The professional dancer has since said she “never felt threatened” by the Red Dwarf star as she addressed their clash.

Red Dwarf and Death In Paradise star John-Jules, 58, added: “All I can tell you is that the only reason I’m here, this far, is because of Amy, and I’d never bite the hand that feeds me.”

Swann, son of Stanningtonborn former Northumberland cricketer Ray, revealed he has previously clashed with his own professional Mabuse.

He said the pair had only had one row over a jive.

“And there’s a bit that she put in earlier in the week saying ‘I’m putting this in’. I couldn’t do it and I worked tirelessly for days.to make sure I could do it, and then she tried to take it out because I was rubbish at it.”
