Another week, another controversial exit on Strictly Come Dancing...

Danny John-Jules and his dance partner Amy Dowden were voted off Strictly on Sunday night, following the dreaded dance-off with Graeme Swann and Oti Mabuse.

The controversial exit came after a week of speculation over bullying rumours surrounding the pair. However, Amy confirmed on It Takes Two that although things had been 'intense' in rehearsals, everything between her and Danny were absolutely fine.

But now, The Sun have reported that Danny is FURIOUS at being booted off the show.

A source told the newspaper: "Danny lashed out at the judges, calling them imbeciles, and told friends and family he would have won the show.

"He was wandering around the after-party mumbling to himself and anyone who would listen."

Despite these claims, Danny and Amy were very complimentary of each other after the judges delivered their votes on Sunday night.

Danny said: "Everything I have done on this show is because of Amy. It was her training, her choreography that got me here. I can only look as good as her dancing and you know, she is great, and I hope that her career goes up and onwards as she deserves."

He also told Amy he should have shown her more gratitude in a a tweet on Monday morning, writing: "I should of have expressed my gratitude more often. You truly inspired me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the knowledge I have taken away with me, curtesy of your good self."
