Oh dear: there's trouble in Strictly Come Dancing paradise. Judge Craig Revel Horwood has been stirring the pot by suggesting that pro Kristina Rihanoff was "gutted" to be paired with Daniel O'Donnell, while another report suggested that Oti Mabuse thought her celeb Anthony Ogogo was an "arsehole" before they started working together (Anthony's insisted that's not true).
But both of those duos could have had it a lot worse, as these six disastrous partnerships from the past prove:
1. Lynda Bellingham & Darren Bennett (series seven, 2009)
How far did they get? Finished in 13th place
What's the problem? We didn't know it at the time, but Lynda's widower Michael Pattemore revealed in his book My Lynda that she didn't get on with her partner Darren - because he was a "miserable git" who wanted to dance solidly with No Fun Allowed. "Even when they went for a cup of coffee afterwards, she...

Lynda Bellingham thought her Strictly Come Dancing partner Darren Bennett was "such a miserable git", according to her husband Michael Pattemore.
The late TV star, who died of cancer aged 66 last year, is said to have hated her 2009 stint on the BBC One ballroom competition due to the unflattering costumes and her professional dance partner.
In an extract from Pattemore's new book My Lynda, he writes: "There were two things about Strictly she didn't like. One was her body image. She always thought she looked fat. I kept saying she didn't.
"She picked this ruched gold dress and she said it made her look 20 times bigger than what she was."
He went on to claim that the actress and broadcaster had "no fun" with Bennett - who starred on Strictly for five years from 2004.
"And the other thing, she said her partner Darren Bennett was such a miserable git," he wrote.

The stars of Loose Women will pay tribute to Lynda Bellingham at the National Television Awards tonight (January 21).
Panellists Coleen Nolan, Kaye Adams, Linda Robson, Sherrie Hewson, Jane Moore, Janet Street Porter and Jamelia will wear black outfits with orange accessories, the colours of the charity Action Against Cancer.
Bellingham was heavily involved with the charity before her death in October. She died at the age of 66 following a battle with cancer.
Her husband, Michael Pattemore, has since become the charity's ambassador.
Nolan said: "Cancer affects so many lives and families and anything that might raise awareness of the work that these charities do is worthwhile.
"Lynda was such a fantastic Loose Woman and an incredible friend. She is always in our thoughts."
Pattemore added: "Lynda would be so proud to see so many people supporting Action Against Cancer, which is such a great charity... one day we will beat this disease.
