Craig Revel Horwood and Stacey Dooley get caught up in a war of words during the festive edition of The Wall, which is due to air later this week.
Former Strictly Come Dancing champ Stacey, 33, will be paired with the BBC One judge in the quiz show, which is hosted by Danny Dyer.
Airing on Christmas Eve, the festive special will see Stacey take a swipe at Craig, 55, for failing to give her top marks in the 2018 Strictly finale.
The documentarian was paired with pro dancer Kevin Clifton two years ago on the show, with the duo eventually waltzing their way to victory and winning the Glitterball Trophy,
According to The Sun, Stacey playfully hints at lasting tensions with the Strictly judge in the upcoming episode of The Wall – even though they start off the show by insisting they are good friends.

When Craig leaves the studio to enter a soundproof booth, she reportedly says: “Thanks for nothing in 2018.”
And, when asked about travelling with Craig on the Strictly tour, she apparently adds: “We were always put together. I didn’t ask for that – in fact I asked for the opposite.”
Pro dancer Kevin, who was not assigned a partner in the latest season of Strictly, will reportedly watch the show from the sidelines.
Kevin and Stacey confirmed they were dating in the summer of 2019, and have since moved in together, renovating a historic property and turning it into a home.

In 2018, Craig was forced to issue an apology when he reportedly made a controversial remark about Stacey’s professional relationship with her dance partner.
He reportedly said: “Stacey was dragged up from the dance gutter… Of course, if you sleep with your dance partner that helps.”
Craig later issued an apology, saying: “I’m deeply sorry for the offence caused to Kevin and Stacey and everyone who works on the show.”
A spin-off of the US series of the same name, The Wall sees teams of two battle a display board of trivia questions in the hope of winning cash.

With the second series returning earlier this year, EastEnders actor Danny won viewers over with his wit and charm as a host.
Can he help ease the tensions in the studio between any warring teammates?
The Wall Versus Celebrities will air at 6.55pm on BBC One on Christmas Eve.
