Strictly Come Dancing is said to have some tension behind the scenes as the professional dancers are reportedly divided about the return of the Russian dancers.According to the Sun, some of the dancers are calling on producers to make a decision about whether Katya Jones and Luba Mustuk, both 32 and born in Saint Petersburg, should return for the next series.Fellow professionals Nikita Kuzman, 24, and Nadiya Bychkova, 32, are of Ukrainian descent.A source told the Sun: "Tensions are high and there’s a lot of strong feeling about this, some of the dancers would want producers to make a decision and say, 'You can’t come back for the next series.'"Some of the professionals feel it’s in bad taste to have them on the show, it’s been discussed among a group of them and they are concerned about it affecting the programme and causing a backlash."The insider added: "Given they’re on the biggest show on television they are already open to criticism and they worry that this would only invite controversy."
