Russell Grant Shortlisted For 'Strictly Come Dancing' Judge Role?

Russell Grant Shortlisted For 'Strictly Come Dancing' Judge Role?
Russell Grant is apparently a frontrunner to replace Alesha Dixon on Strictly Come Dancing - meaning, if he is successful, the line-up will be all male.
The astrologer made a big impression on the most recent series of the BBC show, when he partnered with Flavia Cacace.
A source told The Sun: "Russell made a huge impression on Strictly last year - not only with viewers but with bosses too.
"There was a big groundswell in favour of Russell taking over Alesha's judging role, and executives contacted him to see whether he would be up for it and he gave them a resounding yes."

Regarding the possibility of an exclusively male judging table, they added: "There are some concerns that Alesha's replacement should be a woman as an all-male panel would be too lop-sided, but executives will decide on that in the spring."
Earlier this month, Dixon left the show to join the new series of Britain's Got Talent on ITV.
