Former Good Morning TV presenter Fiona Phillips has reignited a 15 year old feud with Brendan Cole after the two were paired up on the 2005 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Cast your minds back and you’ll remember that Fiona and Brendan got the boot in just week four after their dancing failed to impress then judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonilio, Arlene Phillips and Len Goodman.
And now she’s revealed that she’s “not glad” she took part – which is worlds away from what the celebs normally say.
“I should never have done it,” she said. “Even as a teenager I hated getting on the dance floor.
“I felt so self-conscious, but I thought, ‘I will have a professional dancer and it’s a nice programme’.
"But Brendan is a rough old taskmaster and really wanted to be number one or nothing. I just wasn’t very good.”

Original professional Brendan got the axe in 2018 after ITV decided not to renew his contract – and Fiona thinks it might have had something to do with his attitude.
“Brendan was a real bugger, actually," Fiona told the Daily Star.
"He wasn’t very nice. He was really naughty.

In 2019, Brendan signed up to the one-off series of X Factor: Celebrity but lived up to his reputation when he stormed off the stage following negative feedback from the judges.
