Strictly Come Dancing: Now is the time to find Anton du Beke a serious challenger for the Glitterball Trophy

Like him or loathe him, Anton du Beke is part of the Strictly furniture and always brings something a little different to the BBC dance competition.
So, is it time for the Strictly bosses to pair him with a celebrity that might have a chance of making it past the Blackpool week?
It is usually the case that Anton is partnered with one of the elder celebs on the list, which can often mean that he has someone that might not be at the peak of their dance capabilities.

A lot of people have argued on social media that as the pro, Anton should lift these dance first-timers to a level they never thought capable of.
He is often hindered though by getting a partner that is far behind the curve that he never stands a chance of getting near to winning the Glitterball Trophy.
He's a Strictly legend and needs someone to help showcase his talent
It feels that the series will sorely miss Anton this time around after the judges and viewers alike condemn Susannah Constantine's dancing to the dumper.
Apart from Katie Derham, who proved to be a surprise package, Anton normally has someone so stiff and wooden that a skilled carpenter would struggle to make something decent out of them.
Every now and then his endeavours capture the public's imagination, like the time he dragged Judy Murray deep into the competition.
It is usually the case though that it is a cameo with a few cheery jibes at the judges before a swift goodbye.
For 2019 though, it would be great if the Strictly let Anton loose and let viewers admire the talents he has by pairing him with someone that might have a bit about them.
Viewers may have been upset with his gurning during his Foxtrot with Susannah but there are times when you have to laugh at the situation you find yourself in.
Anton is a Strictly legend and it would be fitting for someone in such a position to be given a chance to showcase his talents.

Anton has tweeted that he's going nowhere, so do the decent thing and stop lumbering him with the 'joke' turn each year.

Celebrity Big Brother: What needs to happen to stop this series being the worst ever

No matter what you think of the antics of Natalie Nunn and Rodrigo Alves, it is safe to say that this series of Celebrity Big Brother has lost two of the biggest characters in the house. The problem that the Channel 5 reality TV series has now is that it could take too long to find its feet again and find fans of the show turning off. Who really wants a house where there is peace and harmony among its residents Natalie was easily the most controversial housemate this time around and her bullying and confrontational style left a lot to be desired. Her behaviour though, is surely what the bosses had paid the money to see. Who really wants a house where there is peace and harmony among its residents.

The question is, who will step up and provid...

Loose Women? Loose morals more like after hypocritical handling of Kim Woodburn

There are many that will think that Kim Woodburn has a lot coming to her, after a fiery Celebrity Big Brother stint and some noticeable public outbursts since. Whilst she is a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to live television, it is clear that she has had a lot to contend with as she battles demons of her own. So, it would seem slightly unfair that the producers would try to exploit her renown temperament in a veiled attempt of serious debate. From the moment the idea was muted of bringing Kim in to face her CBB nemesis Coleen Nolan, for 'clear-the-air' talks, it was probably privately hoped that she would kick-off. All involved with Loose Women must have been rubbing their hands in delight as the drama unfolded and Kim stormed off set, sending social media into a frenzy. It was unfair that producers looked to exploit Kim's temperament It was soon apparent though that this was not the most savoury incident to ever happen on the ITV daytime show. Public opini...

Celebrity Big Brother: Why the 'Banter Notes' should see Jermaine removed from the house

Morality is often low down on the list of priorities for the celebrities that enter the Big Brother house but there are times when the motives of the housemates need to be addressed. The eviction of Chloe Ayling was probably the right choice if this series is going to drag itself off the floor but her treatment by Jermaine Pennant should see the former footballer following her straight out the door. Controversy is what keeps the Channel 5 going and after Natalie Nunn was dumped in the public vote, there was a huge personality gap in the house. This was compounded by Rodrigo's removal, so there was a desperate need for someone to start the tongues wagging. What we didn't need though was Jermaine showing that he could have a bit of adulterous fun, just to brush it off as a bit of banter. After Chloe revealed all to the housemates about why they are on basic food rations and what was written in the secret communications between her and Jermaine, his reaction was more dis...
