Not accusations at all. She just described what happened.

Now this sounds like a very sensible idea. It will be very difficult for Peter and Janette and I'm sure some of the others will feel uncomfortable too.

I don't see it like that. The BBC has a spin-off show every night of the week to answer any accusations and put the record straight. I'm sure most people would welcome that even if it did mean dropping some of the frivolous fluff they have lined up.
Use some sense for a change, treat the public like adults. Handled properly they could just clear the air and move on.

She's been far more straightforward than a lot of people who left - in Series 6 John Sergeant said some members of the cast were over-competitive bordering on bullying without saying which ones, and in Series 4 Georgina accused another celebrity of deliberately elbowing her in the face during a group dance, again, without saying who it was.

Jamelia on the other hand has been perfectly clear about how she feels wronged and exactly who she blames, and she has just cause to be honest.

Indeed.

Had she refused to do a final dance and instead said what she said on ITT then I could understand people getting a little stroppy but surely that's what ITT is for?

WELL DONE JAMELIA for having the balls to reveal all on live telly

ROFL at brilliant Zoe and Tristan's reaction

We don't all love him.I don't know him

I wish my memory was as good as a seal,

That's what I think happened, if you look at the initial shots of the crowd immediately after his dance-off dance, there is no sign that a standing ovation is coming.

Sorry, I was just giving an example of "creating an illusion," as some on here don't believe it happens.

They do that at Eurovision too. Very disappointing.

Very well put.

Jamelia stands by her comments.

Was Louise Rainbow daft to instruct a fake standing ovation to be shot and think nobody would find out? Of course.

But, much as I'd've loved to get rid of PA (and his exit would have been much more of a headline-grabbing shocker than what's happened), would there really have been any point in subjecting Jamelia to yet another dance-off next week? Which, short of a miracle performance, is what would have happened.

I understand why some people are upset about Rainbow's stunt, but this is nowhere near as bad as her predecessors rigging the judges' votes to carry through two contestants who were repeatedly in the dance-off and obviously failed to win much public support, while getting rid of one popular contestant and trying to do the same with another - all of which happened in SCD6. So this isn't that big a deal.

The writing is on the wall for PA. The judges can only protect him for so long, and he won't know how to deal with what Jamelia's said. I'd be surprised if he made the final.

But I have to say there is another angle to all this that nobody has picked up on. Strictly is currently embarrassing the hell out of ITV: TXF is on the slide and the channel's new big budget fantasy drama on Sunday nights has sunk below 2m against a hugely successful SCD. ITV can't compete with it - so what better way to attack it than via one of their own stars? There's a Daily Mail anti-BBC story in the making here, and one la Rainbow should have thought about before she pulled the stunt she did.

Her only way out now is to get the judges to mark him down next week, so he ends up in the dance-off against a stronger contestant (and they're all stronger than he is, with the possible exception of Katie), and then exits. That's the only way to kill the discontent ...

maybe ola did have a point too about making sure favourites are put through....

It's all very suspect. It doesn't add up, Darcey's trepidation in giving her vote and her subsequent head dropping somewhat gives the game away. Given Jamelia was significantly better in the dance-off there's no reason why she shouldn't have stayed. In saving Peter Andre, the judges/producers (?) have done themselves and him more harm than good.

On another note, I also find it hilarious how candid Jamelia is being.

Unfortunately ITT is not the home of in depth journalism They are determined to stick to the tired old format of " how was the weekend, you were brilliant, what are you dancing this week, how is training going" It would be a much better programme if Zoe asked some proper questions and then somebody going off message would not be a surprise.

The facts don't really support this. We all saw the dance off so it isn't being created from nothing. Jamelia has talked about this when he she has been asked about it on chat shows that she was already due to be on. If ITV really has wanted to stick the knife in then it would have fed the stories to the papers for Monday morning. That's how the PR people work (as seen from stories this weekend about Ola, Georgia wearing a TINY dress, Take That, etc).

Jamelia's claims in The Huffington Post now

It's just not going away, despite the BBC denying it

Good on Jamelia for speaking out, about time someone did (as well as Ola!)

It was very evident from the 'Goodbye Jamelia' vid that the other celebs thought she had danced best. They usually only talk about how they're going to miss someone etc but quite a few of them mentioned how well she had just danced. There was a definite subtext.

Must be bewildering for them .. when the rule book is thrown out of the window. Who else might be sacrificed to keep Peter in? Jamelia was always going to go .. but it should have been when she was the poorer dancer which had not yet happened in any of her dance offs.

Good on her for speaking out! Why shouldn't she tell the truth as she sees it! I think the PTB thought ... because of her low vote .. the viewers wouldn't mind the manipulation.

I hope nobody judges me for mistakes I made in the past and doesn't realise that we can change .............

The right person went. It's not all about dancing and the public couldn't stand her.

The story isn't over yet. I never said it was created from nothing. Some of the biggest stories can start small and snowball (just ask Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross).

ITV weren't in full possession of what happened until yesterday. And they pay Jamelia. They could just as easily not have mentioned SCD at all. The fact they did ask her about it is enough.

All it takes is for the Daily Heil to pick up the baton …
