A DANCE teacher who lived with booted out Big Brother star Dennis in Aberdeen has told how she thinks viewers missed the best of him.
The 23-year-old from Edinburgh used to teach at a dance school in Aberdeen and “loves being the centre of attention”.
He worked and lived with Claire Smith, who runs her own studio at Inchgarth Community Centre in Garthdee.
He arrived in Aberdeen in November 2005 and taught for a year.
Claire, 33, described Dennis as a “excellent dance teacher”.
She said: “He’s an extrovert and loves being the centre of attention.”
The pair shared a flat in Aberdeen for six months and Claire revealed it was obvious Dennis wanted to be famous.
She said: “He just wants to be famous and for everybody to like him.”
Dennis said: “I have known Claire throughout my freestyle career and have also taught classes with her and she is an extremely talented and very experienced dance teacher.
“Illusion School of Dance has a very promising future. Good luck guys, not that you need it – go, go, go!”
Dennis was booted out of the Channel 4 reality show after he broke house rules by spitting in the face of fellow contestant Mohamed Mohamed.
Claire, who is expecting a baby in September, said: “I just couldn’t believe it. He will be kicking himself and will be really disappointed.”
