    I would far rather Anton was a judge than the over the top Bruno.

    Another vote for Anton.  Bruno had become a caricature of himself over the past couple of series.  I want the comments of the judges, not them trying to make themselves the centre of attention.
    The only disappointment when I saw the headline is that it wasn't Motsi getting the boot.

    Apparently Oti Mabuse won't be returning.  Not really a surprise.

    I was also reading the other day that Craig is pushing for a 5 judge panel. He really wants his mate back !
  • Oh heck @AnniD I do hope not, it's so much better without Bruno. 
    Not surprised about Oti  there's been a lot rumours.

    I hope a 5 judge panel is an expense the BBC decides they will forego!

    Pity about Oti but not surprising.  She's won Strictly twice so needs new challenges.   Must admit tho that I didn't like her OTT presenting style when she did other dance shows on the Beeb.  Good luck to her anyway.

  • I think I'd have been more surprised if she hadn't left this year. Strictly is a huge commitment, not just the show but the associated group tours. She's currently a judge on Dancing on Ice, just starting work presenting a show being aired later in the year called Romeo and Duet (a music/dating show), her tour is April-July, she also has a podcast and owns a dance studio. I'm surprised she's got time to breathe. As a two time champion, there's nothing else for her to achieve on Strictly.

    She has also been an occasional presenter on The One Show and other BBC 'chat' style programmes.  I just wish she would take her sister with her.  I really can't stand her on Strictly, she makes Bruno seem shy and retiring.
  • I agree ... not really a surprise, she had nothing left to achieve ... she'll be missed tho' ... I loved watching her dance, and I've a feeling OH will watch less intently without her there ...  ;)

    I don't know how true it is but there are claims that concerns had been raised because she had a higher profile than some of the so called celebs.
