Georgina Bouzova has hit back at the Strictly Come Dancing judges after being constantly criticised for her performances.
The Casualty actress was left furious after last week's live show when panellist Arlene Phillips told her that she couldn't walk properly. Georgina broke down in tears during rehearsals this week when her dance partner James Jordan backed Arlene's comments.
"Arlene said I couldn't walk. She shouldn't say those sort of things because it's setting a bad example to children," Georgina told The Mirror. "For a lot of people walking is an expression of individuality and to mould someone into walking the same as everybody else is wrong.
"We're all different at the end of the day and we should be proud of expressing ourselves with our bodies, not trying to walk like the Stepford Wives.
"Otherwise the world would be a very boring place. I think she was trying to be funny and it didn't work. For some reason I turn into a scared little girl when I'm in front of those judges."
