Nancy, 33, and Carlos, 31, both grew up in China and have been close since childhood but it was recently revealed they are currently refusing to speak.
It has been claimed that tensions sparked between the formerly close pals when Carlos was left disappointed not to be paired with a celebrity this series.
Meanwhile, Nancy has apparently been busy rehearsing with her partner Shayne Ward, 40, and the atmosphere between them has ‘shocked’ everyone.
An insider told The Sun: ‘The feud between Nancy and Carlos is really sad and has left everyone really shocked. They’ve been close since childhood, but have fallen out and unfollowed each other on socials.’
The source added: ‘The atmosphere on set is said to be awkward and tense when both are around, and to many it was a relief when Carlos didn’t attend the show weeks ago’.
However, a source told MailOnline that the dancers are doing their best to keep it professional while at work, saying: ‘Carlos and Nancy are extremely cordial and always incredibly professional on Strictly premises.’
It comes after fans noticed them awkwardly keeping their distance in the ‘Clauditorium’ during Saturday night’s show.
Just hours after the live episode aired on the BBC it was claimed that the pair have had a ‘shocking’ falling out and are now refusing to speak behind the scenes.

The BBC refused to comment and MailOnline have contacted representatives for Nadiya and Kai.
The couple reportedly ended their two-year romance after ’emotionally drifting away from each other,’ with sources claiming the pressures of touring together took a toll on their relationship.
Speaking to The Mirror earlier this month Nadiya revealed that she and Kai are still working on Strictly, despite not having celebrity partners, and they’ll always keep things professional when they dance together.
