I liked his three dance choices especially Ricky Whittle who is often overlooked.
I wonder if his DVD is worth a look?

Len's replacement from ballroom dancing? There are still one or two Cliftons that are not on SCD yet.

He was also on This Morning the other week and talked about how much he liked Ricky Whittle and how he was "his winner", but the public chose Chris and he respected that.
I do really hope producers find a replacement who has experience judging the 10 dances. I have a feeling they will - Alesha was different, they still had Len on the panel, for one thing. I would like to think they recognise that they need at least one judge with relevant knowledge! |

If they don't, then the show will become a total farce. But there are names from the ballroom world being bandied about, so I think they will.

I'd agree with Ian Waite, or bring back Arlene Philips

Don't know if they're still there or not but I can't find them on You Tube anymore. They used to have the eliminated pro helping out with the red button commentary the week after they were eliminated back in 2007.

All the talk from Strictly crew suggests they're going to get an experienced judge to replace Len. All the talk from the papers is about Anton, presumably because they're short of a story and don't know what else to write.

I agree, keep it in house and he ain't ever gonna win the show so he either needs to be added to the panel or dropped.
Just please, please, please NEVER let him sing again. Add to panel or dropped. Now let me think... |

I well remember the red button, but I'm intrigued about who the two couples were that you mention in "he botched commenting on the best two latin dances of the night and possibly of the series?"

Len always used to say Alesha was his favourite female celebrity, I find it odd he's not mentioned her when being asked about the best dances and it doesn't look like she's featured in he's DVD.

maybe her 'judging' put him off her I think it did a lot of people and they didn't have to work with her.

Matt DA's salsa and Alesha's ccc - he didn't seem to realise that they were very good dances or recognise this in his commentary. I didn't help that he just didn't like Matt DA probably because he was quite matey with Vincent.
I miss Vincent...<sigh> |

Oh don't be silly! He's about as charismatic and an old facecloth abandoned on a sink.
He is NOT a presenter, he is not overly bright and he simply does not have the gravitas to do it. His forays into TV presenting have been a utter disaster. Just because he's there does not mean he deserves the slot. Fresh blood please - and please not some po-faced ballroom 'expert' from an obscure off the map town. They are never interesting. And brains would be nice. And some wit? I know, I know - too much to hope for ![]() |

I disagree I don't think every pro has to be in it to win it so speak. Anton has done some interesting stuff with both Katie and Lesley in the last two years I think there is a place of him. He's also one of the program's most recognisable and personable pros or maybe he could be a roving reporter behind the scenes type guy.

Politics. Alesha left for a rival ITV show. She's now officially an un-person to the stalinist Beeb. She needs to avoid umbrellas and bridges.
