STRICTLY Come Dancing fans think they have spotted a secret feud between Craig Revel-Horwood and Motsi Mabuse.
Throughout the series the pair, who sit next to each other on the judging panel, have enjoyed a bit of back and forth, but viewers think there could be more to it than meets the eye.
This weekend the pair bickered over the scoring for Rhys Stephenson, who ended up getting sent home.
After watching a VT about the CBBC star’s progress, Craig insisted he was the only one to see potential in Rhys and declared: “You should have heard, actually, what they said that wasn’t on the camera.
“I could repeat it now, but I won’t. Just saying.”
Motsi scolded him calling him “naughty”, before adding: “You are not invited anymore in the room!”
Craig hit back and mocked Motsi’s look by comparing her to Diana Ross. He quipped: “Listen Diana Ross!”
Those watching at home spotted the tension and went online to comment on it.
One person wrote: “If those screens didn’t have to be there, I’m pretty sure Motsi would have clocked Craig with her paddle a few times #Strictly.”
A second added: “Unnecessary diana ross quip from craig revel-horwood towards motsi there! After her piece earlier today about the flak she got for having ‘big hair’ as a kid… #StrictlyComeDancing #strictly.”
While a third remarked: “I think he has been genuinely irritated by her.”
Earlier in the series, cracks appeared to start to show – again during a row over Rhys.
“I have to admit I have a bit of a headache actually and it has something to do with Motsi’s lime green outfit,” Craig said during the judging.
The dancer clapped back amid giggles from the audience: “This man and my outfit. You are obsessed with me – we know. It’s OK.”
“You might like to think so darling but that is not the case,” the choreographer responded as he looked angrily in her direction.
Meanwhile, The Celeb Report revealed that Motsi has already signed her contract to return to the series next year.
