The 35 year old former 'Loose Women' panellist says a woman confronted her in first class over tickets.

Former pop star Jamelia has claimed she was the victim of racial prejudice while sitting in first class during a train journey, when a fellow passenger asked to see her ticket.

Strictly Come Dancing’ judge Len Goodman has hit back at Ola Jordan’s recent claims that the show’s marking scores are fixed, dismissing them comprehensively in a new TV interview.

Professional dancer Ola confirmed her permanent departure from the BBC show last weekend, and has since implied that the judging panel systematically gives higher marks to more popular contestants in order to keep them in the show for longer.

At around the same time, eliminated star Jamelia also reckoned that the judges were keeping bookies’ favourite Peter Andre in the show after she lost the dance-off against the former pop star in week nine of the show this weekend.
