Former Strictly Come Dancing pro-dancer turned judge Anton Du Beke has been named to lawyers Carter Ruck by former celebrity dance partner Laila Rouass, according to the Mirror.The 57 year old dancer and presenter was paired with the former Hollyoaks and Footballers’ Wives actress in the 2009 edition of the show.
It is understood that Laila’s complaint to lawyers follows a remark made by Anton at the time, in which he commented that the star looked like “a P***” after she had been given a spray tan.
He later apologised for the comment, saying: "I must say immediately and categorically that I am not a racist and that I do not use racist language.
