Fame Acadmey judge, Richard Parks, has admitted that he wishes the BBC would get rid of Patrick Kielty and he has suggested Fame Academy hopeful Fred MacAulay to take his place.

Richard said: “If we can find someone who has performed in it like Fred, and if he’s risen to the occasion and people have seen his personality, why not make the change?

“Fred has every chance of presenting Fame Academy.

“So let’s see how he does on the show because who knows what the opportunities might be.”

On the departure of Cat Deeley from the show he commented “Unfortunately Cat Deeley can’t be involved because of US commitments (she’s replaced by Claudia Winkleman) and in my view they lost the wrong one.” Meow!
