TV presenter Esther Rantzen has called for the BBC to save a failing Strictly Come Dancing, by bringing back judge Arlene Phillips.
Arlene was sacked and replaced by Alesha Dixon earlier this year. Esther wrote in The Daily Mail:
Of course, bring back Arlene. Alesha, gorgeous as she is, can’t compete with the authority of a worldclass choreographer. Let’s just say this was an experiment that failed.
Simon Cowell made a mistake when he sacked Louis Walsh from The X Factor, owned up and reversed his decision. BBC, you can do it.
