Strictly Come Dancing star Tony Adams said his professional partner Katya Jones can be ‘over-critical’ as the pair addressed their apparent spat on Saturday.
Tony and Katya appeared to be having a ‘heated argument’ during the closing moments of Saturday's live show as hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly were wrapping up the show.
The former footballer, 56, had made a string of mistakes during his Salsa and ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard with Katya, 33.
They have now addressed the moment during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday morning.
Hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls sat down with the Glitterball hopefuls in the ITV studio and outright asked them if they had been arguing.
With a slight smirk, Tony replied saying they ‘constantly argue’ as Katya interjected and joked: “Yeah we just don’t like each other at all. We don’t get on.”
Tony then added: “We’ve been two months together. She’s a genius. The routine she’s putting on is incredible.”
He then continued: “Sometimes, when I miss a step, she’s a little bit overcritical at times. I just want to have a good time, as well.”
Ed, who was previously partnered with the dance pro during his own Strictly stint, said: “She believes and always thinks you can do better.”
Tony looked slightly coy as he replied: “I think it’s about us between maybe letting me make a mistake and enjoy myself at times.”
Tony went on to open up about his initial struggling adapting to the Strictly rehearsal schedule and admitted he regretted signing up for the show at all.
He said: “I went through the initial stages of, ‘What have I done?’, when the first dance and I was so nervous. Now I’m starting to loosen up a little bit.”
He joked his advice to his first week former self would be ‘Don’t do it!’ before adding: “I just want to throw a few shapes on a Saturday night.”
He continued: “But it’s been an unbelievable experience. I’ve done it to raise awareness of mental health and addiction issues and I’ve discovered I need a little bit of growth myself. This really is an emotional journey.
“I’ve cried for the first month. Physically, mentally, emotionally just in bits. I’ve got nothing to hold onto every week. You’re learning a new skill and it’s just brutal.”
