29/06/2009 - 10:21
Arlene Phillips has said she 'can't imagine someone else sitting in my chair' on the Strictly Come Dancing panel.
Speaking to Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs she said: "I see it as my chair, but the show belongs to the BBC and they can and will do whatever they wish with the show."
In an interview recorded before reports that Arlene will be replaced when the show returns to our screens in the autumn, she acknowledged she would be replaced eventually.
"When that happens and I'm sure it will happen at some point I have got so many other things going on in my life.
"I can't imagine someone else sitting in my chair, but life will go on."
Singer Alesha Dixon, who won the pro-celebrity dance competition in 2008, is rumoured to be taking Arlene's place on the next series.
