Strictly dancer backs Alesha Dixon for 2010Chris Hollins has been crowned Strictly Come Dancing Champion, and now the cast have given their verdict on the other star of the series.
Despite the controversy surrounding Alesha Dixon's appointment on the judging panel, the singer has won over her audience.
She was brought in after veteran choreographer Arlene Phillips was axed this year.
Her dance partner Matthew Cutler, with whom she won the show in 2007, thinks she was the perfect choice.
"She's really settled in, she's created her own character within the judging panel and I think she's doing a great job," he said.
Cutler is backing Alesha to be brought back for the next series in 2010.
