I'm Katie Hind, the Mail's Consultant Editor Showbusiness. And each week in the Spotlight newsletter, I pull the curtain back to tell you what's REALLY going on in the world of celebrity.

This week, I share my advice for the BBC if it wants to save Strictly's reputation. The show has shed millions of viewers since Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman quit, and behind the scenes, bosses know something has to change.

Sources tell me they have acknowledged Josh Widdicombe is a national laughing stock and Johannes Radebe needs much more help as a presenter. 

But I know what they really need to do to mend the show and bring back the Strictly we all love. To read my four crucial tips to keep the glitterball spinning, sign up to the Spotlight newsletter HERE and get it in your inbox on Tuesday.

 Each week, I and the Daily Mail showbiz team will send you the backstage gossip from the red carpet, inside the parties... and everything the stars DON'T want you to know.

Plus, we will share exclusive insights, celebrity gossip and all the best scoops so you never miss a story.
