Get Well Soon, Bruce ...
Friday, November 13, 2009 at 12:59PM The BBC News website has reported that Bruce Forsyth has flu and doctors have ordered him not to present this weekends Strictly Come Dancing. Tess Daly will take the helm as the main presenter of the show for the night, but no announcement yet on who, if anyone, will take over her role talking to the contestants backstage before the judges scores are announced.
I'd love to see either one of the professional dancers who've been knocked out already this year take on Tess's role backstage - James Jordan would be top of my list after his excellent showing on It Takes Two this week - or perhaps a someone like Karen Hardy or a former contestant could be drafted in - after all, there's always plenty of them in the audience!
I wish Bruce well, but I can't deny, there's quite a division between those who love Bruce and those who would like to see someone else take over the main presenters role, so this could be a very interesting time in the Strictly forums, websites, blogs and messageboards, and I can't wait to check out all the gossip and opinions this weekend!

I will be very disapointed if they decide to put someone like Matt DiAngelo talking to the contestants. I'm hoping it'd be James. He is brilliant, gorgeous and has such a natural posture in front of the cameras.
I love Karen so much! I want her to be Head Judge!
I can't argue with you on any of those points, effy! I'd love to see Karen come back as a judge, I think she's been brilliant on It Takes Two in the Choreography Corner segment and would be perfectly qualified to take on a judging role.
I guess if any of the previous contestants were to take Tess's role tomorrow night, I'd prefer it to be someone with television presenting experience, maybe one of the Jones boys (Gethin or Aled). Unless they draft in Claudia to cover, because she's part of the Strictly family, my guess would be that they would probably go with a male presenter.
Let's hope we find out on tonights It Takes Two who will hold the fort and we can end all the speculation!
