'Jason Gardiner could knock me out': Boxing hero Luke Campbell fears judge's jibes may cost him

Dancing on Ice star Luke Campbell fears that judge Jason Gardiner’s cruel jibes may cost him a chance of winning tonight.

Tough-talking Jason has packed a punch with his criticism of the Olympic boxer’s performances.

And Luke fears viewers will listen to the catty judge… which will mean Beth Tweddle or Matt Lapinskas will beat him.

Luke, 25, said: “There is the possibility that Jason could lose the competition for me if people listen to his comments.

“I’ve never really listened to him throughout the series so I’m not going to start for the final.

"I’m going for gold and skating to win but there’s nothing I can do if people want to listen to him.

“Jason doesn’t make sense and half the time he’s not even ­watching it and doesn’t know what’s going on.

"When he gives me my comments he’s probably commenting on the person ­before me.

“He’s made some nasty ­comments and sometimes he does take it too far â€" like when he compared Lauren Goodger to a walrus.

"If he said that to my mum or sister then I’d be mad.

“His comments about me ­having an attitude problem upset me because I’ve worked my whole life to be respectful.

"If you have got attitude you can’t go and win Olympic gold.”

Romantic: Luke and Lynsey will head off to Dubai

 

And Luke has revenge in mind.

He said: “It would be nice for him to do a charity boxing event with me. I don’t think I’d hold back.”

The boxer thinks he could still surprise everyone tonight.

Luke added: “I’m definitely the underdog which is funny because even in boxing I’ve been the underdog and I’ve always come out the winner.”

After the break-ups among other stars, father-of-two Luke says fiancée ­Lynsey Kraanen, 26, doesn’t need to worry about him and partner Jenna Smith.

He said: “Lynsey hasn’t asked for any reassurance but I have given her it. Jenna is like my little sister â€" we are just mates.

“After DOI I’m ­taking Lynsey and the kids on a romantic holiday in Dubai.”
