Strictly Come Dancing’s Carlos Gu has broken his silence over his row with co-star Nancy Xu.

The professional dancers, who both grew up in China, have been close since childhood but currently refuse to speak to each other and no longer follow each other on social media.

It was claimed that tensions arose between the former close friends when Carlos was disappointed at not being paired with a celebrity in this series.

Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden on Friday, for the first time since their falling out, Carlos insisted the pair were “doing fine”.

He said, “We are fine. We have been friends since childhood, and friends argue, we are too close and like brother and sister to completely fall out.

The professional dancers, who both grew up in China, have been close since childhood but currently refuse to speak to each other and no longer follow each other on social media.

An insider said The Sun last week: “The feud between Nancy and Carlos is really sad and really shocked everyone.

“They have been close since childhood, but have fallen out and no longer follow each other on social media.”

“The atmosphere on set is said to be uncomfortable and tense when both are there, and for many it was a relief when Carlos didn’t attend the show weeks ago.”

Meanwhile, a separate source told MailOnline: ‘Carols and Nancy are both extremely cordial and always incredibly professional around the Strictly premises.’

MailOnline is asking the dancers’ representative and the BBC for comment.

In previous seasons, Carlos was paired with TV presenter Angela Scanlon and EastEnders star Molly Rainford.

Shayne Ward and his professional partner Nancy Xu performed a Rumba on Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper Saturday.

According to bookmakers’ odds, this could be the last time they take to the dance floor together, as they are expected to be next in line to receive the kicking.

The odds suggest Shayne and Nancy are unlikely to qualify for next week’s Blackpool special after their odds were reduced to 10/11 to be eliminated from the competition.

The That’s My Goal hitmaker is now favorite to leave the show, closely followed by opera singer Wynne Evans, who has odds of 9/4.

Ladbrokes’ Nicola McGeady said: “As far as the odds and punters go, it looks like Shayne Ward’s Strictly journey will come to an end this weekend.”

Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, explained: “The nine-strong Strictly field will be reduced to eight after this weekend’s show, and Shayne Ward appears in danger of performing his final dance of the competition.

“The English singer is our 11/10 favorite to be the next contestant eliminated from the show after a second appearance on the dance-off last weekend.

“If Ward gets himself out of hot water, Wynne Evans is next in line at 9/4, with JB Gill (6/1) and Pete Wicks (8/1) looking safe enough to secure their place in the next match. the weekend show.
