Ooh I agree Mrsemcgregor!! I thought he was really good!

Matthew Cutler?
Ian Waite?

SO sad that Darcey is leaving. It was one of the highlights - seeing her glide on in some beautiful dress!!

CallSignCharlie · 10/04/2019 18:56

Either Karen Hardy or Anton would be great

twilightcafe · 10/04/2019 18:59

Karen Hardy would be the better choice.
She's a better all-rounder than Anton. His ballroom is sublime, but his Latin is much weaker.

ForalltheSaints · 10/04/2019 19:00

Someone with a knowledge from dance as a professional not some 'celebrity' former contestant please.

Good luck to Dame Darcey in whatever she does in future.

GrouchyKiwi · 10/04/2019 19:13

I'd like Natalie Lowe to do it. She's so supportive and lovely but has good constructive criticism.

And I want Bruno to be replaced by Brendan for the Shirley dynamic.

ChicCroissant · 10/04/2019 19:15

I will miss Darcey, and would like another ballroom dancer as the next judge - most of the ones already mentioned would be fab!

Petalflowers · 10/04/2019 19:17

I agree with Cora, Matthew or Iain.

LizzieSiddal · 10/04/2019 19:19

Whoever it is, I hope it’s a woman.

nooddsocksforme · 10/04/2019 19:20

As long as it’s someone from a dance background- not just chosen for their looks. I agree that Bruno should go - he’s so irritating

Clawdy · 10/04/2019 19:21

Surely it has to be a woman, they won't have three male judges. Haven't a clue who could replace her, think people will want someone reasonably well-known and popular. Shirley B hasn't exactly been a great success.

IvanaPee · 10/04/2019 19:24

I despise Shirley so hope it’s someone who hates her! 😂

Holidayshopping · 10/04/2019 19:24

Someone with a knowledge from dance as a professional not some 'celebrity' former contestant please.

Exactly-let’s hope it’s not another Alesha Hmm.

Ian Waite
Karen Hardy
Ola Jordan
Darren Bennett

Hollowvictory · 10/04/2019 19:27

All 9f these names were mooted before Shirley joined I think they're seen as a bit old hat. So I think it will be someone new to the show

Pianobook · 10/04/2019 19:28

I hope it’s not Anton. He thinks he’s funny but he’s often not.

I like Shirley and it’s good to have someone who knows their stuff so a ballroom person would be best.

billysboy · 10/04/2019 19:30

lets hope its not that old dog Ola

Any lady would be welcome and Natalie Lowe would be my choice

Time Bruno knobbed off

CatsCatsCatsCatsCats1980 · 10/04/2019 19:56

Yes Alfonzo Smile

Blompitude · 10/04/2019 20:14

Flavia?

Blompitude · 10/04/2019 20:15

Or Alyona

ChicCroissant · 10/04/2019 21:20

Anya Garnis, who was briefly on the show would be good, Camilla Dallerup or Iveta. Camilla does the NZ version though, I think.

Some of the others who would be good already do other versions of the show (as judges). I would like Karen, Erin, Ian, Matthew or Anton - I wonder if they would ask Kristina?

I would not like Brendan (doesn't he do another version already?) as he does have a habit of falling out with people and I am already weary of any claims that the judges have favourites/haterz. Not the Jordans either (same reasons).

ChoccyJules · 11/04/2019 23:22

Alfonzo was fun but I assume he was a previous Cleb winner like Alesha?

Brenda won’t get the gig while Shirl is still there. Bad blood.

I agree Bruno has worn out his welcome. Many seasons ago...

For me, Erin or Natalie would be great to replace Darcey. To replace Bruno I think Ian Waite, given Zoe has left ITT.

Last season I must admit I occasionally wanted to burn the desk and just get a throne for Craig. Job done.

LindsayDentonsFringe · 11/04/2019 23:27

Anyone but Anton. I’m sure he knows his stuff but I have no confidence at all that he’d be able to give sensible criticism without making it All About How Hilariously Funny Anton Is. A little of his shtick goes a long way.

findingmyfeet12 · 11/04/2019 23:29

Anyone but Anton.

He's so unfunny it makes me cringe. He thinks far too much of himself.

Iain and Karen were both lovely.

billysboy · 12/04/2019 08:08

Who is going to take Zoe s place on ITT ?

Hollowvictory · 12/04/2019 08:12

Billy it's not been announced zoe is leaving yet

Whoops75 · 12/04/2019 08:14

I would love if it was Karen Hardy

AntonBrendanAlfonzo all a big NO from me

Hadn’t heard Zoe was going Sad
