Katya Jones and Wynne Evans’ insist they were ‘joking’ after she sparks concern and moves his hand
STRICTLY pro Katya Jones and dance partner Wynne Evans have addressed the very awkward moment on tonight’s show.
BBC viewers were left shocked this evening as they spotted Katya push Wynne’s hand off her.
The pair were standing with the rest of the group when the singer, 52, put his arm around the 35-year-old’s waist and she appeared to object to his positioning.
Katya and Wynne has since taken to social media to clear things up, after a number of fans were left baffled at the moment.
Speaking from backstage, Katya said: “Hi everyone, it’s Wynne and Katya here, we just wanted to say we were messing around in the clauditorium on Saturday night and we just want to say sorry.”
She added: “It was a silly joke.”
While Wynne echoed : “Yeah, sorry.”
The toe-curling moment caught on live TV sparked speculation amongst fans, who were concerned about her unusual reaction.
One person wrote: “Anyone else see Katya push wynne’s hand away.”
A second said: “Katya moving Wynne’s hand away then….”
While a third added: “Did anybody else just see Katya push away Wynne’s hand – she did that awkward smile.”
Others noticed that Katya was standing nowhere near Wynne when the cameras appeared once again.
Katya and Wynne wowed the judges with their tango to ABBA’s Money, Money, Money.
During the critique after their performance, Wynne was left in hysterics as Craig Revel Horwood made an innuendo at Anton Du Beke’s expense.
Anton was full of praise for Wynne and when he has finished, Craig asked: “I see the espresso has kicked in Anton. You going to be able to keep that up all night, dear?”
Wynne couldn’t stop laughing as he tried to get through the rest of it.
Craig told him: “You bum was sticking up – but I loved, loved, loved it. Winner, winner, win.”
Motsi Mabuse agreed and said: “This was your best dance yet, I’ve been waiting for this dance, I knew it was coming.
“What I love is that you guys give us a story…beautifully timed.”
Head judge Shirley Ballas was also full of praise and said: “I got goosebumps, it was passionate and told a tale.
“You got out there and I could see you’re in it to win it.”
Craig and Anton scored Wynne an 8, while Shirley and Motsi gave him a nine, making it his highest score so far.
But some fans hit out at the judges yet again for “overmarking” another celebrity – with some claiming they have their “favourites”.
