Strictly’s Peter Andre “annoyed” by ‘bitchy' Helen George rumours
Reports the Call the Midwife star doesn’t get on with people backstage “couldn’t be further from the truth” says the singer
Singer Peter Andre is “annoyed” by reports that actress Helen George isn't liked backstage at Strictly Come Dancing and wants to put the record straight.
The Call the Midwife star was described as “this year's Strictly bitch” in a report in The Sun, which she herself has dismissed, telling us everyone does genuinely get on.
“I was a little bit annoyed with that story,” Andre told RadioTimes.com backstage on Friday. “I don’t usually get involved in gossipy little things but they couldn’t be further away from the truth with her and that’s why I feel I need to stick up for her a bit. It’s one thing someone saying you’re not very good at this or you’re not very good at that, but to say she’s bitchy when she’s one of the sweetest girls…
“It made [the contestants] mad that they thought that about her,” the singer continued. “For someone to be called that when you’re the opposite…”
And Peter doesn’t just think Helen's nice to have around. He's tipping her and her pro partner Aljaz Skorjanec for glory this year.
