Chelsee On Judge Shortlist?
According to the Daily Mirror, Chelsee Healey is on a list of potential new Strictly judges, and has already been informally approached.
A source told the paper: “BBC bosses have a shortlist of about eight names and Chelsee is one of them. She would do really well with younger viewers and help bring in a new demographic. As a successful past contestant – like Alesha was – Chelsee will understand exactly what the celebs are going through and bring with her that empathy. Bosses have already sounded Chelsee out but Nancy [Dell'Olio] has her heart set on the role... She believes people stopped watching when she was booted off and thinks her sense of fun and unique personality are just what Strictly Come Dancing needs. Nancy has invited [outgoing Strictly executive producer] Moira [Ross] for lunch at The Ivy in London – her favourite haunt – in an effort to convince producers she is the one they want.”
Nancy continues to be a deluded soul. I often think she just says things so that she will get written about in the papers.
Chelsee is the wrong choice in my mind. I was never a fan of Alesha on the panel as I didn't think she really added anything (the whole "I've been there" thing doesn't wash for me). At least Alesha had the 'qualification' of being a Strictly champion, which Chelsee does not. Chelsee has been a great participant and is a lovely dancer, but I don't think she's right for the panel. The other judges would eat her alive. You need strength - especially if you are a woman among three men. Alesha never really found that until the most recent series.
If producers want a young female on the panel, Kara Tointon would be a better choice, since she was a Strictly champion like Alesha. But this would cause a conflict of interest if Artem is still a professional dancer on the show in 2012. They have been a couple for over a year.
