Professional dancers Sharon Battiste and Christian Polanc impressed the “Let’s Dance” jury on Friday evening with their samba to “Mad Love,” receiving a proud 23 points. This performance closely followed Christian’s return to the show after having to withdraw due to injury in the previous week’s episode. Despite their successful performance, the couple has been under scrutiny due to a report by “Bild” claiming there was tension between the two.
According to the report, Sharon allegedly had reservations about dancing with Christian but was assigned as his partner for the live show anyway. There were also rumors of Christian’s alleged bad smell after training, causing a crisis meeting for the broadcaster. Despite the rumors, the broadcaster backed Christian, and the professional dancer took to Instagram to address the situation.
Christian made it clear in a video after the third show that the rumors “extremely annoy and upset him”. “I’m not in the mood to justify myself for any nonsense that either doesn’t concern anyone or is just nonsense,” he emphasized. Although he didn’t want to dwell on the issue, Christian continued to elaborate and defend himself and his partner, Sharon.
Sharon also spoke up on her Instagram story, addressing the negative press surrounding her and Christian’s partnership. She reassured fans that everything was fine between them and that they were looking forward to their upcoming dance routines.
Both professional dancers have urged fans not to believe everything they read in the media, and to enjoy themselves and have a wonderful evening watching the show. Despite the negative attention, Sharon and Christian have proven themselves to be a “mega team” in the eyes of the show’s judges and fans alike.
