"Alesha Dixon will replace Arlene Phillips as a judge on this year&amp;#039;s Strictly Come Dancing, say reports. According to The Sun, BBC bosses have axed the 66-year-old choreographer because they want to &amp;quot;inject some youthful glamour&amp;quot; into the panel. Craig Revel Horwood, 44, Bruno Tonioli, 53, and Len Goodman, 65, will all apparently return alongside host Bruce Forsyth, 81. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s nothing personal against Arlene - she&amp;#039;s been brilliant,&amp;quot; said a source. &amp;quot;But the bosses want to bring in younger viewers - the 16- to 34-year-olds that The X Factor mops up.&amp;quot; Speaking about her replacement, the insider said: &amp;quot;Nothing has been signed, but bosses really want Alesha as she has everything they&amp;#039;re looking for. &amp;quot;She also knows a thing or two about dancing. Strictly can feel a bit old fashioned.&amp;quot; Dixon, 30, won the show in 2007 and was described as the &amp;quot;British Beyonc\u00E9&amp;quot; by Forsyth. Producers are also reportedly hoping to recruit more American professional dancers for the new series, which will air in the autumn. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
