Major Strictly 'clue' that pro and celeb are in backstage feud, suggest eagle-eyed fans

Strictly Come Dancing's Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova may not be best buds, according to some eagle-eyed fans.

The duo took to the dance floor on Saturday with a quickstep, which earned them five points from the judges, but viewers reckon they spotted some 'friction' between the pair.

There were reports of the Bros star, 53, appearing to 'pull' Nadiya, 33, into shot when they were talking to host Claudia Winkleman.

One person tweeted: “So I have watched again when Matt Goss pulled Nadiya into the camera spot that all are talking about. I sense many arguments between them too #strictly.”

Another said: “Poor Nadiya, I get the feeling that #MattGoss is gonna be hard work.#Strictly #strictlycomedancing.”

While a third said: “Really didn’t like what I just saw. It made Matt look controlling and desperate.”

However, before the show, Matt tweeted his was "proud to announce" his dance partner was the "lovely Nadiya".

The Mirror has contacted Matt's reps for comment.

It's not the first time the singer has been accused of not getting on with his Strictly co-stars.

Viewers have also been speculating that judge Shirley Ballas may have an issue with the singer in response to her critiquing of his quickstep.

Following the first live show of the new series on Saturday night, the head judge 62, told Matt that whilst he has "a lot of potential," in her opinion, the routine "fell a little bit apart".

Her issues with the performance included his body position, with Shirley explaining to the star: "You will get away with a foot error. You won't get away with a bad frame".

Speculating over the 'friction', one viewer tweeted: "Anyone else feel like Shirley [Ballas] and Matt Goss had some kind of beef before the show started."

However, a rep for Shirley told us it is "absolutely untrue".

After the judges' score of just 20 out of a possible 40, fans were left fuming saying 80s heartthrob Matt had 'one of best dances' of the night.

One viewer wrote: "Matt Goss' quickstep literally one of best dances so far tonight, and gets the lowest score so far from the judges. What the?!? Some very random scoring tonight."

While another asked: "How was Matt Goss the second lowest score? There were far worse."

Strictly returns to BBC One on Saturday at 6.30pm
