Vanessa Feltz defends former Strictly partner James Jordan after 'abusive' footage of him emerged and SLAMS BBC for 'deliberately editing' clip as crisis on the show deepens
Vanessa, 62, who took part in the series in 2013, furiously said it was 'quite wrong' to include him in the same category as axed professionals Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima.
Saying: 'Anybody who thinks that this is mysterious footage of James Jordan that has suddenly come to light and shows him in the same kind of category as Giovanni Pernice or Graziano Di Prima, both of whom are now no longer associated with the program, is quite wrong.' Jordan, who left Strictly in 2012 after appearing on eight series, also banned Ms Bouzova, who formerly starred on BBC medical drama Casualty, from eating sweets and chocolate and would only allow her to buy pineapple and ham when they visited a supermarket together. The video, which emerged just days after Graziano was sacked for allegedly hitting and kicking his partner Zara, was shown on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two at the time with its then host Claudia Winkleman introducing it to viewers.
