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: burgess_guy on Fri Dec 19 12:52PM | Report abuseShe's just another of televisions many self opinionated prats, if she's so good why isn't she doing it. It's really about time she gave up and took the rest of the overpaid and over the hill crew with her. Forsyth should retire as well, he's well past it.
