The 44-year-old professional dancer left the survival reality show on Monday (11.05.20) after Ant Middleton and the ex-Special Forces soldiers had enough of him, but Brendan wasn't prepared to leave the show quietly.
An insider told the Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Brendan was absolutely fuming to get culled because he believed he would pass the course. He thought it was a real kick in the balls after all the hard work he had put in across the week.
"For someone so competitive, it was tough to take - especially as he saw people staying who he thought he had matched, if not beaten, in terms of performance on the course."
Meanwhile, Brendan recently confessed 'Strictly Come Dancing' is "hideous" if you don't like your celebrity partner.
The dancer - who left the BBC show back in 2017 - admitted that the programme can be extremely challenging for the professionals if they don't manage to build a rapport with their celebrity dance partner.
He said: "If you don't get on with your partner then 'Strictly Come Dancing' is the most hideous show.
"You've got to spend six, seven, eight, 10 hours with this person that you really don't like and they don't like you."
Brendan insisted that the majority of his 'Strictly' partners were "lovely" people and a joy to work with.
However, he conceded he wasn't always able to build good relationships with his on-screen partners.
During his appearance on 'SAS: Who Dares Wins', he shared: "I am lucky for the most part, my partners were lovely. I had a great relationship with a lot of them - not all of them, but a lot of them."
