“Brendan was a real bugger, actually," Fiona told the Daily Star.

"He wasn’t very nice. He was really naughty.

“He’s not on the show now. Karma indeed. It works its way every time.”

Fiona bravely admitted she was suffering from a crippling bout of depression when she joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2005.

She was getting up early every day to work on GMTV and juggling her high-pressure job with looking after her kids and her sick parents alongside training for the show.

Fiona revealed her former morning TV partner Eamonn Holmes knew about her illness and urged her to get help, but she was in denial.

The 59-year-old was kicked out in week four and now regrets ever signing up.

Since leaving breakfast TV she has worked on a number of successful documentaries including The Truth About Stress on BBC1.

Meanwhile Brendan attempted to become a singer on The X Factor: Celebrity last year but was laughed off stage.
