Strictly 's head judge Shirley Ballas has pleaded with BBC bosses to keep Anton Du Beke on the panel when Bruno Tonioli returns to the show.
Anton stood in for Bruno when the pandemic made it difficult for him to fly between the UK and US, where he is on Dancing With The Stars.
Shirley wants Anton to stay on and make it a five-judge panel, with herself, Bruno, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, when the show returns in the autumn.
