Strictly fans have begged BBC bosses to make Alfonso Ribeiro a permanent part of the show.

The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air actor filled in this week for judge Bruno Tonioli, who was forced to miss this weekendโ€™s shows due to other commitments.

The actor, who played Carlton in the series, was a huge hit when he filled in for Tonioli last year and did not disappoint on his return.

Viewers now want the actor to be a permanent member of the panel alongside Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas.

โ€œAlfonso forever!! Strictly โ€“ please please hire him as a permanent judge next year!!!โ€ said one fan on Twitter.

โ€œIโ€™d love for Strictly to have five judges so you could be a permanent addition, youโ€™re fab,โ€ said another fan.

Another pleaded: โ€œIโ€™m just catching up properly tonight and @bbcstrictly love @alfonso_ribeiro he is just a #legend.

โ€œCan he be the fifth judge pretty please.โ€

โ€œLove you as a judge, shame they canโ€™t make a panel of 5 , would love to have you judge every week!โ€ said another.

Ribeiro won US show Dancing With The Stars in 2014.

Strictly continues on BBC One.
