Alesha claims jungle Joe ‘either sexist or racist’

Strictly Alesha Dixon version

Alesha Dixon has vented her disappointment of Joe Bugner’s behaviour towards Sabrina Washington on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – branding it either racism or sexism.

The Strictly Come Dancing Judge  gave her thoughts on yesterday’s edition of Live From Studio Five on Channel Five.

Alesha, who was in girl-group Mis-Teeq with Sabrina, was not at all impressed with the former champion boxer’s attitude in the jungle.

She said: “I have to say that boxer guy (Joe) he has been a bit mean to Sabrina. Well he is either racist or he doesn’t like women, one of the two.

“He was calling her thick – she is far from it and he said she couldn’t cook – she is a great cook. I thought why is he picking on her? What is he playing at?”

Last week Bugner upset his fellow campmates after complaining about Sabrina’s cooking, but he then later apologised to the star for losing his temper.

Fellow contestant Justin Ryan later told him: “The content of your delivery and argument left my stomach turning. You said some despicable and reprehensive stuff.” 

Alesha later told show hosts Ian Wright, Melinda Messenger and Kate Walsh: “She (Sabrina) will not take any c*** from anyone.”

Catch Live From Studio Five every weeknight on Channel Five at 6.30pm.

    I think he’s a pig no matter what! The best man in there, and a real man at that, is Stuart Manning! Check out his picture on his official website http://www.stuartmanningofficial.com/
