Strictly Come Dancing judge, Arlene Phillips, has branded the shows head judge, len Goodman, a sexist!

Arlene told The Mirror: “Last year Len was sometimes aggressive when he didn’t need to be and sometimes very sexist.

“I got irritated with it but I kept forgiving him. But not this year. I’m tired of forgiving.”

She acknowledged that Bruno Toniolo can also be moody, but she finds it easier to put up with his snappiness.

She said: “With Bruno, we go way back, so I can live with him — I’ve been through all his moods.”

She added: “I’d hate to be doing all that commuting but they’ve chosen to do it and we all work hard. They should just get over it and behave.”
