Robbie Savage blasts journalists: I'm not quitting Strictly

Robbie Savage has rubbished newspaper reports that he may quit Strictly Come Dancing.



Savage was accused of throwing a strop after judge Craig Revel Horwood only gave him a four for his paso doble routine at the weekend.

The Welsh footballer only picked up 26 points for his Michael Jackson-themed Latin dance, which included numerous crotch grabs and a finale involving Savage jumping on the judges' desk.

However, the sports star quashed all rumours of discontent about the show, writing on his Twitter account this morning that Horwood's low scores were only inspiring him to work harder.

"Why do reporters make things up?" he asked. "Just to let you know off me, not some pathetic journalist, I love Strictly and I'm not walking out because of a four.

"Craig Revel Horwood's marks inspire me. I'm going to prove him wrong!"

He added: "Looks like some of the papers have it in for me. Nothing new there then! Making things up off sources! Lol! Last time, I love Strictly."

Savage and his pro partner will be dancing a waltz this weekend to a Take That track.
