Strictly Come Dancing fans are buzzing with speculation about a possible spat between professional dancer Johannes Radebe and judge Anton Du Beke.

On Saturday night, Johannes and his dance partner Montell Douglas impressed everyone with their Viennese Waltz, scoring an impressive 33 out of 40.

The pair received high praise from the judges, especially Shirley Ballas, but it was Johannes's personal challenge regarding Anton that caught attention.

After receiving positive comments, Johannes disclosed his aim to stop Anton from giving one of his trademark standing tutorials, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Speaking to Claudia Winkleman post-performance, Johannes openly shared his goal for the night. Claudia added: "What I love about JoJo is that your main aim - and he doesn't know this - was not to get a demonstration from Anton."

Johannes humorously confirmed: "I said to Montell at the beginning of the week that the last thing I want to see is Anton standing up and reminding us of how to go into a hold for the thousandth time."

He appeared to get his wish as Anton avoided giving a demonstration and simply stated that the performance was his "favourite of the night."

However, according to OK!, this revelation sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with some believing there's a feud between them.

One social media user teased: "JoJo roasting Anton."

Another contributed: "Good to know that Johannes has also had enough of Anton."

A third viewer didn't hold back their thoughts, saying: "Johannes kinda real as f*** for that we don't need an Anton demo every week."

While another social media user was quick to point out: "JoJo calling Anton out."

The drama, however, wasn't confined solely to these outspoken call-outs, as the dynamic between Wynne Evans and his dance partner, Katya Jones, also became a hot topic among observant fans.

During one of Saturday night's scenes, audiences spotted Katya apparently rejecting a high-five from Wynnea slight that did not escape notice.

Adding to the on-screen tension, a subsequent exchange between Wynne and Katya struck many as particularly 'awkward,' leaving some viewers to describe the atmosphere as 'uncomfortable'.

All eyes were on the pair when, amidst a group that included fellow competitors and host Claudia Winkleman, Wynne attempted to casually put his hand around Katya's waist, only for her to subtly but decidedly move away.

This uncomfortable interaction stirred quite the buzz online, prompting Katya and Wynne to confront the subject in a candid Instagram video.

Kicking off the video, Katya said: "Hello everybody it's Wynne and Katya here. We just wanted to say we were just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry."

She then adds, "It was a silly joke," with Wynne jumping in with an apologetic: "Yes, sorry".

Explaining further through the post's caption, the opera singer stated: "Apologies for this tonight we were just messing around. We really are amazing friends. The high 5's is a running joke. Have a great evening @katyajones."

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One from 6:25pm
