Strictly fans spot ‘feud’ and claim pro is ‘uncomfortable’ with celeb partner

Strictly Come Dancing fans reckon there's a 'feud' going on behind the scenes of the show amid reports one of the dancers is "uncomfortable".

As the race for the Glitterball trophy gathers pace, viewers have suggested EastEnders star, Bobby Brazier, 20 and his professional partner Dianne Buswell, 34, were less than pleased with the judge's comments on Saturday. The pair got tongues wagging after their steamy Argentine Tango, which ended in a near-kiss.

However, after a mixed review from the panel, several fans thought the couple looked annoyed with judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one viewer mused: "Loads of Argentine Tangos end like that. Most of them. Dianne did seem a bit uncomfortable though and they were both definitely p***ed off with the scores." Another added: "They're not happy with those judges" while a third suggested: "He [Bobby] looked annoyed and clearly is so in love, it’s a shame."

Other viewers agreed Dianne looked distinctly "uncomfortable" after the dance, in which former model Bobby huffed and puffed his way across the dance floor with brooding passion in theme with the style of danced. One viewer wrote: "What I found very uncomfortable viewing was the interview directly following the dance where he was stood with his arm round her and stroking her finger. I noticed she subtly moved her hand but then that left his hand free and he hung it lower over her shoulders and she then took his hand again to move it away from her. I could be wrong, but to me it looked like she was uncomfortable with what he was doing and was trying to shift things without looking like she was moving away."

Much has been made of the pair's sizzling chemistry with reports Dianne is hurt over cruel comments being made about the relationship by fans of her boyfriend, Joe Sugg. However, on Good Morning Britain today she insisted her titillating Tango was simply a performance.

Speaking to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, she said: "The thing I love so much about dancing is being able to tell a story. It's like acting isn't it. We obviously did the dance the correct way if that's what's being said [romance rumours] because that is the Argentine Tango." Bobby, meanwhile said the dance was his favourite so far, explaining he loved performing and was ready to "turn it all the way up".

Dianne's boyfriend, Joe Sugg, also told fans he loved the dance on Saturday taking to Instagram with a video of the pair in action, gushing how proud he was of the pair. And, in terms of his Tango with Dianne, even body language expert Judi James said the near-kiss shouldn't be seen as "authentic" as she told The Mirror: "All pro dancers are trained to excel at the look of passion and it can often mislead the audience into believing they’ve seen something authentic and spontaneous, so although this particular near-kiss did get our jaws dropping it shouldn’t be seen as a sign of anything authentic. It’s when the couples are off the floor that their body language becomes easier to translate."
