Boxing hero Joe Calzaghe has lashed out at bosses on Strictly Come Dancing - accusing them of fixing the votes.

The former light heavyweight boxing champ lasted five weeks in the competition, mainly due to his popularity with the public.

But the ex fighter is adamant TV execs decided to "fix" the votes and give him the boot after a bust-up with fellow competitor Craig Kelly.

Don't you think it's odd we went out when we were in the bottom for four weeks and the public kept voting for us? We had the highest votes every week, the producers told us

He tells the Daily Mail, "Don't you think it's odd we went out when we were in the bottom for four weeks and the public kept voting for us?

"We had the highest votes every week, the producers told us. Then all of a sudden we lost out in the judges' vote. Something was up.

"I know it's down to something I said about Craig Kelly. It was worse than a swear word.

"They were really angry with me. So you can say it - Strictly Come Dancing is a fix. I don't care, we shouldn't have gone out so early".
