BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Tony Adams and Katya Jones address tense moment caught on show during ITV Good Morning Britain appearance

Strictly Come Dancing pair Tony Adams and Katya Jones have been questioned on a reported tense moment that was caught on camera at the end of the latest live show. The professional dancer looked disappointed following their routine on Saturday night.

Former footballer Tony and Katya were the last couple of the night to perform and they tore up the dancefloor on the BBC One dance contest with their salsa to I Know You Want Me by Pitbull. However, as they faced the judges they looked gutted as they were pulled up on mistakes.

Katya spoke out when head judge Shirley Ballas said: "Tony, I actually thought you tried to give me a rotation when you stepped back." Looking upset she told Shirley: "He did, all week, do you want to see it again?" As Tony clapped his hand to his head, Shirley reassured him: "Tony don't despair. You had a lovely sense of line in the middle, and you had some nice rotation."

Despite some constructive criticism, the pair languished at the bottom of the leaderboard with just 21 points out of 40.

But just before the credits rolled on the show, Tony and Katya looked as though they were in the middle of an intense discussion on the dancefloor as hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly jovially drew the latest action in the ballroom to a close.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (November 9), Tony and Katya were quizzed by the latter's former dance partner and Ed Balls on what happened on Saturday night. Discussing the footage, Tony said: "We constantly argue, don't we?" And Katya could be heard laughing, before joking: "Yeah, we just don't like each other at all. We don't get on."

But Tony then went on to praise Katya, for her "genius" and the routines that she has been working on with him. He said: "We're at two months together now and she's been training me, she's a genius.

"The routine she's putting on is incredible and sometimes, when I miss a step, she's a little bit overcritical at times. And I just want to have a good time as well. So I think it’s a balance between maybe letting me make a mistake and enjoying myself a little bit at times… I’m not an expert in this field.”

Tony also revealed that he’s "just trying to throw a few shapes on a Saturday night" and how he "cried for the first month - physically, emotionally, mentally in bits… every week you’re learning a new skill and it’s just brutal."
