The latest Strictly news has seen 2022 star Jayde Adams become embroiled in a “feud” with one of the show’s ex-professional dancers, Joanne Clifton.
Jayde, who was eliminated on the fifth week of the glitzy BBC One show, clapped back at Joanne following her comments over Jayde’s co-star Helen Skelton.

The comedian and partner Karen Hauer were one of two same-sex couples on the 20th series of Strictly.
However, the pair were booted from the show during week five after losing the dance-off to Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu.
Despite her exit from the show, which comes to an end this Saturday (December 17), Jayde has continued to show her support to the remaining celebs.
So much so that she recently hit out at a former pro dancer on the show, following their comments about Helen Skelton, who will compete in the final.
Strictly news: Jayde Adams hits back at Strictly pro dancer Joanne Clifton
Earlier this week, Jayde became embroiled in a Twitter spat with former pro dancer Joanne Clifton.
Helen Skelton's journey is like no other, her new confidence needs to stay, says Joanne Clifton#Strictlyhttps://t.co/LwVWYC09mR

Joanne shared her thoughts on the final four celebs in the Daily Express with the headline: “Helen Skelton’s journey is like no other, her new confidence needs to stay, JOANNE CLIFTON.”
Following the article being published, Jayde was quick to respond to Joanne’s comments and called her out on Twitter.
Posting a link to an article, Jayde penned: “Before #Strictly Helen was the 2nd woman only to finish 78-mile Namibian ultra marathon 23h 45. Kayaked the Amazon, tightroped 150m over Battersea Power Station, cycled to the South Pole, TV, radio, sports career & had 3 babies one she birthed herself.
“Not confident? HAHAHAHA.”

Hitting back the following day, Joanne re-shared Jayde’s tweet and wrote: “Not sure about this comment.”
The dancer added: “I’m quite obviously commenting on her confidence in Ballroom dancing, not her life. Coz my article is OBVS about Strictly.
“Maybe we should say positive things, encourage them & celebrate them being Finalists instead of making something negative out of it?”
Helen herself is yet to comment on the spat…
