This comes after Vick’s Strictly dance partner Graziano dismissed her various claims about her stint and eviction from the show.
The radio host claimed judge Shirley Ballas ‘relished’ criticising her, while also alleging producers spoke to judges before her shock elimination – although the claims were shot down by her professional partner.

Speaking to Bang Showbiz, the 24-year-old Italian dancer said: ‘I don’t really agree with [her comments]. Shirley is an amazing teacher and a professional teacher before. So if she said that it’s because it’s true.’
Clearly perturbed, Graziano went on: ‘It’s her work, if you see on the show she really looked to the legs and the feet, the timing and everything. So for people who never dance before, you understand the feeling more than the technique…
‘Also during the week when you dance with a person who has never danced before you have to understand also the feeling. That’s why it’s so hard for us, a pro dancer, it’s not just about the dance. The dance is the easy part.’
Vick bid adieu to the ballroom on Sunday night after her samba failed to set the judges pulses racing in the dramatic dance-off.
She went after head judge Shirley was given the deciding vote and opted to save Seann Walsh, 32, and Katya Jones, 29, for another week.

Since her shock departure, Vick said that the ballroom expert was to rude to her and claimed that judges; Shirley, Darcy Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood and Alfonso Ribeiro spoke to producers before making their final decision.
Weighing in on her Strictly experience, her co-host Roman Kemp asked the Strictly hopeful about her relationship with Shirley.
He said: ‘Shirley Ballas, one of the judges on Strictly – I didn’t see it live last night, I was on the plane, I came back, I landed, my mum called me saying “why does Shirley Ballas hate Vick Hope?” To which she answered: ‘I wish I knew.’
He asked: ‘Is this a… do you think, like, when she’s talking to you, do you feel like it’s genuine? Or do you think there’s something there?’

Vick shared: ‘I think I’ve gotta be careful what I say here, because you never know what someone’s thinking.
‘And it was from week one that people were suggesting there was something there, I don’t know. It’s been consistent and Saturday night I really felt it was just weird, wasn’t it?
Adding: ‘I’d never really been spoken to like that. She really relished in it.’
Vick then claimed that producers were drafted in to talk to the judges before they gave their final decisions on who to save following the dance-off.
She said: ‘We had to have a dance off as well – it was very strange – so after the dance off, then the judges have to give their decisions but there was a bit of a conflab with some producers and then they gave their decisions.
‘And it was just stunned silence in the studio, it was a really weird atmosphere.’
Since her departure: Vick said Shirley ‘relished’ being to rude to her and claimed that judges; Shirley, Darcy Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood and Alfonso Ribeiro spoke to producers before making their final decision
A spokesperson for Strictly Come Dancing told MailOnline: ‘It is categorically untrue to imply that producers tell the judges how to score or who to save.
‘Each judge votes on each dance independently, based on its merits and in their expert opinion alone.
‘The Judges use an electronic voting pad to transmit their score or choice of who to save to the production gallery which is then locked in and cannot be changed.
‘Only after this does a producer speak to the judges, advising them on how long they have to speak and reminding them to give a reason for their decisions. The process was exactly the same this weekend.’

Vick’s departure from the BBC Ballroom comes to the shock of viewers with former pros blaming her dance partner Graziano for her axing.
Former Strictly pro James Jordan, who left the series in 2013 after seven years, claimed that she would have gone further if she had a different dance partner.
Taking to Twitter to discuss the result, he wrote: ‘Shame, because with the right pro Vick could have been a potential winner. She has so much natural talent.
‘Just to clarify Shirley 100% made the right decision in the dance off. However, Vick had the potential to be outstanding but that’s not the point.’

During Saturday night’s show, he initially weighed in on dance and blasted Graziano’s choreography and championed troupe member Neil Jones.
He wrote: ‘Vickie OMG!!!! She could be so good! I honestly can’t tell which ones the pro….. it was so bad!!!! Off time again! Dancing on “1” at times….. OFF TIME!
‘Can’t score a dance that’s off time…. and @Mr_NJones is a back up dancer.’
James’ wife, Ola, who appeared on the show from 2006 to 2015, reiterated her other half’s sentiments.

The furore comes as Seann Walsh and Katya Jones survived a dramatic dance-off on Strictly on Sunday night.
The judges were unable to make a unanimous decision, leading to head judge Shirley Ballas to make the final call to send the Capital presenter and professional dancer newcomer.
Comedian Seann, 32, and his 29-year-old Russian dance partner’s shock reprieve comes just two weeks after pictures emerged of the pair passionately kissing on a London street – despite them both being in serious relationships at the time.
Seann and Katya found themselves in the bottom three on the leaderboard after failing to impress with their Quickstep to Lightning Bolt by Jake Bugg.
Gaining just 24 points out of 40, the pair faced elimination as they prepared to take part in the dance-off against Capital DJ host Vick who scored 20 with her Cha Cha to More Than Friends.

After both couples danced, the judges delivered their all important verdicts, with Craig kick-starting the vote by picking Vick and Graziano to save.
‘Both dances were very different but both couples I thought need technique as well, but the couple I thought, for me on the night, Vick and Graziano,’ he said.
Meanwhile, Darcey Bussell chose to save Seann and Katya, saying the pair did a ‘cleaner performance’ and had improved since their dance on Saturday night.
Guest judge, Alfonso Ribeiro, who was standing in for Bruno for one week, also chose to save the Mock The Week star.
As their status in the show hung in the balance, Head Judge Shirley had the casting vote and sent them sailing through to next week.

Shirley said: ‘Well I thought both couples put their best foot forward this evening, but due to the performance I enjoyed the most I am going to save Seann and Katya.’
After finding out they had survived another week, the pair looked thrilled as they hugged.
Meanwhile, Vick looked devastated as she told Tess Daly said: ‘I’ve loved it. I’ve had the time of my life so I want to thank everyone for being the best possible people I could spend all this time with.
‘What an incredible team; the hair, the make-up, the clothes. Thank you for all of your guidance and the judging I appreciate it and of course, thank you Graz, you’ve been so patient with me and helped me so much, I’ve loved every last second of it so thank you.’
Graziano added: ‘You did brilliantly and you are brilliant, thank you. You really make me proud day by day.’
