Jade Johnson's Serious Jive Talking

Jade Johnson has fallen out with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner over their latest routine.

Olympic long-jumper Jade has been struggling to master the fast-paced jive with partner Ian Waite in time for this week's special show in Blackpool on Saturday (07.11.09), leading to strong words between her and Ian.

Being a contestant on 'Strictly' is not an easy ride whether you're a celebrity or a professional

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Jade is a really strong personality. She's in it to win it and she won't accept second best from herself - or Ian.

"They are getting very frustrated and Jade is used to picking things up much more quickly than this. There have been a lot of a cross words and everything has got a bit emotional."

Jade, 29, and Ian, 38, previously fell out when they struggled with the samba and ended up in the bottom two back in Week Six.

They scored a person best last Saturday (31.10.09) however, when they picked up 35 out of 40 for their foxtrot.

A BBC source revealed: "They are falling out, but they always make up. Everything looks effortless on the dance floor but in reality it's a long and hard slog. Being a contestant on 'Strictly' is not an easy ride whether you're a celebrity or a professional."
