Peter Andre dismisses Jamelia's Strictly Come Dancing 'fix' claims
She claims bosses fixed the show to keep him on
Peter Andre has hit back at claims by former contestant Jamelia that bosses fixed Strictly Come Dancing to keep him on the show.
Jamelia had accused the bosses of re-recording the audience's reaction to his dance when the two faced a dance off.
Although she scored higher than Andre, three of the judges sent her home.
“The results have nothing to do with Peter. It's handled by an outside company so even if Peter wanted to, he wouldn't know where to look!
"I have no idea why Jamelia said these things because she and Pete get on really well. I know Pete really likes her. I guess Jamelia was just being Jamelia but I don't think she meant what she said in a vicious way."
A BBC spokesperson also said that the 'Mysterious Girl' singer had a 'standing ovation' and crews had filmed the audience while the dance floor was reset.
Peter diplomatically said that while he understood James' anger, he hadn't closed the show or got the highest score.
Strictly Come Dancing is in it's 13th series.
