"My TV idol is Oprah. I love Oprah and want to be her. I'd love to do a show like hers. I'm making a documentary this year about absent fathers, which will be hard hitting." Of where she feels she'll be in a decade: "I'll be 40, so maybe I'll be drowning my sorrows with a bottle of vodka! Only joking. I'd like to still be working but be more chilled out. I pray to God that I'll be in a good place and that I'll be optimistic about turning 50. And I like to think I'll have a family."

Well, if you are still working at 50 you might find yourself being ousted by someone a few decades your junior - much like Strictly Come Dancing's Arlene Philips. For those who don't know, professional choreographer Arlene's been dropped by the show in favour of Alesha, the one time rapper from Mystique.

BBC1 controller, Jay Hunt, said: "What's happened with Strictly is about refreshing that brand." Why not replace one of the three male judges with younger models then, Hunt? While you're at it, why not replace Tess Daly, she's in her late thirties and WELL passed her sell by - you'll need some fresh young female flesh pressed up against Bruce Forsyth (81) to keep his bones upright.

According to The Guardian: "When asked why Phillips was dropped and not one of the male judges - 65-year-old Len Goodman, 53-year-old Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood, 44, Hunt replied: 'It was not an easy decision to take. When I looked at the four people we had, Bruno is the joker, Craig is the Simon Cowell of the show and Len is the head judge. Arlene has elements of all of them, but when you look at it, Arlene was the obvious one to change'."

Um, no, sorry - still confused. Surely if Arlene had elements of all three, she should be cherished for being a balanced judge, not to mention exceptionally articulate and a cracking example of the foxy older lady.
