Strictly Come Dancing star Carol Smillie has complained about show judge Arlene Phillips.

The former Changing Rooms host has felt hurt following Arlene's recent on-screen comments about her performances. She has also criticised Phillips for being the only judge who doesn't stay for a drink with the contestants after the live shows.

"I’ve had friends who have been really upset for me after her comments," Carol told The Sun. "Arlene doesn’t really hang around - she’s not so friendly."

She added: "The worst is when I think I’ve done really well. It can be frustrating when the judges give you some good comments - but their marks don’t reflect that. Matt and I are always in the middle of the scoreboard, which is a dangerous place to be - as everyone rushes to vote for the people at the bottom."
