Strictly Come Dancing producers have reportedly decided not to separate warring judges Craig Revel Horwood and Len Goodman.
The experts clashed on Saturday night's show after Horwood claimed that ex-EastEnders star Ricky Groves had danced in a "very conceited" manner. Goodman was seen pointing his finger angrily towards his co-star before branding his remark unconstructive.
Axed panellist Arlene Phillips has since called for the pair to be kept apart in future. However, according to The Mirror today, show bosses do not intend to change the seating order.
An insider joked: "We might keep a bucket of water handy in case sparks fly."
Goodman accused Horwood of acting like a bully on spinoff show It Takes Two yesterday. However, the choreographer made no apologies for his criticism.
Meanwhile, speaking on the BBC's Breakfast programme, Horwood said: "Len gets very attached to the contestants and I, of course, try to avoid that so I can judge properly. When you're dancing like a robot, as Ricky was, I think that's got to be mentioned."
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
