WAG and former singer Louise Redknapp, has reportedly been signed as a third judge on BBC’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’
Louise performed many dance routines when she sang with Eternal and later, in her own solo career.
She will join former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips and Nasty Nigel Lythgoe on the panel, whilst Cat Deeley will return to the UK to present the show.
Graham Norton has admitted that he is confused by the BBC’s decision to buy the rights for Nigel Lythgoe’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’
Norton claims that the format Lyhtgoe’s show is almost identical to an old BBC show, Strictly Dance Fever, which he fronted for BBC One in 2005 and 2006.
Norton told The Mirror: “I don’t understand why they’ve bought that format from Nigel Lythgoe, when it was a rip-off, sorry, inspired by the Beeb’s Strictly Dance Fever.
Cat Deeley is coming to BBC One to host So You Think You Can Dance this January. Now presenting her fifth season of the hugely successful series in the US, she returns with Nigel Lythgoe to present the award-winning format for the first time in Britain.
Originally known as the host of SMTV: live, double-BAFTA award-winning Cat has since carved out an enviable transatlantic career including being Jay Leno’s first regular entertainment correspondent on the Tonight Show and subsequently performing the same role for Good Morning America.
So You Think You Can Dance boss Nigel Lythgoe has been singing the praises of his new colleague Arlene Phillips.
The former Popstars judge has forged an amazing career for himself in America, in shows like American Idol and SYTYCD and is now coming back to the UK to continue his TV reign.
Speaking of his decision to hire Arlene Phillips as a judge for the UK version of ‘So You Think You Can Dance‘, Nigel told The Sun:
“I’ve known Arlene for 100 years. We grew up together.
After being dropped from the Strictly Come Dancing panel, it seems that Arlene Phillips has landed another lucrative contract. She has been signed as a judge on the BBC’s new version of ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’
Heading the new judging panel will be former Pop Idol judge, Nigel Lythgoe, who created the American version of the show.
Lythgoe said: “I began my career as a dancer on the BBC in the sixties. Now, I’m back as a judge of dancers – I believe I’ve made a full circle back to television’s home of dance here at the BBC.
Nigel Lythgoe is returning to British shores to find the nation’s hottest dancing talent on BBC One with the award-winning So You Think You Can Dance.
Fresh from five seasons of the hit show in the US, Lythgoe will take up his position as head judge on a panel of industry experts who will select finalists to compete for the title of Britain’s Favourite Dancer this January.
Nigel Lythgoe is said to have approached former American Idol judge Paula Abdul about joining rival TV show, So You Think You Can Dance.
At a Fox press conference Nigel was asked if he would like Paula for the show. He responded:
Katie Holmes is back and she is one hot mama! She performed Judy Garland’s classic “Get Happy” on the 100th episode of “So You Think You Can Dance” last night.

Quick-stepping onto LIVING this week is the latest instalment of the smash hit American dance contest So You Think You Can Dance. Hosted by Britain’s very own Cat Deeley (CD:UK, Stars in Their Eyes), this exclusive show sees 20 finalists battle it out to win the huge prize of $250,000 and the much-coveted title of ‘America’s Favourite Dancer’. Deciding which of the contestants are hot to trot and which are not are Nigel Lythgoe (Popstars) and choreographer Mary Murphy, with guest judge and choreographer to *NSYNC and Britney Spears Wade Robson joining them this week.
The first couple to take to the floor this week are Sabra and Dominic (both pictured), who complete a funky jive number. Their energetic routine ends with Sabra doing the splits while perched on Dominic’s shoulders, but while Nigel thinks they dance together better than any other pair, Mary has a few words of criticism. Later, Sara and Pasha perform a steamy jazz routine to Queen’s ‘Body Language’, while Anya and Danny tackle the foxtrot. With Anya still nursing a foot injury sustained last week, how will the pair get on with this trickiest of dances? Read more & comment »
