Everybody loves Peter Andre. His fans love him, his kids love him and - according to ex-Strictly Come Dancing dancer James Jordan - the BBC loves him as well. But maybe a little bit too much.

*Celebrity Big Brother *star James was understandably gutted when his wife Ola Jordan was knocked out with dance partner Iwan Thomas on Sunday night, and hinted throughout the show that the BBC was favouring '90s popstar Pete.

James tweeted:

Responding to the claims, Peter told the* Daily Mail*: "I know James, I think he's a really nice guy. He's probably upset because Ola has gone first, and she's a great dancer.

He continued: "I don't take things like that personally because I understand, but I also don't think that James he was personal to me, but maybe I'm just…I just take all things like that with a pinch of salt. I'm just grateful to be in it to be honest."

James had tweeted about the fact Peter had closed the show's opening week with his partner, Janette Manrara, then taken on the penultimate dance in the second week.

However, James did think it was fair that Ola and Iwan were the ones to leave.

Since then James and Peter have been direct messaging on Twitter, as Peter wanted to make sure they were both on good terms.

"I can understand why he was upset this morning, however, I'd like to point out that I didn't get the highest score last week and I didn't close the show either," Peter told The Mirror.

Aww, we're glad they're still buddies!
