Bit harsh perhaps…

They may have been voted off Strictly Come Dancing over a week ago, but Anton Du Beke is still holding a grudge about being partnered up with Judy Murray.

The Strictly professional was acting as master of ceremonies for the Nordoff Robbins charity boxing match in London last night when he opened up about his feelings towards Judy, who was on occasion compared to a dancing broomstick. Ouchie…

A source told MailOnline: “Anton addressed the whole room and said about Judy, ‘She was sh*t. Why couldn't they have given me Pixie Lott?’”

The source added: “He may have been simply joking and he did have the crowd in stitches but it was clear he was slightly exasperated.”

Anton and his 55-year-old tennis coach partner left the BBC 1 show after being beaten in the dance-off two weeks ago by Casualty star Sunetra Sarker during the show's famous Blackpool Week.

Judy and Anton performed their Viennese Waltz to Let’s Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins, while Sunetra and her partner Brendan Cole performed their Samba to I Don’t Feel Like Dancing by Scissor Sisters.
