Host Gethin said: "I remember on Saturday night Katya was shouting, 'Focus' in his face. I am sure you can relate to that Karen." To which, Karen replied: "Absolutely, I mean, you see these guys working so hard during the week and sometimes they get it correct and everything is in the right order."

She continued: "If there is too much enjoyment, you forget, if there is not enough enjoyment [you forget]. There is a nice little balance of focus and enjoyment which takes years to master but bless him, he literally is trying his best."

Karen added: "I am there for him but I can see how much Katya adores him and she knows he had been doing it correctly the whole week and it just took too much excitement and it just went downhill. What I was happy about was that he didn't drop her - all those lifts were incredible."

However, Oti was quick to remark: "Yeah, Katya is not one to keep quiet, she will tell you wherever you are."

Following the apparent confrontation, Katya quickly dispelled any rumours of a conflict by heaping praise on the former footballer.

"THANK YOU for voting us through to week 8!! We are beyond grateful," she wrote on Instagram. "And we hope you can see how hard we are trying! So if you want to see us dance another week, we will keep doing so trying our best!

"@tonyadamsofficial impresses me every day! I'm just loving every single day teaching him to dance, seeing his improvement and growth!"

She added: "We are not here to play it safe, cause life really begins at the end of your comfort zone! Let's gooooo." A short while later, Tony wrote on Instagram Stories: "Thanks to everyone who voted for us to dance again. Let's go Jive."
