I wouldn't watch if he was on it, he put me off watching dancing on ice. Craig does the "nasty judge" thing 10 times better and although he's not my favourite judge I never felt like there was any real malice behind what he says.

I think an ex-pro would be great maybe Karen Hardy, Ian, Lilia, Erin or maybe even a current pro like Anton, Natalie or Brendon.

a thousand times no

a vile,ignorant creature who ruined DoI

if he was hired i would certainly abandon SCD as i did DoI when he returned

My vote (as with others) is for Anton, he has the ballroom knowledge and surely his time as a pro is up?

Can we ditch Bruno too please? Same old same old whenever the camera's on him

No I don't want Jason Gardiner! Very bad idea. Craig can very cutting, but he's making a point and pointing our errors. Jason just seemed to like making people feel like complete crap.

No. Keep this vile man as far away from Strictly as is possible

I still remembering him comparing Sharon Davies to a floating turd in a toilet

I reckon he used to spend the week before a DOI show thinking up nasty insults and then deciding who he could assign them to.

I think his worst insult was telling one contestant, who had a brother with cerebral palsy, that he looked like a chimpanzee with a couple of missing chromosomes. That proved he's ignorant as well as nasty because a chimpanzee has 48 chromosomes and a human 46, so missing a couple would make him a normal human being. Not that cerebral palsy has anything to do with chromosomes anyway.

He maintained he was being cruel to be kind, but he's just a bully. You'd think he'd act differently since he claimed he was bullied as a child.

IMO he also insulted every bald person by having a hair transplant because he was "embarrassed" being bald.

Absolutely not. No relevant experience.

I think the general consensus from everyone on here is a resounding NO.

Hope he's reading this thread.

Is this still going? For pities sake NO, just NO.

Karen Hardy definitely - there is no-one more qualified and already connected with the show. Unlike Len Goodman she has international status.

Well someone should, certainly. Let's have someone with genuine international competition success, not just a jumped-up elementary medal-test teacher. Karen Hardy would be the obvious choice.
