Could this be the most explosive series yet?

- Chloe Andrews

Strictly At War

As the series approaches its finale, Woman can exclusively reveal how poisonous things are behind the scenes of Strictly Come Dancing. while it’s usually the Strictly curse at play, this time it’s the leading ladies at war!

FEUDING PARTNERS

At the centre of most of this year’s controversy is Alexandra Burke, 29, with the singer linked to a number of rifts with her co-stars – including her dance partner Gorka Marquez.

Our source admits, ‘Alexandra has annoyed everybody with how desperate she is to win.’

Viewers are picking up on her behaviour, with one commenting, ‘Alright girl, you can dance – we know it, we also know you know it!’

The former X Factor winner previously revealed that Gorka, 27, is ‘scared’ of her. ‘There was one time that he stopped mid-dance,’ Alexandra said. ‘And I shouted and screamed at him saying, “You are meant to be a pro, don’t ever stop!” He was like, “Woah, OK!”’
