Strictly Come Dancing star Frankie Bridge throws her hat into the ring for Len Goodman’s job
The singer would love a place at the judging table on the BBC dancing show
SINGER Frankie Bridge has admitted she’d jump at the chance to take Len Goodman’s place on the Strictly Come Dancing panel although she admits she wouldn’t know where to begin.
The stunning Saturdays star was a runner up in the final of the BBC One dancing show in 2014.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online about who she’d like to get the Strictly judging job, Frankie says: “I think it should be me!
“Imagine me sitting there, ‘Oh, you’ve turned your toe in there.’ I don’t know what I’m talking about.”
The mum-of-two does know that whoever takes Len’s job when he retires at the end of this series has a big job ahead of them.
Frankie says: “I’m devastated Len’s leaving.
“I think whoever fills Len’s boots will have a hard job, they’ll be given a hard time.
He’s going to be missed but I don’t blame him. He goes backwards and forwards to America to do the US version and stuff.”
Frankie’s former partner, Kevin Clifton, is paired with her friend Louise and she’s been watching the couple avidly since the launch show.
She explains: “Obviously I’m rooting for Kevin and I know Louise as well.
“I was part of the ‘you have to do it, you have to do it’ crowd and then they got paired together – it’s perfect me for I still get to cling on.
“Louise is so good but she’s always really nervous. She’s not overly confident so it’s going to be amazing for her and she’s got the best partner.
“Kevin is amazing, even when you think you can’t do something he’ll make it fun. He’s not like a taskmaster but you always get there in the end.”
Frankie was speaking to The Sun Online at the #FeelSuper Salon Launch to celebrate Superdrug and P&G’s campaign supporting Marie Curie.
Until 18 October, at Superdrug each time you buy from selected P&G products including brands such as Olay, Gillette, Oral-B and Max Factor, you’ll trigger a donation to Marie Curie.
The cause is something close to Frankie’s heart.
She explains: “In the past with the Saturdays we did lot with Marie Curie, I’ve been around the hospitals and met a lot of the nurses and I can see where the money goes.
“I’ve known people with terminal illnesses and I’ve known people Marie Curie have helped, it’s the little things that they do.
“It’s a hard job, going into someone’s home at that time in people’s lives must be really difficult – I don’t think many people could do what these nurses do. They stay so upbeat and so lovely and they work throughout the night.
“Last time we went out to raise £100,000 and we made over £200,000 – that’s the equivalent of 10 nurses for a year.
“This year we want to do even better than that!”
