Her smile of greeting looked more like a baring of the teeth as she clasped and shook his hands as she told him, ‘We’re a team now’."She added: "Poor Tony stood waiting for her with his hands stuffed into his pockets in a gesture that suggests a desire to hide."Judi believes that Katya's face gave all the clues away, despite a "reassuring" pat on Tony's shoulder.On Saturday night, Katya and Tony performed a Tango to the song Go West, but the judges weren't too impressed.Anton Du Beke told Tony: "As you come out, we don't know what your routine is, and as it turns out, neither do you."Katya slapped back: "He does! Can we have another go please."But former pro dancer Anton replied: "That's the unfortunate thing about this show, you only get one go."Despite that, fans reckon Loose Women star Kaye Adams will be the first to be eliminated.One fan tweeted: "Oh dear Kaye.
