BBC Strictly feud 'exposed' as fan-favourite takes swipe at judge live on-air
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing believe they’ve spotted a feud between the show’s pro-dancer Johannes Radebe and judge Anton Du Beke. Johannes and his celebrity partner, Montell Douglas took to their floor last night (Saturday 12 December) with a Viennese Waltz which impressed both the audience and the judges.
Montell and Johannes were awarded a very impressive 33 out of 40 and high praise from the panel, especially Shirley Ballas. After hearing from the judges, Johannes confessed that there was one thing that he really didn’t want to see from one man in the panel - Anton standing up.
When Johannes and Montell made their way upstairs to chat with host Claudia Winkleman, he confessed his main aim was to stop Anton from getting out of his chair. Claudia said: “What I love about JoJo is that your main aim - and he doesn’t know this - was not to get a demonstration from Anton.”

Johannes confessed she was right and joked: “I said to Montell at the beginning of the week that the last thing I want to see is Anton standing up and reminding us of how to go into hold for the thousandth time.” Luckily, all that Anton had to say about their dance was that it was his “favourite dance of the night”.
Fans, however, picked up on the tension after Johannes’ confession, as one wrote on social media: "JoJo roasting Anton." A second added: "Good to know that Johannes has also had enough of Anton."
A third wrote: "Johannes kinda real as f*** for that we don’t need an Anton demo every week.” Another added: "JoJo calling Anton out."
That’s not the only thing that fans picked up during the show; there was also awkwardness spotted between Wynne Evans and his partner, Katya Jones. At one point during Saturday night’s episode, Katya refused to high-five her celebrity partner, Wynne. The spotted snub was followed by another 'awkward' encounter from the pair which viewers labelled 'uncomfortable'.
The encounter happened while Wynne and Katya stood with their co-stars and host Claudia, Wynne moved his hand along Katya's waist towards her midriff, but in response, she moved it away very quickly. After the clips went viral on social media, Katya and Wynne issued an apology in an Instagram video.
Katya began with: "Hello everybody it's Wynne and Katya here. We just wanted to say we were just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry."
"It was a silly joke," before Wynne added: "Yes, sorry". The opera singer then wrote in the caption: "Apologies for this tonight we were just messing around. We really are amazing friends. The high 5's is a running joke. Have a great evening @katyajones."
