James Jordan and Shirley Ballas became embroiled in a bitter exchange of words on social media over comments made about the Ukraine crisis.
The 43-year-old former Strictly Come Dancing professional hit out at Shirley, 61, who was head judge on the BBC dance competition, after she took offence to the comments James made about Russian dancers from the show.
James, who is known for his controversial outbursts on Twitter, called out some of his Russian dance colleagues for not condemning the attack on Ukraine and claimed that they continued to "promote themselves" on social media instead.
