Strictly's Nancy Xu and Carlos Gu Sever Friendship

Strictly Come Dancing professionals Nancy Xu and Carlos Gu, once childhood friends, have reportedly severed their friendship due to Carlos not being assigned a celebrity partner while Nancy was paired with Shayne Ward. This fallout has led to an awkward and tense atmosphere on set, further exacerbated by Carlos unfollowing Nancy on social media and removing her from his Instagram profile. Despite their personal issues, both dancers are maintaining professionalism on the show. Carlos is reportedly subdued and away from family, adding to backstage tensions already present due to other dancers' personal matters. Producers are particularly concerned about preventing incidents following previous bullying allegations. Additionally, other dancers like Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova are reportedly avoiding each other post-breakup.
