Arlene Phillips 'may snub One Show deal'

Axed Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips may snub the BBC's offer of work on The One Show, a report has claimed.

The 66-year-old choreographer was unveiled as the programme's new Strictly expert last month after being dropped from the main show in favour of popstar Alesha Dixon, 30.

Phillips had been expected to appear for regular interviews with main hosts Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, offering her insight into the weekly performances.

However, a source told the News Of The World: "Arlene has made no commitment to the BBC. They've been desperate to sign her up to do a Strictly commentary spot on The One Show and Breakfast.

"But she's considering her future and a lot of new TV offers - including ITV shows - that have been flooding in now people know she's back on the market."

The insider added: "At the time she agreed in principle to do The One Show but she hasn't agreed any deal and right now everyone else wants her, too. She's going to have to consider a lot."

Yesterday, it was revealed that Phillips is in talks for a new judging role on GMTV's talent search The No.1 Family.
