Anton du Beke has described the performance of former Strictly Come Dancing partner Nancy Dell'Olio as "[worse than] s**t".
The 45-year-old, who was voted out of the BBC contest with Dell'Olio this weekend, slammed the Italian entrepreneur for failing to impress viewers with her clumsy footwork.
When asked by Carol Vorderman at a London charity show what he really thought of Dell'Olio's dancing, du Beke replied: "S**t... No, she never got that good."
Du Beke also joked about Dell'Olio's mooted lawsuit against Strictly judge Alesha Dixon over comments made about her on the show.
"Yes, I think the judges were cruel," he teased. "I think the producers were cruel giving her to me in the first place."
A guest at the event told The Sun: "Anton was hilarious. It must have been hard for him to dance with Nancy as she was terrible.
"But he's usually such a gent. He got a massive laugh when he gave us his honest opinion. Fair play to him."
