Two rival Strictly Come Dancing personalities are unlikely to reconcile. Nancy Xu appeared visibly displeased after Carlos Gu emerged as the victor alongside Lioness Karen Carney last weekend. The 34-year-old, who once considered Carlos, 32, a lifelong friend, has been embroiled in a feud with him since last year.
Despite Carlos’s elation at winning the competition, Nancy’s lack of enthusiasm did not go unnoticed. Sources now indicate that the childhood friends may have reached a point of no return in their relationship. Carlos has previously denied any feud, attributing their disagreements to typical friend arguments.
According to insiders, Nancy’s lack of joy at Carlos’s triumph suggests a deepening divide between them. The duo unfollowed each other on social media last year and reportedly avoided communication. While Carlos downplayed rumors of discord, Nancy expressed disappointment at not being paired with a celebrity this year.
Carlos admitted to being self-absorbed before partnering with Karen, leading to his lack of appreciation for having a dance partner in the previous season. Nancy and others believed she deserved a partner, and criticism arose over Carlos’s remarks, interpreted as a slight toward his ex-friend.
Social media users also noticed Nancy’s apparent disdain for Carlos, sparking online discussions. The Mirror has reached out to Nancy’s representative for comments on the matter.
