Strictly 'bosses cut "tense exchange" between Bobby Brazier and judge Shirley Ballas from Blackpool special results show as actor admitted he was "exhausted" after landing in dance off'
A 'tense exchange' between Bobby Brazier and Shirley Ballas was reportedly edited out of last week's Strictly Come Dancing results show.
Audience members are said to have heard Bobby, 20, say he was 'knackered' after he landed in the bottom two couples along with the now departed Angela Rippon and her professional partner Kai Widdrington.
It is claimed she sternly told him to plow through the dance off but the conversation was cut from the results show which aired on BBC One last Sunday.
A source told The Sun: 'Bobby sounded like he’d had enough whereas Shirley seemed mildly annoyed and basically told him to pull his socks up.
'Some think the Beeb are making Bobby their golden boy and wanted to avoid any conflict.'

But viewers saw Shirley tell Bobby: 'I thought you did an exquisite jive.'
A Strictly insider told MailOnline: 'It's well known that the Sunday results show is pre-recorded and edited down for duration.'
The BBC declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
Bobby is said to be seen as a rising star by the Beeb after winning a National Television Award for his role as Freddie Slater in EastEnders.
He was saved by the judges during the results show last week after they decided to send home Angela.
On Saturday, Bobby and his professional partner Dianne Buswell moved judges Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke to tears with their emotional tribute performance to his late mother Jade Goody.
Bobby was only five when Jade, who rose to fame on Big Brother in 2002, died of cervical cancer on Mother's Day in March 2009.
His father, TV presenter Jeff, 44, single-handedly raised him and younger brother Freddie, 19, with the pair both shedding some tears as they watched on from the audience.

No holding back: Judge Shirley was unable to hold back her tears as she praised Bobby after his performance
Bobby said of his mother's death before his performance: 'It changed my life completely, I'd love to spend a day with her just to see where I get my smile from.'
EastEnders star Bobby and Dianne danced a Couple's Choice routine to 'This Woman's Work' by Maxwell, a song that Bobby chose because it is close to his heart.
After the performance, he appeared emotional as his family watched in the audience and judges Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse gave him standing ovations. He received a score of 37 points.
Both Shirley and fellow panellist Anton Du Beke were moved to tears by his tribute dance.
Bobby's father Jeff was also in tears as he called his son Bobby 'a walking tribute to his mum'.
In the emotional VT before Bobby's performance with his partner Dianne, Jeff paid tribute to Jade and how proud she would be of their son.
He told the camera: 'As a family we are very tight, we have had to be as loss has made us grow closer.' Bobby added his love for his dad by saying: 'To be someone that my dad is proud of is everything.'
Breaking down in tears Jeff called himself 'the lucky one', explaining: 'I'm the one who gets to bring the boys up I'm the one who gets to watch him on Strictly and it brings so much joy to my life, I'm very, very grateful for that.'
It comes one week after Dianne's father Mark, who lives in Dianne's native Australia with her mum Rina, started chemotherapy for his own cancer battle.
During rehearsals, Dianne, 34, admitted she's been struggling to hold back tears as the song reminds her of how Bobby lost his mother as a child and became the man he is today.

Bobby and Dianne were given a score of 37 out of 40 for their dance by judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse.
Viewers took to Twitter to offer their praise for Bobby and Dianne after their performance aired.

'Jade would be so proud,' noted another viewer.
'Ugh Bobby & Diane I'm sobbing & Jade would be so bloody proud,' posted another viewer.

'There's lyrics in particular - "I should be crying but I just can't let it show" - and when I was a little bit younger and I was angry and resentful and I feared the world and just couldn't cry or express myself it was those lyrics, hearing that, that would make me cry because it felt so true.'
Bobby has revealed the two words he would say to his late mother Jade if he could see her again.
Speaking before his emotional tribute to her on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, Bobby told the Mirror: 'If I could see her again for one moment, I'd tell her, "Thank you" and give her a cuddle.'
Strictly Come Dancing: The Results airs tomorrow on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7.20pm.
