Celebrity Big Brother housemate James was dropped from the BBC ballroom show earlier this year and has previously lashed out at the show branding the latest series “the worst Strictly ever”.

When Craig, 49, was asked about the opinionated ‘Brad Pitt of the ballroom’ at an event, he replied: “James who?”

Burn.

He continued: "That's of course his opinion and he's entitled to it. So let him spout."

Despite hailing the series as bad and insisting he would be watching rival show The X Factor instead, James has still been religiously tweeting throughout the weekend’s live shows.

Last week he blasted Craig's scoring of Alison Hammond and Aljaž Skorjanec’s Tango, writing: “Craig As usual talking complete s***.”


James, 36, was reported to be attending filming of the show last week at support his wife Ola and her partner Steve Backshall, but insiders claimed BBC bosses were nervous we would try and sabotage it live on air.

He hit back at the claims calling his old bosses “liars”, writing: The BBC get worse. Bosses rang me 2 days ago to say a taxi driver told them I was going to sabotage the show. Whatever! I laughed....

“Well done BBC anything to try and get your viewing figures up. No matter at the expense of who. I was never going tonight anyway. #LIARS”.

Strictly Come Dancing continues tomorrow night at 6.30pm.
