Strictly star 'wants to replace BBC boss Tim Davie' as they make bombshell quip

Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix has joked about potentially "replacing" Tim Davie after he resigned from his role at the BBC on Sunday. It comes after Donald Trump threatened to sue the BBC for $ 1 billion, following accusations that the broadcaster had "misled" viewers by splicing together parts of a speech made by the US President. Both BBC director-general Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness resigned as a result of the accusations. In his resignation letter, Tim Davie said the decision was "entirely" his own and took "ultimate responsibility" for the mistakes made under his leadership.

Speaking on the spin-off show It Takes Two, La Voix was quizzed by host Fleur East about getting an exclusive, saying: "So far, you've done Claudia's job, you've done Tess' job, you've done a director's job - what's in store for this weekend?"

La Voix jokingly replied with: "Well then, there are some bigger jobs that have just become available at the BBC beyond Strictly, so she's got her eye on progammes beyond that quite frankly." Meanwhile, their partner Alja Škorjanec struggled to stop laughing.
