The second episode of BBC One’s The Magicians aired on Saturday, 14th January, with another fantastic and dazzling show.
Presented by Darren McMullen, the second of six episodes saw magical duo Barry and Stuart paired with Strictly Come Dancing judge, Craig Revel-Horwood. Their live trick included Craig having his head chopped off in a guillotine – certainly not a trick to try at home.
After it was announced that Alesha Dixon was leaving Strictly Come Dancing, and taking a spot on the Britain’s Got Talent judging panel, many names have been suggested as her new replacement.
Firstly fans started campaigning for the return of Arlene Phillips – who was sacked and replaced by Dixon back in 2010 – and then some suggested that either Chelsee Healy or Nancy Dell’Olio would be next in the hot seat.
However bookies have predicted that the new Strictly judge may in fact be former contestant Russell Grant.
After it was revealed that Alesha Dixon was jumping ship and would not be appearing on this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing, bosses quickly started looking for a new star to fill the role.
The ‘Man Does Nothing’ hitmaker has defected from the BBC dance show, to the judging panel of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent and will begin auditions for the new series later this month.
The Mirror reports that producers have already approached Chelsee Healey about taking Dixon’s seat at the judges’ table, after she shot to fame on the 2011 series of the show, finishing in second place behind Harry Judd last month.
Arlene Phillips has admitted that she has been ‘overwhelmed’ by fans support for here to return to Strictly Come Dancing.
ITV confirmed this morning that Alesha Dixon would be joining the judging panel of Britain’s Got Talent this year and BBC confirmed that the former Mystique singer had bowed out of Strictly.
Alesha Dixon is shedding her good girl image, by revealing that she has had sex in a variety of places that were not her own bedroom.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge admitted that she has previously romped in both cars and the toilets of a posh London club, during an appearance on Alan Carr’s New Year TV show.
In the quiz, celebrities were asked:

Richard Halliwell, commercial brand director of Strictly Come Dancing, said: “The Strictly brand is very well suited to an ocean cruise given the heady mixture of elegance, romance, high-class entertainment and exhilarating international ports of call.
BBC bosses are reportedly keen to have Bruce Forsyth back for the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The TV veteran will be 84 by the time next year’s series comes along, but producers think he is part of the reason that so many millions of people tune in to watch the celebrity dance extravaganza each weekend and are keen for him to remain on the presenting team.
Russell Grant will get to share Christmas dinner with Gordon Ramsay and his family this year, after agreeing to appear on his festive cookalong show.
The Strictly Come Dancing star will join the celebrity chef, as he takes over Channel 4 between 10am and 2pm on Christmas Day and teaches viewers how to cook the perfect Christmas dinner.

The hunky drummer won Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night and revealed that he thinks he was helped by his sobriety and clear head in his dance experience.
Craig Revel Horwood has admitted that he recently had breast reduction surgery.
