... is she replacing Len then?

'Tis the current rumour ...

Makes a lot of sense.

Would make some sense if she did. Much more qualified than some of the other names being bandied about.

Exactly, though I think being head judge would be a bit much. Replace Len, then give CRH the head judge spot.

Agree she shouldn't be Head Judge. I just think she we would be better as one of the judges than others.

yeah I bet she gets len's chair

Really, really, really hope not as I find her sooooooooo excitable on ITT.

Agree. I know it's what she does but how many times can you fit the word "choreography" into one sentence?

dont think it is a sure thing I know BBC are talking to Latin/ballroom people still

She's the only sensible choice as far as I can see. All the talk about Brendan Cole and Anton Du Beke is nonsense, they not suitable choices, and neither are any of the other current judges. Karen has been on the show but not for a while, so she'll have a fresh perspective, she's well liked and well respected on the show and obviously more than qualified to be head judge from a technical point of view with her experience and knowledge.

It's a no brainer.

Will she give up squealing like an eight year old?

Karen is to Strictly what nails are to blackboards
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think you mean Brendan Cole? Brendan Rogers is the manager of Celtic, but at a push after a game I guess he could just about make the studio in time for the show, if he came by private jet

^ I almost fell out of my chair. And I was sitting on a bean bag, that's hard.

Of course, my bad, just been watching an interview with Brendan Rogers in my defence.

Fixed it to hide my embarrassment!

Perfect description

I realise she knows her stuff, but I would have to mute if she were judge. The squealing and screeching would be too much

Why do you say that? Brendan and Anton arent novices. They're pro dancers who are more than qualified to judge a dancing competition.

I'd LOVE it to be Karen! She'd be my first choice, but Anton would be good too. (Sorry Anton fans but I think I'd rather see him judge than dance) But Karen would be heaven, I love her so much on choreography corner!

Please no.

And it is an opportunity to refresh the line up with a new 'talent'.

But he would certainly refresh the line up!! And he is bound to be out of work by summer 2017. The shelf life of a football manager usually seems to be extraordinarily short.

Erin was asked a question on Pointless about whether any of the contestants on Strictly reached professional standards. She had only a very limited time to answer but talked more sense than Karen Hardy does in a week of ITT.

That wouldn't be hard, would it? I'd love someone like Erin - she's clever, dry witted and has a fabulous sense of humour.

Unlike Karen Hardy who has none of the above.

Fwiw, I cannot see her getting the job.
Fingers crossed anyway.
