Dan Osborne talks controversy, no longer Dad Of The Year!
Quote:
Ex-TOWIE star Dan Osborne has been taken off a Celebrity Dad Of The Year shortlist after backlash from domestic abuse campaigners.
The 23-year-old dad of two was earlier this year unmasked as the male voice in a video threatening his ex, Megan Tomlin, who is the mother of his son Teddy, two.
While no further charges were taken against him, TOWIE bosses decided to drop him from the reality show and wished him well for the future.
Now icelolly.com, which runs both the Celebrity Mum and Celebrity Dad awards each year, has taken him off its shortlist.
Dan himself has admitted to being the man in the audio clip, but said his ex had wound him up.
"That day really was a matter of me being pushed to my limit so I said loads of stupid things I didn't mean," he said.
"I had everything said to me that could possibly hurt a man ... and relating to their child. And the moment she got the reaction she wanted, she pressed record."
Meanwhile, Dan's girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa – who gave birth to their baby girl Ella earlier this year – is standing by him.
Since I saw that girl I thought she is a gold digger, she totally used him & is now making money off of this.
Its really easy to make someone mad & throw him/her off balance. And she had everything ready to RECORD. . .
I'd be pissed to if Dan Osborne dumped me.
