'Strictly Come Dancing' Lulu: 'Brendan Cole pairing was a mistake'

Strictly Come Dancing contestant Lulu has criticised the BBC for making a "mistake" by pairing her with Brendan Cole.

The 'Shout' singer blamed her exit from the ballroom competition last night (November 6) on the height difference between her and Cole.

"He was far too tall for me to dance with," she told The Mirror. "I'd started to tolerate Brendan, but it was a mistake being partnered with him in the first place.

"You are supposed to be just a little shorter than the male partner, but I was staring at his chest the whole time we were dancing."

Lulu added that she was more devastated by her Strictly elimination than she let on during the show.

"I put a brave face on for the cameras and then cried when I got home," she revealed. "I'll miss Strictly so much. I know everyone says this but it really does feel like being part of a family."

Lulu previously admitted to being "horrified" by her partnership with Cole.
