Alesha Dixon has once again hinted that she is going to quit BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. I don’t know. After all that fuss surrounding ageism, you would have thought she would have stuck it out for a while wouldn’t you? Arlene would have stayed in that job for life… mostly because nowhere else really lets her do those staggeringly bad puns/streams of consciousness.

Apparently, Alesha is saying that her focus is shifting back to her music career.

Dixon told The Mirror: “I’m starting the album from scratch this week, including writing and recording everything. It’s all I’m thinking about. That’s what I’m concentrating on.

“I can’t say when it’ll be finished, it can take anything from six months to a year… I’m aiming to get my first single out in the summer.”

However, when asked about the TV gig, Dixon’s manager said: “Strictly was so last year.”

Last November, Dixon stirred rumours that she would be quitting the programme, saying: “I’d like to [return as a judge in 2010], but there’s talk of me going to America to promote my album, so I’ll take each day as it comes.”

Fellow judge Len Goodman has also said that he would not be surprised if Dixon leaves the show.

Flaky git.
