Strictly stars James Jordan and Shirley Ballas engage in Twitter spat over Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Strictly Come Dancing stars James Jordan and Shirley Ballas engaged in a Twitter spat over Russian dancers remaining silent amid the invasion of Ukraine.

The squabble started after ex-Strictly professional James said he was "very disappointed" that many Russian dancers he knew had failed to address the crisis on social media.

He wrote: "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 (sic) post about it."
