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.
