Sunday Supplement: Shake up for Strictly?

News reports that there will be a shake up of the judges for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing have been met with mixed reactions by those involved.

Head Judge Len Goodman is convinced it's just being put about by insiders at the corporation, prior to them hitting the judges with a 50% pay cut. Arlene, however, is said to be furious at the prefix of "frail and elderly Arlene" that is appearing on all her BBC press releases, especially amid rumours that she has been axed in favour of the "young and nubile Alesha Dixon", in order to capture the X-Factor viewers. This has so far been uncomfirmed by the pop princess, who did confirm however, that she is indeed, young and nubile and that Arlene is a bit crabby.

Arlene, taking her cue from pop singer Pink, has apparently offered to bungee jump with silk scarves at the start of each show but this was met with a firm "Er, no thanks" by the production team, who felt that Sharon Osbourne had that particular area covered.

One the insiders alluded to by Len, did speak to us from behind a pot plant in the grounds outside the canteen. "They're worried - with X-Factor upping the spectacle and having two dolly birds amongst them, Craig and Bruno know it's only a mater of time before they'll be expected to get their kit off."
