sorry but sounds to me like digital spy have taken it out of context.

from the quote they have given it sounds to me like he is saying he is saving himself the embarrassment of going on it - probably because he can't dance & would make a fool of himself.

Not calling the show itself an embarrasment

That's ok, Calvin - I don't want to see you dance anyway

Yes, that's been taken out of context. He wasn't dissing the show.

But, he's shown himself to be a bit of a knob in other ways recently so he's not exactly in my dream lineup and I don't care if he doesn't want to compete!

Some DJ who got lucky and releases the same song over and over with minute tweaks each time.

He also dated Taylor Swift for a day or so.

In the last Forbes list of the most highly paid entertainers in the entire world, Calvin was 21st. Truly Digital Spy continues to stretch the limits of who it calls a "nobody".

Not as embarrassing as hanging around with Kardashians for publicity

Hardly a 'nobody' just because you haven't heard of him. Not that I'm a fan, but still.

But yeah that article is definitely out of context.

Hi Monkseal, from an admirer

Am I digital spy? No, I'm just a pleb

High pay and Taylor Swift do not a somebody make!

I always fail miserably on Pointless with Forbes list - why should a humble peasant like me know about rich people?

Back under me rock

Completely. I doubt the guy has any strong views on the show, must have been a slow news day or something! In any case to be honest he's far too famous to do it right now.

An X Factor fan calling Strictly embarrassing? OK then lol.

That's not quite what he said, but anyway, I wonder what he would call his fauxmance with that PR whore.

When I read it yesterday it was obvious DS had taken it out of context.

"That is an embarrassment that I could not put myself through," he said.
Translation: I can't dance, it'd be embarrassing to attempt it in front of millions of people.

It's funny how one sentence can be turned into a full article. He didn't say anything about being "Team X Factor", he didn't compare the shows, he only mentioned The X Factor when he spoke about the Jedward incident - nothing in relation to Strictly.

Just another example of how low the DS team has sunk.

Calvin Harris has done some decent tunes like the one above. He is also hot as hell with his shirt off.

You've said it all for me. Plenty on this thread have also jumped to the same, incorrect conclusion.

It looks like only one or two people in this thread may have jumped to that conclusion - and even then it's ambiguous. You're jumping to conclusions, there.

I certainly didn't that the headline at face value, but I'd just rather not see someone on the show that thinks they'd be an embarrassment.
