Chickendoodle Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Thank goodness. Should have gone a couple of years ago and retired on a high rather than now when he is past his best before date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcountrygirl Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thank goodness - he's done really well but the last series was a bit embarrassing. Wonder who will replace him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thank goodness - he's done really well but the last series was a bit embarrassing. Agreed - it was wince-making last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Agree,poor Brucie he put up a good fight.Hope I'm as good at his age.What about John Barrowman as replacement.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That's funny....I just came here to post the same! Whoever needs to have charm, humor & a background in dance. I would prefer a man. The Barrowman gets my vote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I heard a radio interview with him just after he announced he was standing down where he referred to telling his co-presenter he was leaving as being like a boyfriend breaking up with his girlfriend and my stomach churned He clearly had no idea how creepy that sounded...

chickencam Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd like to see Tess & Claudia presenting it, they make a good double act, otherwise John Barrowman doesn't seem a bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Not sure about John Barrowman myself, but I'd be more than happy with a Tess and Claudia double act. I do like Claudia, she has a good sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Claudia is funny, but her peering out from under her hair, and terrible posture are a bit irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes I agree her heavy fringe needs a jolly good chop but far preferable to Bruce's all-round cringyness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Whoever they get needs to be someone who will actually let the judges speak without butting in with his/her own opinion every few seconds. Anton Du Beke has been mentioned in a few articles. Might be OK? He was actually very good on the cookery show he fronted a while back. John Barrowman would be pretty good as well I think as he is a song and dance man like Bruce. Might get a bit over excited though? Just had a look at one of the articles listing the favourites Graham Norton - I like him but he is maybe a bit over exposed at the moment Vernon Kay - No thanks Matt Baker - now there's an idea. Good presenter, took part in the show and doesn't tell jokes and seems genuinely nice Tess & Claudia combo - Tess doesn't have the personality to front the show for a whole series but Claudia could. Don't think Tess would be happy being usurped by Claudia I hope the producers take the opportunity to refresh the show rather than bring someone in like Terry Wogan or another "elder" presenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ooh, I hadn't considered Anton He might be okay, but I wonder if he might just be a younger version of Bruce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Surely he can't be as irritating......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hmmmm, it would be difficult to be as irritating as Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
