Head judge on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing TV show, Len Goodman has revealed his rage at the British public for placing Gabby Logan in the bottom two in last night’s show.

Speaking on BBC Two’s Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two programme Len stated:

“I’d like to say how sorry how sad I am that Gabby and James have had to come out of this competition,” he told show host Claudia Winkleman. “The real villains of this are the viewers. I was against the judges voting somebody out at the end. I liked the other method… especially now.”

“I really didn’t want to be put into that position,” he said of having to choose between two competent dancers in the bottom two. “I think it was a disgrace and I think the public… well, words fail me.

“I think it’s unfair that I was put into that position by the BBC. I don’t think it’s fair that it should all come down to that vote. I understand the concept that if you’ve got a really good one… that we can vote out the bad one but that isn’t happening.”

He added: “Kenny [Logan, husband of Gabby] should have been in the bottom two and Kate [Garraway, GMTV presenter] should have been in the bottom two.”
