Well like I said if has all been going off this week in Strictlyland and what do I do? I miss it by being on holiday!!! Yes it has been fun lying on the beach, swimming in the sea and drinking mammoth gin & tonics…but you my faithful blogees deserve more! I promise never to goon holiday again during a Strictly crisis.
Ok so now that I’m forgiven (hopefully!) let’s get on with the goss; the nitty gritty..
Arlene Phillips, beloved judge and Strictly favourite has been unceremoniously dumped by the BBC…cost-cutting…ageism…x factor wannabee-ism… call it what you want but I call it complete pants-ism. I’ll stop isming now…there’s a cream for that you know?
So who shall be replacing my beloved Arlene at a cost to the taxpayer of £100 000? Alesha Dixon. Fine. I get it She won the show. She’s really nice. But she ain’t Arlene. I’ll get over it…maybe.
Will the next newcomer please come on down.. ballet legend Darcy Bussell. I get it. She’s a worldclass ballet dancer. She’s knows dance. But she ain’t Arlene.
