Strictly Come Dancing fans speculate on potential feud between professional dancers after awkward TV moment

Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced they have spotted a 'feud' between two of the show's professional dancers after a tense on-air moment during the latest live show

Strictly Come Dancing fans believe they may have uncovered a 'feud' brewing within the show.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted what looked like growing tension between two of Strictly's professional dancers. A particular on-air exchange that suggested offstage friction has been the talk amongst fans.

During last Saturday's live show, as Tasha Ghouri, who hails from Love Island fame, and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec wrapped up their dance and were chatting with host Claudia Winkleman about their performance, something caught the eye of viewers.

It was professional dancer Katya Jones's reaction in the background during the interview that sparked speculation.

With a conspicuously neutral expression compared to her animated peers, Katya seemed somewhat unenthusiastic, leading viewers to ponder if she disapproved of Tasha and Aljaz's conversation.

This moment stirred debate across social media and was flagged by The Sun, drawing comments from fans on various platforms. OK! reports the Express.

Magazine noted a fan stating: "I noticed Katya didn't look very happy when Tess was talking to Aljaz and Tasha in the auditorium."

Adding fuel to the speculative fire, another fan commented: "I noticed that too. I wonder if Katya is the female pro who Aljaz 'fell out with' on the tour? Or I could just be reading too much into things as usual."

Chaos has ensued in the world of Strictly Come Dancing following reports that not all were thrilled with Aljaz Skorjanec's reentry onto the beloved dance floor. The professional dancer had bid farewell in 2022, amidst whispers of a dispute with a female colleague during the live tour.

An insider revealed: "They actively recruited a dancer who left under a cloud. Aljaz was touted as an unproblematic, returning legend but that couldn't be further from the truth. Most were relieved to see him go back then and are aghast he's been given a free pass back."

Alijaz's representatives responded, saying: "Aljaz has the utmost respect for everyone he works with. He chose to leave the show in 2022 of his own accord but he has always loved Strictly and was delighted to be asked back. It is un'true' to say or suggest he was forced out or that he acted in an aggressive manner at any time. He is excited to make his return to the dance floor this year."
