It comes after dancer James 46, was forced to hit back after a clip of him calling his celeb partner "fat" went viral online while wife Ola, 41, was accused of bullying dance partner Steve Backshall.
Heading out today, Ola kept things casual in a brown sweatshirt and camel shorts while James opted for a stone top and khaki shorts.
Former CBB housemate James was seen wiping his eyes while making his way into the fast food restaurant.
The BBC show is facing its biggest crisis as more celebrities share horror stories from behind the scenes.

TV wildlife presenter Steve, 51, lodged a complaint with the BBC against Ola back in 2014.
The celeb said he'd found his dance partner to be "rude and impatient" which undermined his confidence.
Ola has yet to respond, but her husband took to Instagram and shared a sarcastic tweet from a Strictly fan this week.
It jokingly suggested that James has been living in fear of his wife.

"She's the dance floor assassin @bbcstrictly and we need a fund me page for poor @The_JamesJordan who must live in terror daily."

James shared a screenshot of the tweet on his Instagram Story and wrote over the top: "Please!!! Someone help me" alongside a distressed face emoji.
The Sun contacted Ola's representatives for comment at the time.
It is understood that Steve complained directly to a Strictly producer after their Halloween-themed Charleston.
Following this, bosses called Ola in for a meeting and agreed that she and Steve would be accompanied at all times while they remained in the competition.
At the time, Steve spoke about the physical demands of the series.
He told the that he was unable to point the toes of his left foot due to a fused ankle from a near-fatal climbing accident in 2008.
The action star revealed he was in "constant pain" during training and took painkillers every day.
He said: "It has absolutely broken me. You are training all day long on hard wooden floors wearing dance shoes that have no give in them at all, and no cushioning.
"The impact travels straight all the way through my body and I'm just falling apart."
On Friday, James spoke out about a video of him calling his celeb partner Georgina Bouzova "fat".
The former show star was seen raging at Georgina as they argued in rehearsals back in 2006.
But James said he has never had complaints from his Strictly co-stars in eight years of being on the show.
