Strictly Come Dancing casualty Brian Conley launched into a bizarre rant after being sent packing from the BBC ballroom show.

The comedian branded the studio a “s*** hole” as he leapt up onto the judges podium while filming the results show.

“They only spend £25 on the toilet,” he shouted before going on to call Darcey Bussell “the horny one”.

His outburst was cut from the final edit of Sunday night’s show, after Conley's comments left everyone “incredibly shocked”.

A source told The Sun: “There’s no way we could include his comment about Darcey.

“No one knows where it came from and everyone was incredibly shocked, but luckily Darcey saw the funny side of it.

“Brian was on thin ice though because it would have been very easy to annoy everyone by hijacking the show like that.

“The audience had no idea what was going on and there were a lot of gasps.

“Everyone was very surprised and the targeting of Darcey was just odd.”

Conley told the publication: “I don’t regret what I said. I was having fun and the toilets here are terrible.”

The comedian was kicked out of the competition after losing in a dance-off with Sunday Brunch presenter Simon Rimmer.

Both stars finished bottom of the leader board with 16 points, but Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood and head judge Shirley Ballas opted to save Rimmer.

Bidding farewell to the show, Conley told host Tess Daly: “I have loved everything about this. It's truly a great show.”
