Dame Arlene Phillips has said she misses judging on Strictly Come Dancing as she praised this year’s contestants, saying “every one of those people can come up”.
The choreographer, 79, said on the red carpet for the National Television Awards at London’s OVO Arena Wembley that she is particularly a fan of actor Will Mellor, who is paired with Nancy Xu on the dance competition.
Asked whether she missed the show, she said: “Oh, I do. I love that show. At the moment there is so many people I love but I like Will Mellor, I think he’s pushing it. And I feel this year no one knows who’s going to win. Every one of those people can come up, there is so many exciting people in the show.”
