Brendan Cole is in trouble for branding a 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge an "idiot".
The fiery professional dancer was furious with Craig Revel Horwood for criticising his partner Jo Wood's dancing style, but his outburst has not pleased the BBC talent show's bosses.
A source said: "Everyone knows Brendan's passionate and fiery but producers will be having a quiet word with him. He must learn to control his temper."
After Craig told Jo the best bit of her rumba was when she was "standing still", Brendan was furious.
He said: "That's just rude, arrogant and unnecessary. Don't listen to that Australian idiot."
Brendan was also heard saying to Craig: "I'll see you outside!"
Despite her lacklustre performance Jo survived to dance another day, with retired jockey Richard Dunwoody being booted off the show.
Meanwhile, ex-judge Arlene Phillips, 66 - who was kicked off the panel in favour of singer Alesha Dixon, 30, sparking claims of ageing - has blasted the judges for not being strict enough.
She claims the celebrity dancers have been awarded "ridiculously high" marks this year - 'Hollyoaks' star Ricky Whittle got 34 out of 40 this week, while former 'Footballers Wives' stars Zoe Lucker and Laila Rouass both got 30.
Arlene said: "The marks are too high. I've done an overall mark for everybody and theirs are nowhere near where mine are. I think Craig is the only one marking what he sees, and he gets booed."
Len Goodman and Bruno Toniloi join Craig and Alesha on the judging panel.
