Louis Walsh has claimed that Strictly Come Dancing bosses have made a “massive mistake” in sacking judge Arlene Phillips.

“They’ve made a massive mistake sacking Arlene. She knows more about dancing than anyone else,” he told The Mirror.

The X Factor judge says that Arlene’s departure may actually win viewers for his ITV show, he insists that the XF judges are not worried by the move.

“They think it’s funny that Strictly brought in Alesha to attract younger viewers,” said a source. “Most young people aren’t drawn to ballroom dancing. Nothing will change that.”

Hot Gossip shot to fame in the 70s following appearances on The Kenny Everett Video Show and Top of the Pops. Their biggest selling hit was ‘I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper’ which featured vocals from opera diva Sarah Brightman.

Apparently, Simon Cowell’s pet popstar Sinitta also stood in as a “ghost vocalist” on a few of their pop songs.

I would think that the members of Hot Gossip are now getting about with the help of Zimmer frames and false hips though, so it remains to be seen if they’ll still be Hot Gossip or A Chat By A Warm Fire sort of a group.

As a solo artist, Heather performed Proud when Britain won the Olympic bid.

Heather says: “I occasionally suffer from stage fright and, if left to my own devices, I would probably say no to anything scary.

“However, everyone said I should give it a go, so I thought, why not? I just hope my nerves don’t get the better of me.”
