Tony Adams has 'called out' his Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Katya Jones for a brutal remark she made backstage after their performance last weekend.

Tony and Katya have continued to defy bookies' odds by staying in Strictly, despite consistently being near the bottom of the leaderboard since week one.
