The dancer, 42, who starred on the BBC series from 2006 to 2015, admitted that the show is becoming 'too nicey nicey.'. She explained how Strictly 'needs a refresh to keep it appealing to audiences' even if that means replacing the panel.

Speaking in an interview with Mecca Bingo, Ola said: 'I feel like Craig's lost his sparkle. People loved Craig for what he was before. 'He would say it as it is, saying he wasn't good, that was rubbish, but it's almost like he's got to say a positive now.

'He’s obviously been told they’ve got to be positive and that they don’t want any negativity in the show and that comes from producers, but they need to look at what the public wants really.

The dancer, 42, who starred on the BBC series from 2006 to 2015, admitted that the show is becoming 'too nicey nicey' (Craig pictured). She added: 'They're all the same every year, so maybe they need a new judge – someone with a bit more spice on the panel. You could even have a different guest judge every week.'.
Craig recently admitted his ‘cutting remarks’ from 20 years ago would be deemed ‘bullying’ now and he’d be cancelled for saying them today. Known for his no-nonsense critiques and sharp tongue, the long-standing Strictly star shared that he has softened his judging approach on the entertainment show.
