Rachel Stevens isn’t going to get any special treatment from Bruno Tonioli when the new series of Strictly Come Dancing kicks off on Saturday.

The judge has refused to admit that he is friends with the former S Club 7 singer.

He told the Sunday Mail: “I have bumped into a few of the celebrities socially – Andrew Castle, Cherie Lunghi, Gillian Taylforth and Rachel Stevens – but none are friends.

“Even if they were, you can’t let that affect you. That would be very unfair. You have to treat everybody equally.”

He doesn’t seem to think that Rachel will win, telling the paper: “Rachel may have dance experience but it won’t really help. Technically ballroom will be a wake-up call.”

Bruno seems to be a fan of Lisa Snowdon: “She’s a sexy woman with a great personality.”

He refused to reveal who will go in the first week: “There will be duds – there always are – but I’m almost looking forward to the duds more than the good ones.”
