Strictly ‘feud’ revealed as finalists snub co-star after ‘backstage mood swings’
ANOTHER Strictly Come Dancing cast feud has emerged after one axed star has been snubbed.
The remaining three celebrities – Layton Williams, Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach – will battle it out on BBC1 at 7pm tomorrow night to lift the sought after Glitterball Trophy.
However, it apparently isn’t all glitter and sparkles backstage at Strictly.
Actor Nigel Harman, has now become embroiled in a feud with his co-stars as they mutually snubbed each-other on social media.
Surprisingly, none of the finalists follow Nigel, but they do follow other stars who have appeared in the series.
Nigel also only follows 13 people – with the finalists not included.
Earlier this month, Nigel was accused of having backstage mood swings, which left the crew relieved when he was forced to leave the programme.
A Strictly insider said: “Nigel takes himself very seriously as a performer and throws himself heart and soul into things.
“So obviously he’s very emotional if things don’t go as he hoped. That often means that he can be like a bear with a sore head backstage.
“Viewers got a glimpse of that when he received disappointing scores for their quickstep in Blackpool.
“The crew and pros on the show are like a close family and the celebrities are welcomed into that. But if someone upsets that long-standing dynamic it can create bad feeling.
“Despite this, it is always sad when a contestant leaves the show, particularly when an injury is sustained. They wish Nigel the very best and look forward to seeing him at the final on Saturday December 16.”
The Casualty and EastEnders actor had once been tipped to win the 2023 series, before he and partner Katya Jones were forced to bow out of the competition.
He was forced to quit the 21st series of the show due to a rib injury.
The news was confirmed on Saturday, December 2, just hours before the BBC show’s quarter-finals.
Nigel’s supposed feud comes after former co-star Amanda Abbington has been surrounded by rumours of a feud with her professional partner Giovanni Pernice.
