Katya Jones suffered a 'furious backstage meltdown' over the low marks handed to her and her celebrity partner Adam Peaty on Sunday's Strictly Come Dancing, according to reports.
A source told The Sun that 'emotions spilled over' and Katya, 32, 'was absolutely furious during filming not just because the dance hadn't gone as well as they hoped but by the low marks they received'.
It comes after 26-year-old Olympic swimmer Adam's mother hit out at Strictly, claiming the show is a 'total fix' and she doesn't buy the public vote.

Emotions: A source said Katya, 32, 'was absolutely furious during filming not just because the dance with Adam, 26, hadn't gone as well as they hoped but by the low marks they received'
A source told the paper: 'Both Katya and Adam were in tears after a week in which they'd thrown their all into getting the routine right.
'And though it hadn't gone perfectly, both of them were shocked at being at the bottom of the scoreboard and finding themselves in the dance-off after the public vote. So getting shown the door on Sunday was utterly devastating.'
They added that Katya 'was emotional after their performance on Saturday' and that 'emotions spilled over'.
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Katya, Adam and Strictly for comment.

On Monday's It Takes Two, Adam revealed his departure came at the right time as he was battling pain from injuries.
He said: 'I can say this now, normally I'd keep this under wraps but my ankles were going, my calf was going.
'I was trying to do as many runs as I can but the jive is one of those dances that requires 150%.
'On the Thursday I was like ''Katya, I can't do any more.'' I am an Olympic athlete and I can push through things that most people can't push through but my Achilles is going to go if I keep going.'
However Adam made it to his last show despite the pain and he battled in the dance-off against Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin.

Following a dance off, it sadly was the end of Adam and Katya's Strictly journey as they became the sixth couple to be eliminated from the competition.
When asked by host Rylan Clark-Neal on the Judges' scores for their Jive, Adam said: 'The Judges have a role and I think they did that very fairly. I've got nothing against that and as a competitor, you've got to respect that and I have respect for that.
'But it is what it is, isn't it? I gave absolutely everything to Katya, I gave absolutely everything to myself but hopefully, we gave a good laugh to everyone at home.'
When asked about her partnership with Adam, Katya said: 'We've been so privileged to have our Olympic hero come back from the Olympics and throw himself completely out his comfort zone.
