Ire over Dixon 'Dancing' appointment

Professional dancers on 'Strictly Come Dancing' have blasted the decision to appoint Alesha Dixon as a judge.

Many of the experts on the dance contest - which sees them teamed with a celebrity, who they mentor and partner throughout the contest - are furious the singer, who won the show as a contestant in 2007 but has no professional dance experience, has replaced choreographer Arlene Phillips.
