'Dancing' judge slams McLean, Holmes

Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner isn't impressed by Andrea McLean's performances on the show.

"Standing still, Andrea looks great," he told The Sun. "But I don't know if you've ever seen a giraffe try to run or have sex - it's not pretty. They look awkward."

Gardiner, dubbed TV's new Mr Nasty, is also surprised about the row caused by his criticism of Kelly Holmes.

"I said Kelly was in danger of looking like a man in drag. I stand by what I said," he explained. "I'm the expert. She's got an amazing athletic body, but for dancing you need to soften it and lose that muscular look."

Jason has insisted that he has no regrets about criticising the celebrities taking part in the show.

"If they want to win they need constructive criticism," he added. "It’s a dog-eat-dog world. Friends say, ‘God, you’re a bitch’. But I do have a nice side."
