I don't get the fuss some are having on here. Someone saying the nickname approach isn't for Strictly and only for other reality shows. But Strictly had DJ Spoony, that's not his actualy name, is it?
Same principle surely?
And if we're going to be uber picky, where on earth did the surnames go for Lulu, Jamelia and now Anastacia?
That's surely just as bad?!

I've not heard of almost half of them this year... but I still think it's appropriate to call him by his proper name, rather than the name of his TV show.
He's not a judge anyway - he's a barrister.
