The ballroom dancer and choreographer, 46, has slammed the BBC after the clip began doing the rounds again following the recent Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima scandals - saying most of the footage 'was not related to Georgina at all'. The clip, which was filmed during the fourth series back in 2006, shows him rehearsing with actress Georgina.
