Arlene Phillips may have been sacked from the judging panel of Strictly Come Dancing, but the 66 year old has landed a new job already. Arlene will join Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley on the panel of The One Show, as the show’s Strictly expert.

BBC confirmed today that Arlene would be replaced on Strictly by former winner Alesha Dixon and expert Darcey Bussell.

“Arlene played a vital role in making Strictly a hit and I would like to thank her for all her work on the show,” said BBC One controller Jay Hunt.

“I am delighted she is now forging a new relationship with BBC One by joining the highly-successful One Show team.”

Speaking about her move, Phillips said: “I am delighted to be part of The One Show. I will miss Strictly. It has been a big part of my life for six years.”
