Former Strictly Come Dancing competitor Lisa Snowdon says that the BBC show on’t be the same without judge, Arlene Phillips.

Arlene was sacked from the show earlier this summer and replaced by Alesha Dixon, Lisa says she will miss Arlene and ln’s bickering most.

Lisa old The Sun: “I’m interested to see how it changes the dynamic of the panel.

“I loved Len rolling his eyes at Arlene in his grouchy way. I’ll miss that.”

Strictly Come Dancing runner up has revealed that she was upset by press claims that she had said Tom Chambers shouldn’t have won the show.

In an interview with Take 5 magazine, she insisted: “That really upset me – I didn’t say he shouldn’t have won. We’re all friends and spent four months together. Yes, it was a competition but we didn’t go over the top with it.”

Although Snowdon’s performances with professional partner, Brendan Cole achieved high scores from the judges, the pair found themselves in the bottom two more than a few times.

Asked how she coped with the lack of public support, she explained: “I did feel a bit vulnerable. Obviously I knew that’s the way the show works, and that some people might not know who I was. I don’t have an existing fanbase like some of the others. But it did test me.”

Austin Healy has left Strictly Come Dancing and failed to make it through to the semi final of the show.

This has been a bit of a shocker as until this week Austin was one of those tipped to win the show, however last night he lost out on his ballroom number and ended up at the bottom of the leader board.

Austin ended up in the bottom two with Lisa Snowdon. I am surprised the judges saved Lisa as it is hardly the first time the public have put her in this position.

Healey spoke of his “amazing partner” Erin Boag after going out.

He also praised his wife, who he said had raised their four daughters alone whilst he was away working on Strictly, and thanked the programme for “giving me the chance to be in something so amazing”.

Capital Radio DJ, Lisa Snowdon has said that she would have been happy to lose to John Sergeant had he not left the show last month.

“I wouldn’t have minded if John had beaten me,” she told Metro. “Not at all. It’s an entertainment show and popularity counts.

“The dancing is only 50% of the show, the public is the other half. We can’t control how much viewers like us.”

Strictly Come Dancing competitor, Lisa Snowdon has said that she thinks she will be next for the axe as she has failed to rally enough public support.

Lisa and dance partner Brendan Cole have been in the bottom two twcie now and have been saved by the judges both times. However The Sun claims that Lisa thinks her time is running out and fears that she is not popular enough to win the show.

At the minute the pair are rehearsing the Cha Cha Cha which they will perform along with another dance this Saturday.

After Lisa Snowdon claimed today that John Sergeant was adored by his fellow competitors on Strictly Come Dancing, The Daily Mail has claimed that he was in fact detested by the lot of them.

John quit the show this week after claiming that he didn’t think it would be fair on the other dancers if he won, but other sources suggest that his decision was actually made because of the bad atmosphere between the celebrities backstage.

An insider told the Daily Mail: "John knew he had to walk out before he was completely destroyed. He has put a brave face on it but he has been made aware of just how loathed he has become on the show.

"In public, everyone on Strictly makes out how much they love him, but in reality you are dealing with some very fragile egos. They are jealous of him because he has managed effortlessly to win over the public. Some people on the show can’t forgive him for that.

"Naturally, Cherie was devastated to be knocked out, but some of the professionals seemed to take up her cause personally and were distinctly chilly around John after the show," the source added. "I think that was the point when John decided enough was enough."

Strictly Come Dancing competitor, Lisa Snowdon has revealed that she tried to get John Sergeant to stay on the show.

John quit earlier this week after he realised that he might just win over some of the more talented dancers. But Lisa revealed that John was well loved by his fellow dancers, who wanted him to continue.

"I left this long rambling message on his answerphone, but it turned out that he’d already made his mind up. I was stunned. I’m really sad to lose him, we all are," Snowdon told The Sun.

"John was brilliant because in the midst of all of us doing our dance routines, he comes along and entertains us. It’s fantastic – and that’s what people want to see on TV."

At the start of this years series of Strictly Come Dancing, if you had asked me who Lisa Snowdon would have got it on with I would have put money on it being Brendan Cole. However The Sun has reported that Lisa was spotted snogging the face off pint sized American dance expert Brian Fortuna, at Mark Fosters leaving party in a London club.

A source said: “Brian says he loves Britain and wants to meet a British girl.

“Everyone was talking about their kiss a few weeks ago. All the dancers were tanked up on vodka and having a great laugh.

“Brian’s made it no secret that he fancies Lisa. He was in the studio on Saturday night cheering for her.

“We’re not so sure that Lisa has quite the same feelings for him, though. But it’s always nice to have a little flirting on set.”

Celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay has admitted that he fancies Strictly Come Dancing competitior, Lisa Snowdon.

Speaking on Capital Radio’s breakfast show Ramsay revealed:

“Lisa is absolutely amazing! We’re voting for her. That dress she wore was beautiful.

“She had so much grace and elegance like a swan gliding across the pond. Beautiful.”

The chef even offered to do a dance of sorts with the former model saying: “I can’t dance with size 15 feet unless Lisa wants to stand on top of them and I’ll shuffle along.”

Lisa Snowdon is said to have spent most of this week in floods of tears, as the pressure of being on Strictly Come Dancing starts to take its toll.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lisa is getting up at about 4am every day to do her Capital Radio breakfast show.

“Then she’s spending hours training with Brendan, who’s a harsh taskmaster.

“It all got too much for her — she started crying while the cameras were filming the group dance rehearsals this week.

“She had to leave the studio and get away from the cameras.

“Lisa is just frustrated that she won’t be able to get the dance in time. She’s finding it hard to pick up the steps.

“She’s doing the American Smooth on Saturday and it’s very tricky.”

This couldn’t be helped by the fact that Brendan Cole NEVER seems happy with the pairs results each week. Two weeks ago he stormed off after receiving average comments from the judges and last week he was happy with their comments but furious with their scores.

If I was Lisa I would be walking on eggshells too!
