James has been embroiled in a social media spat with Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas after she urged dancers to 'show sympathy to Ukraine'.

The pro, who had slammed Russian dancers for remaining tight-lipped in the wake of their country's invasion of the Baltic state, noted that Shirley had questioned his decision to speak out despite clearly having a 'similar sentiment' to him.

It comes in the wake of Russian Strictly pro Kristina Rihanoff's apology after she wrote she didn't give a s**t about the war,' in a controversial Twitter post.

James had previously tweeted: 'I don't see many of the Russian dancers I know and have even shared the Strictly dance floor with them openly speaking out about the war against Ukraine [the country's flag].

'But are still promoting themselves on social media - very disappointed [sad face] They know who they are - not 1 post about it [sic]'. 

In a later tweet he then noted: 'If they are too scared to speak out against wrong then stay the f**k off social media for a while and stop with the self-promotion during this horrific time.

'Have some respect. Or… maybe they are not speaking out because they are brainwashed too.'

Raging: James had originally taken to social media on Saturday to call out Russian dancers who were staying tight-lipped on their homeland's invasion of Ukraine

Shirley then responded to James' tweet, writing: 'Taking issue with Jordan's impassioned post, Shirley claimed she knew plenty of Russian dancers speaking up against Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine. 

'Dear James, not sure who you follow and who follows you. Many dancers I know have retweeted in support of Ukraine and have felt shame at their own government.

'Lots of help for their fellow dancers Lots have spoken out and retweeted.'

But James was then quick to note that just a day earlier Shirley herself had taken to social media pleading with dancers to 'show some sensitivity towards the suffering Ukraine.'

Controversy: Shirley responded to James' tweet by noting she had seen dancers sharing their support for Ukraine, and fury towards Russia

He tweeted: 'Why post this yesterday then? A similar sentiment to me.'

Shirley's original post read: 'Dancers please, just for a few days show some sensitivity towards the suffering in Ukraine... you don't need to promote yourselves, your shows, competitions and teaching every single day... 

'Your colleagues, students, competitors and their families are in the middle of a shocking war and need your support... YOUR business can wait. Show some respect. We are one family. '
