Strictly Come Dancing’s du Beke leaves Rouass sobbing after another row
October 20th, 2009 - 5:29 pm ICT by ANILondon, October 20 (ANI): Strictly Come Dancing star Laila Rouass was reportedly reduced to tears after having another argument with race row partner Anton Du Beke.
The pair were said to have had two rows, with the first leading them to miss their dress rehearsal slot.
“She got so upset she ended up in tears in his (a BBC executive) office,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.
The duo purportedly bickered again when Anton commented about the actress’ backless fringed catsuit on air.
Disappointed with their low score, the dancer joked he’d like to see Laila shaking her chest to the samba, adding: “Pop the frock on back to front - we’ll all have a lovely time.”
Stunned presenter Tess Daily said: “Anton! Behave please.” And host Bruce Forsyth also told viewers: “He’s a fool.”
The source added: “Laila was stunned.”
Anton previously came under fire after using racist comments for the mixed-race actress, telling her “she looked like a Paki” after she got a spray-tan.
The source also said: “Laila feels Anton doesn’t respect her.”
The BBC said: “Laila and Anton are getting on great. Rehearsal schedules are always subject to change on the day for any number of reasons from issues with costumes, hair, make up, injuries or script changes.” (ANI)
