The 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge is reportedly finding it hard to work with the 50-year-old dancer, so much so that he is considering quitting the BBC One show.
A source said: "Bruno is at the end of his tether, with Craig in particular. Last week Bruno came off set saying if Craig is back next year, he won't be."
The news has worried the show's bosses as Darcey Bussell is also said to be fed up of the "negative energy" behind the scenes.
An insider added: "Darcey has said she has had enough of the negative energy in the show. When the cameras aren't rolling things can get bitchy."
However, her spokesperson has denied she is planning to "walk away" from the show.
They told the Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Darcey loves being part of 'Strictly'. There's no way she'd walk away any time soon."
Meanwhile, 'Strictly' hopeful and 'EastEnders' star Kellie Bright has revealed she has been on strong painkillers since week two, after she injured her left hip during training.
She shared: "I've had a left hip issue since the cha-cha in week two and it's never really gone away.
"And I don't think it will really until I stop and rest. I am having physio for it, yes. My body isn't used to it."
