Mr Skinner, who was the first contestant eliminated from the competition in September, reflected on initially being offered a place on the show earlier this year.
“I was buzzing. Not because I can dance… I can’t. But because I really wanted to test myself and learn something completely out of my comfort zone,” he said.
The pillow salesman went on to claim that on the night of his elimination, he received an anonymous email, which he alleges was sent by a BBC executive, containing voting information.
According to Mr Skinner, the message suggested he had received significantly more public votes than his final position implied.
“I’ve since had the email independently verified,” he claimed.
