Strictly Come Dancing’s Brendan Cole has lashed out at a cameraman on the show.
After being chucked off the show on Saturday night, he and partner Fiona Phillips retired backstage. Cole realised they were still being filmed and lost his temper.
“He turned the air blue and gave the poor guy filming quite a shove. The cameraman wasn't injured in the scuffle but he was a bit shaken," a BBC insider told The Sun. "He acted like a spoilt baby throwing his toys out of the pram."
Cole has since defended himself, saying: "I'm an emotional person. I certainly wear my heart on my sleeve. When I came off backstage, there was a camera in my face and I said, 'I don't want to be filmed right now'.
"Unfortunately, the programme doesn't know when to quit it. They were in my face three times. I said, 'I don't want to be filmed right now. Turn the camera off'. Unfortunately, you see my nasty side."
