Strictly Come Dancing are convinced they've spotted a feud between two stars after spotting a clue tonight.
The show said goodbye to its latest celebrity tonight as it reached the half way mark of the competition. Love Island star Zara McDermott found herself booted off the show this evening after Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk won the dance-off.
However, fans were left distracted after seemingly noticing a 'feud' brewing between the two celebrities in the dance-off after spotting a series of clues during tonight's episode of the BBC One Latin and ballroom show.

Regardless of how she feels Adam was better than her in the main dance and in the dance off it’s how the cookie crumbles." A third shared: "Absolutely. Seen someone else say somewhere that Adam wasn’t applauding Zara but Luba was," with a fourth writing: "Lol at Adam not clapping along for Zara while Luba does... I get the feeling Adam and Zara are not the best of friends backstage."
In her exit speech, Zara thanked her professional dance partner Graziano di Prima and described being on the show as one of the best things that had happened to her. Heaping praise on her co-stars, she said: "I have had the time of my life. Just to be here is incredible. Thank you to the judges and my amazing partner obviously. My fellow contestants are just incredible. It has been the most amazing experience. I can’t believe it’s over but I am going to be here in spirit every week supporting them."

Graziano told Zara that she was what the show was all about, as he added: "She has been great for me 8:00am till 21:00pm. Never stopping asking just for a half an hour break. She is literally what Strictly is all about. A real novice, coming in, putting all the hard job. You have such a good soul. You are so humble and I say thank you that I found a friend like you. I have learnt so much from you. And your hard work within six weeks. You have never danced before. I am so proud of you. So proud of you honestly."
Next week, the remaining celebrities will dance once more in the hope of avoiding being the seventh star to leave the show. With Blackpool edging ever closer, the celebrities will no doubt pull out all the stops to secure their place in the following week's show.
