Re: New Judge.

Hi Rhos I haven't hear of Shirley Ballas either it seems she is a Latin specialist.
I am surprised they are making her head judge I thought that position might have gone to Darcey Bussell.

I haven't heard of Shirley Ballas either, I hope she settles in well with the team

Re: New Judge.

I'm a bit disappointed I was hoping a bit of a shuffle around and slot someone in where darcy sat so they could learn the ropes as it were. Or Anton would have made a good head judge he's kind and can make constructive but humourous comments.

Re: New Judge.

Yes, I like Darcy too, Meg.
Mind you, for all we know, maybe the others were offered the job but didn't want it.

I hope it works out because it is such an enjoyable show, and it would be such a pity if the changes spoilt it all.

Anton has his work cut out looking after his new twins

Re: New Judge.

Len Goodman speaks well of Shirley Ballas, he says she has wonderful feet.

SB coaches lots of professional dancers, I think she will be tough on contestants.

Re: New Judge.

I haven't heard of her either but at least she knows what she is talking about and will be able to give good advice (If Bruno gives her the chance to get a word in that is).

He's so funny though he would have been great !
