Strictly Come Dancing's Arlene Phillips has hit out at this year's finalists, saying none of them are as good as last year's winner Alesha Dixon.
The judge said that, despite being a good dancer, Rachel Stevens isn't a 'bubbly, bouncy girl' like Alesha and she accused bookies' favourite Tom Chambers of 'over-acting', reports The Sun.
Arlene said: "What's odd about Tom is, one would think, because he's an actor, he would know how to portray a dance.
"But we can see him acting the role and that's off-putting."
She added that Lisa Snowdon was the most likeable out of the final three but admitted that she would have preferred to see Austin Healey, who was voted out several weeks ago, win the series.
What do you think of Arlene's comments? Do you think this year's finalists match up to last year's winner Alesha? Let us know what you think...

Posted by: geoffdeane on Fri Dec 19 12:39PM | Report abuseI am sick and tired of these Strctly Come Dancing judges behaving like mardy teenagers on the live broadcasts and then mouthing off during the week. If it weren't for the contestants I certainly wouldn't watch the show. Have they no appreciation of just what an effort both the contestants and their professional partners have put in over the weeks. They - the dancers - deserve better than these loud-mouthed judges.
