems leading to her faints John could be right!

Which accent would he use? American or Scottish?
