Strictly’s Katya Jones reportedly unleashed her fury behind the scenes of the BBC One show just moments before she and partner Adam Peaty were booted off the series.
The Russian pro dancer, 32, ranted about their low scores from the judges before officially getting kicked out of the all-dancing competition.
Katya and Olympic legend Adam, 26, were left in tears during their exit on Sunday.
A TV insider said: “Katya was absolutely furious during filming not just because the dance hadn’t gone as well as they hoped but by the low marks they received.
“Both Katya and Adam were in tears after a week in which they’d thrown their all into getting the routine right.

“And though it hadn’t gone perfectly, both of them were shocked at being at the bottom of the scoreboard and finding themselves in the dance-off after the public vote. So getting shown the door on Sunday was utterly devastating.”
The source continued to The Sun: “Katya was emotional after their performance on Saturday, and shed a few tears backstage as they’d worked so hard and put their all into it, so naturally they were gutted to not get a higher score.

“I think everyone could see how much it meant to both of them in the results show with their emotions spilling over.”
Katya said Adam was so good that they could have got to the Strictly final — while his mum also publicly lashed out at the judges’ “unfair” scoring.
His mum Caroline called the show “a total farce” and said: “Total fix and I’m not buying the public vote.
“I believe in fairness, it’s frustrating when you can see from the start that it isn’t, that is all.”

Adam’s mum Caroline later retweeted another viewer who posted: “You do realise AJ, Rhys, Rose all work for the BBC, yeah?”
Caroline lashed out online after her son lost in the dance-off to Tilly Ramsay and partner Nikita Kuzmin.
She tweeted: “The judging is not consistent or fair, not just with Adam either! And just so you know I am a kind person. Proud of @adam_peaty and @Mrs_katjones such an amazing partnership and @Mrs_katjones you have taught my baby boy how to dance, thank you x.”
The couple scored 27 points on Saturday night for their Fifties-themed jive – one point lower than Dan Walker and pro partner Nadiya Bychkova.
