STRICTLY'S Nigel Harman 'had a furious row with his wife Lucy Liemann in front of shocked fans in Blackpool'.
The actor, who had to quit the BBC show this weekend on medical grounds, wasn't happy with his scores from the judges a few weeks ago.
Nigel and dance partner Katya Jones received 31 out of a possible 40 after their dance to Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean A Thing.
Despite a high score, the former EastEnders star reportedly wasn't very pleased with it.
A source from the audience told MailOnline: "Nigel was super pumped up for the show, unlike the other celebrities they all interacted with fans as they took to their seats off camera after being introduced, but he was just in the zone, he ignored people saying hello to him.

"And it all kicked off when he got his scores from the judges. When the cameras stopped rolling he stormed back to his seat and beckoned his wife over. You could tell she knew what was coming.
"She tried to pacify him but he didn’t work and he took his disappointment out on her.
"After he walked off, Katya then tried to console her. She was visibly upset."
It comes after The Sun revealed crew members were relieved Nigel had left the competition after experiencing his backstage mood swings.
Just hours before Saturday night's episode of Strictly was due to air, it was revealed that Nigel had left the competition after hurting his ribs.
The Casualty favourite was due to perform a Charleston to Step in Time from Disney's Mary Poppins during the live quarter-finals.
However a source told us: "Nigel wasn't in training this morning, and other dancers were informed later on in the day. He and Katya were really disappointed as they were hoping to stay in the competition.
"They hadn't been in the bottom two so had a real chance of making it to the finals.
"Nigel has been training really hard and really threw himself into rehearsals."

A BBC spokesperson said: “Unfortunately Nigel has sustained a rib injury which means he is unable to perform in tonight’s show and has had to withdraw from Strictly.”
But Nigel will head back to Strictly Come Dancing as part of the grand final.
A source told the Mail: "It is always sad when a contestant leaves the show, particularly when an injury is sustained.
"Nigel will be well missed by those who have worked alongside him on the show and everyone wishes him the very best and looks forward to seeing him at the final on Saturday 16th December."
