Arlene Phillips has said that the Strictly Come Dancing judges were right to get rid of Jo Wood, on Saturday night’s show.
Phillips told The Sun: “She just has no idea what to do with her legs. Brendan [Cole] looked like he was moving a plank of wood, not a body. All I could think was the clocks have gone back and so has Jo.”
The choreographer continued: “She can’t work out her right from her left. She has no understanding or awareness of it. It is often something that goes back to childhood.
