Many of you as shocked that Alesha Dixon looks set to be the new judge on Strictly Come Dancing when Arlene Phillips gets the boot, but now some MP’s are sticking their oar in the fracas too!
MP Harriet Harman has accused the BBC of ageism (come on!) after our favourite judge, 66-year-old Arlene was replaced with singer Alesha Dixon, who at 30, is half her age.
So now Ms Harman has demanded that Arlene is reinstated as a judge and even told the House Of Commons yesterday; “I think it’s absolutely shocking that Arlene Phillips is not going to be a judge on Strictly Come Dancing. And as Equality Minister, I am suspicious that there is age discrimination there.
“So I’d like to take this opportunity of telling the BBC – it is not too late, we want Arlene Phillips in the next edition of Strictly.” Crikey.
But does anyone else think that there are far more important issues that the House Of Commons should be mulling over at the moment?
