Nigel and Katya received 31 points out of a possible 40 from the judges following their routine to Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean A Thing. Although the score was good, Nigel was reportedly not pleased with it.

A source who was allegedly in the audience at the time told Daily Mail: "Nigel was super pumped up for the show, unlike the other celebrities they all interacted with fans as they took to their seats off camera after being introduced, but he was just in the zone, he ignored people saying hello to him. And it all kicked off when he got his scores from the judges.

"When the cameras stopped rolling he stormed back to his seat and beckoned his wife over, you could tell she knew what was coming," The insider explained.

The source claimed that Nigel's wife attempted to "pacify" him but it didn't work as he took his "disappointment" out on her. The onlooker said Katya tried to console Lucy when Nigel waked as she looked visibly upset.

A spokesperson for the BBC told Daily Star: "This is a personal story, so we wouldn’t comment on this." Daily Star has contacted Nigel's representatives for comment.

On Saturday, the BBC released a statement to confirm that Nigel will no longer be taking part in Strictly. The former EastEnders star was due to perform a Charleston to Step in Time from Disney's Mary Poppins during the live quarter-finals.

A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: "Unfortunately Nigel has sustained a rib injury which means he is unable to perform in tonight’s show and has had to withdraw from Strictly.”

Despite this, Nigel will head back to Strictly Come Dancing as part of the grand final. The final of this year's series is scheduled to take place on December 16th.
