James Jordan and Shirley Ballas in online clash over Strictly pros' reaction to Ukraine war

Strictly Come Dancing stars James Jordan and Shirley Ballas have clashed online, after the former pro dancer accused some of the show's Russian pros of failing to acknowledge the conflict in Ukraine.

As the Russian invasion of its Eastern European neighbour continued to dominate headlines over the weekend, James took to Twitter to post: "I don’t see many of the Russian dancers I know and have even shared the Strictly dance floor with them openly speaking out about the war against Ukraine.

But are still promoting themselves on social media - very disappointed. They know who they are - not 1 post about it."
