Horrocks Supports Team Arlene

Jane Horrocks has expressed her displeasure at the loss of Arlene Phillips from Strictly Come Dancing.

She told the Press Association: "She's sort of part of it, it's a bit like Blind Date without Cilla Black. It's sort of weird because she is so much part of that show, and so I think when you take any element out of a show it will change inevitably."

Of course, producers never tried to do Blind Date without Cilla...

Horrocks has no interest in participating in Strictly herself, though: "I like watching. I think ballroom dancing is fascinating to watch and they do actually progress massively when they're on that show."
