And not in the romantic sense.
British actor, Danny John Jules is at the centre of controversy following allegations that he has been issued with a warning from Strictly bosses after arguing with dance partner, Amy.
Danny was the first celebrity to receive a ten from the judges, but last week the celebrity struggled with the Quickstep to ‘Freedom’ by Pharrell Williams which scored the couple just 22 from the judges, who said the performance contained “many mistakes” while Craig Revel Horwood said it “went completely out of whack”.
Today, The Sun reported that twenty-seven-year-old dance partner Amy stormed out of training and told BBC bosses she wanted to quit. A source told The Sun:
“Danny swears and shouts at Amy a lot. She’s in bits.”
The publication continues to say that Danny was subsequently issued with a warning from the Strictly team for “bullying”.

While Amy has not yet commented on the story, Danny appeared to allude to the contarversory in a recent tweet:
My conscience has never been clearer. I take great pride being hunted down by Khaki Wearing, Doberman holding,Tobacco chewing, Cross eyed, Cousin producing, Banjo playing, Chair rocking, Night riding, Sheet wearing, Pointy hatted, illiterate, hacks who’s truth is driven by hate??

He also retweeted a number of tweets that supported the former Red Dwarf actor:
What a lot of tripe from the Sun.
In this day and age if there was even an allegation of bullying it wouldn’t be a warning it would be straight expulsion. And I’d bet the shirt off my back that the strictly contract spells that out in very big letters.

Blown out of all proportion as usual by the scum media. We all have stressful work days where we’re tired, peed off or ill, that’s normal! Danny, keep being who you are because we know the truth and we’re behind you with every (dance) step! ♥

The official BBC Strictly Twitter has not yet made any comment on the matter. Saturday night could be a tense watch!
