Speaking to Good Morning Britian host, Susanna Reid, Adams said: "We always argue."
Katya then interjected as she joked: "We just don't like each other at all."
Tony continued: "Sometimes when I miss a step, she is over critical at times.

Arsenal fans are voting to keep Tony Adams in the competition
Arsenal football fans have been voting to keep football legend Tony Adams in the show, and it’s a move that’s frustrating Strictly viewers.
As Adams and his professional dance partner Katya Jones head into week eight of the dancing competition, many have taken to social media to share their thoughts.
One viewer labelled Tony’s progress a “disgrace”, suggesting he only remains in the show because loyal Arsenal fans keep voting for their former captain.
And it seems that the football fans are finding the response from Strictly viewers hilarious.
One supporter wrote: “Arsenal annoying the footballing world Arsenal annoying the Strictly world. It’s absolutely beautiful.”
“People surprised at Tony Adams going through clearly don’t know Arsenal fans. They’re organised, relentless voters and middle class.
“They’ll watch Strictly in droves and once voted for Gunnersaurus to win goal of the month.
“Adams could win this.”
