Former 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge Arlene Phillips has said that she puts her television "on mute" whenever Alesha Dixon comes on.

Singer Dixon replaced Phillips on the judging panel for the show in 2009.

Speaking to The Sun, Phillips said: "I genuinely don't want to talk about Alesha. I write my own 'Strictly' column… so I have to concentrate on my own judging and expertise."

She added: "Whenever Alesha starts judging, I have to put her on mute."

Phillips is now a judge on 'So You Think You Can Dance'.
