James Jordan clashed on Twitter with Strictly judge Shirley Ballas after he accused Russian dancers of ‘ignoring the Ukraine invasion’.
James tweeted he was “very disappointed” he hadn’t noted Russian performers he has previously worked with speaking out against Putin.
The former Strictly pro, 43, became embroiled in a spat with Shirley following his comments. Yesterday, she warned dancers against bragging online herself as the crisis continues.
James Jordan: What he said on Twitter
He complained on Twitter this morning (Sunday February 27): “I don’t see many of the Russian dancers I know and have even shared the Strictly dance floor with them openly speaking out about the war against Ukraine.
“But [they] are still promoting themselves on social media – very disappointed. They know who they are – not one post about it.”

James went on to vent his fury in further tweets but did not name anyone in particular he was referring to.
However, he indicated again they may be someone who has similarly spent time on Strictly.
