Do Darcy. Bruno and Craig have teaching experience - or experience of ballroom?
Ray, I believe, judged the ITV one off 'Baby Ballroom' so has experience of judging a TV ballroom competition.
Oh, and if I thought for a minute Donny Osmond would do a whole series... <3
Ray would be good, he's been a junior ballroom champ, he's also judged Baby Ballroom and has won Dancing on Ice once in the year he competed and then again in the competition against all the other champions, so he knows his way around championships and how much work is necessary to get to the final.

Not to mention Alesha.
There are plenty of better people for the job though.
I like the fact some people here are thinking Ray Quinn and i know this may go down unpopular but I would rather have him as a contestant. If Natalie Gumede can do SCD when she is a trainned ballroom and latin dancer beforehand I see no issues with Ray doing it. Would it be another reality show that he would win since he won DOI twice and Get Your Act Together?
I would have all the judges go and the replacments as follows
Craig out replaced by Ian Waite
Darcey Out Replacment Karen Hardy
Len out replacment Anton Du Beke (give Anton head judge as well)
Bruno out replacement Robin Winsor

When and for how long was Nat a trained Ballroom and Latin Dancer.
Joanne Clifton. She's deeply knowledgeable about dance, personable and offers constructive advice unfortunately it would be a bit unfair whilst her brother and sister-in-law are dancers
She had done it as a child like Ray and only stopped 10 years before taking part in SCD. So I would love to see Ray do it. just thinking who he would dance with?

Natalie obviously had experience, but are you sure she had Ballroom and Latin experience? I don't think I've ever read about that on here.
I don't think any judge should go .But I do think Len needs a kick up into the 21st century. I would love Karen hardy as a judge. Personable, knowledgeable. Perfect.

After Anton's disastrous attempt at being funny, he shouldn't be allowed to talk on tv. I was a fan then saw him on a programme and never wanted to see his gurning face again
