How aweful of the BBC, though not too surprising.

We just learn that the stars of Strictly Come Dancing have been banned from speaking out over the Alesha Dixon row.

Just incase you’ve been on the moon the last few weeks, former judge Arlene Phillips was kicked out of the reality dancing show, only to be replaced by the younger and inexperience Alesha Dixon.

The BBC was then faced accusations of ageism by the British public for replacing 66 year old Arlene on the hit dancing show with 30 year old singer Alesha.

The Daily Mail has gotten hold of a document, which BBC bosses sent out to all celebrities, judges, all publicists connected to the show and dancers on the show telling them how to answer questions about Arlene’s departure.

Read the full document entitled Briefing Note For Dancers, Judges And Celebs after the jump.
