Samantha Mumba lashes Out At Jason

Samantha Mumba lashes Out At Jason

Fern: "Is there anything you would like to say to Jason whilst he is sitting next to you?"

Samantha: "I’ll save that for off camera"

Fern:"Oh no! Say it on camera!"Jason: "Why? I’m out of here darling so you might as well say it now"

Samantha: "So here’s my thing with Jason, this has been my issue from day one. I think his character on the show is fantastic, it needs it and it makes it wonderful. I think his thing is backstage, even from the first show, backstage you would smile at him and you would get nothing back. And it’s like, ok, which is fine but then today coming into my dressing room and saying ‘how are you’ it’s like ‘he talks? To us?’ it’s just weird"

Jason: "In my defence, you have to remember, I have to keep myself from you as a judge"Samantha: "None of the other judges do, they are all very lovely"

Jason "Well that’s the way they work"

Samantha: "Which is fine. I find him [Jason] vile but at the same time, also, with a bottle of wine I know we would have a ball"

Jason: "Well, I don’t drink so it won’t happen"Samantha: "you need to, maybe that’s the problem"

Samantha comments on leaving show
Samantha: "I knew once I had finished the first routine, I had a bad feeling straight afterwards. I had really hurt my leg and I knew that if I was in the skate-off I was gone because I pushed it as much as I could. I was in so much pain and I was trying to just get through it but it just wasn’t happening. Even if I had been saved I don’t even think I could’ve done the show next week, I’ve got two or three week’s physio on the leg now"

Phil: "Did the splits hurt?"

Samantha: "yes it did, a lot!" Fern: "That’s why in the skate-off you changed the ending?"

Samantha: "Yes. There was no way I could’ve done it, I barely got through it as it was"Fern: "Did you feel, ‘oh ok, I’m in the skate off’ and sort of just give up?" Samantha: "No, it was more the rush of everything. When I did the skate-off last it was the last three contestants, then a break and we had a couple of minutes to warm up. But this was kind of ‘no, you’re in the skate-off, come on’ it was like ‘oh, bloody hell’ My leg was really, really sore and I had iced it for most of the show so I was just hoping that that would stay with me but I was in pain and just did the best I could, I know it wasn’t how it was meant to be"

Phil: "Will you miss it?"

Samantha:"Absolutely, I’ve had a ball. I’ve had a really, really wonderful time and met some great people"
