It’s usually all smiles and hugs for the camera on Strictly Come Dancing, but it looks like one couple are definitely not seeing eye-to-eye in this series.

According to reports, star Steve Backshall has lodged a formal complaint to the BBC against his professional dance partner, Ola Jordan, claiming that she is 'bullying' him.

The 41-year-old presenter has accused Ola of being ‘rude and impatient’ during their rehearsals for the show, something which he claims has damaged his confidence.

A source told the MailOnline: “Steve is a very bouncy personality, up for any challenge, but Ola’s harsh treatment has flattened him and made him lose confidence.”

“Ola is a cold and very distant personality, who refuses to mix with Steve’s family and friends,” the source added.

The BBC have clearly taken the complaint very seriously and have assigned a chaperone to oversee their rehearsals for the rest of the series.

All eyes will be on Ola and Steve tonight, then.
