Strictly’s Katya Jones hints at feud with Tony Adams as the pair are forced off show
STRICTLY Come Dancing professional Katya Jones has hinted at a feud with Tony Adams as the pair were forced off the show.
The ballroom star hit out that she was being “interrupted again” by the former Arsenal player as they said their goodbyes.
Katya, 33, was forced to wave goodbye to the BBC ballroom competition after her celeb partner Tony, 56, was injured.
Tonight host Tess Daly revealed his dramatic departure after he found himself bottom of the leaderboard on Saturday night.
She told stunned Strictly viewers: “Due to an injury sustained on Saturday night, Tony is unable to take part in the dance off and has decided to withdraw from the competition.
“This means there will be no dance off tonight and Tyler and Dianne are through to Blackpool.”

Tony and Katya were then given a chance to address the judges, the public at home and each other before waving goodbye.
However, eagle-eyed fans noted a hint at a feud between the pair as Katya hit out that she was being “interrupted” by her partner.
Holding back tears as she made an emotional speech, Katya could be heard saying: “I’ll be forever grateful that I was partnered with you.
“Do you know what I love? I loved us and I loved that we didn’t care what anyone thought, we did every routine our way…”

Tony was quick to interject mid sentence, as he began talking about their “genius” routines and how he made it to week eight.
“Yet again, he interrupted me when I’m speaking,” Katya then hit out in a scathing comment, which was quickly picked up by fans at home.
“Katya telling Tony off for interrupting her in her final speech and he promptly interrupted her again,” one wrote to Twitter.
Another chimed in: “Body language says it all… Katya hates him,” as a third agreed: “Katya hates him, it’s obvious.”
A fourth penned: “That Tony and Katya exit interview was kinda awkward… It felt like they didn’t get along well?”
As a fifth concluded: “Something has definitely happened between Tony and Katya… She’s trying so hard to mask it but there’s clearly friction and tension between them.”
Tony‘s exit was filmed last night after the live show in which he and Katya performed a jive to Land Of 1,000 Dances by Wilson Pickett.
Following the 1960s-inspired routine starting, in which the ex-footballer performed a roly poly, Tony was in “a lot of pain”.
A TV insider told The Sun: “The star was clearly in a lot of pain and discomfort, which only really kicked in afterwards.
“They are was obviously hugely upset because they were desperate to make it through to Blackpool week.

“The contestant in question was consoled by family and friends in the audience and needed to be comforted.”
Some Strictly viewers felt Tony only made it this far in the competition because of his support from Arsenal fans.
One viewer last week labelled Tony’s progress a “disgrace”, suggesting he only remains in the show because loyal Arsenal fans keep voting for their former captain.
