Brendan Cole might have had a reputation for pushing his Strictly Come Dancing partners to the edge due to his fiery competitiveness, but he insists that this was a result of BBC manipulation.
The professional dancer, 45, insists that this image was a result of BBC bosses only showing one side of him on the show for 15 years.
Brendan has now jumped ship from the BBC show over to rival ITV's Dancing on Ice and has a solid chance of taking home the trophy in the final tonight.
