Former Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff has slammed Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The professional dancer hit out after fans were left fuming by an alleged 'pro Vladimir Putin ' tweet.
The 44-year-old was criticised over 'insensitive' posts in the wake of the military action.
She retweeted a cartoon depicting caricatures of Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau with blood on their hands.
As reported by our sister title The Mirror, US president Biden was drawn pointing, with the words 'Russian man bad' written in a speech bubble.
Kristina had captioned the tweet: "Don’t even have to say anything - pure genius."
She later shared a headline by Sky News which announced that Russia had been kicked out of the Eurovision Song Contest, which is due to take place later this year.
Kristina wrote alongside it: "F….ing breaking news.
"Are you for real @SkyNews? WTF! And where are we at with bringing @BorisJohnson accountable for ruining thousands of small business while parting during lockdowns?????? This tweet EVERYTHING WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE UK MEDIA & USELESS @GOVUK #Eurovision" [sic]
After fans slammed the dancer for the "inappropriate" tweets, Kristina decided to react to the backlash by clarifying her thoughts on the war in Ukraine and how she is firmly against the actions of her homeland.
In a statement which she posted on social media, Kristina wrote: "I made fun of Eurovision tweet by Sky. I did think there was far more important information on that day that Eurovision.
"This is in any form says I was supporting what’s happening at the moment between Russia & Ukraine.
"It’s absolutely devastating for someone like me who’s grandad from Ukraine and I gave Ukrainian name to my daughter - Milena."
