Just wondering what any other Strictly Come Dancing fans think of the alleged decision to replace Arlene Phillips with Aleesha Dixon? I think its incredibly ageist and also tacky. Arlene is a professional choreographer with years and years of experience, Aleesha is a pop singer with no professional credentials whatsoever. Apparently its to attract younger viewers. What about the existing huge fan base, many of whom are over 35, who like the show as it is? Also, I note its the female judge who's being replaced, not the elderly male judge.
