Strictly Come Dancing 2018: ‘Who needs him?’ Zoe Ball takes shock SWIPE at judge

Strictly Come Dancing will be a little different this evening as Alfonso Ribeiro steps in for Bruno Tonioli. 

The stalwart judge is stepping aside to fulfil other work requirements and as such, the Fresh Prince star will take his seat.

And on last night’s It Takes Two, host Zoe Ball set to discussing the newcomer. 

In a chat with Susan Calman, Tom Read Wilson and Gabrielle assessed the dancers.

The team discussed the current dancers 

Zoe giggled how they could “be judges next year”. 

And former Strictly Come Dancing star, Susan, admitted she would love to “step in”. 

Zoe giggled: “Who needs Alfonso?”

But she probably wasn’t expecting a murmur from the audience who were quick to air their views. 

She defended: “Only joking, I love him!

“Don’t tell him – I’ll be off the Christmas card list next year.”

Alfonso also appeared on It Takes Two last night to discuss how he will be taking his role. 

The Dancing with the Stars winner told Gethin Jones: “I’m going to speak from the heart. 

“I’m not going to rhyme. There’s not going to be a lot of arms flailing… Look [Bruno] is Italian…

“I get it. He speaks with his hands! I’m a brother from America so I’ donna be kinda chill.”

Alfonso added: “I’m going to be a happy judge. 

“I know that sometimes there are some judges that want to knock everybody down… There’s no specific name we’re talking about! 

“I would talk about the judges on the US version. I want to lift them up.”

This comes as Katya Jones and Neil Jones will be kept apart in their group routine again following the Seann Walsh kiss fall-out. 

Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight on BBC One at 6.45pm.
