Former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan has called for a complete overhaul of the BBC One show's judging panel.

The popular programme has faced mounting challenges in recent months, following the departures of Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima from the professional line-up, concerns regarding Wynne Evans' conduct, and two unnamed celebrities from past series being arrested on suspicion of rape in unconnected cases.

Adding to the upheaval, presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman revealed their decision to leave in a surprising announcement just weeks ago.

Whilst their successors remain unconfirmed, James, who competed on the programme from 2006 to 2013, has advocated for changes to the judging panel as well.
