Eggheads star CJ de Mooi has blasted BBC bosses for being behind the times after claiming he was snubbed for a place on this year's Strictly Come Dancing because he asked for a same-sex partner.

The openly gay 45-year-old - who sits on the panel of the hit BBC quiz show - said producers opted to go with the programme's host Jeremy Vine after he asked to dance with a man during negotiations.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: 'I can’t believe they picked Jeremy over me. I’m quite upset. It’s because I wanted to dance in a same-sex couple.


Are we expected to be too accommodating to gays ?

I suspect Jeremy was picked as he is more well known
