As Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight, all eyes will be on one particular couple - Wynne Evans and Katya Jones. Following last Saturday's show, eagle-eyed viewers couldn't help but notice a few odd and awkward moments between the pair on live television. With around six million fans watching, opera singer Wynne, 52, placed his hand on Katya's waist and slowly moved it around her midriff until she playfully removed it with a smile. And that wasn't the only uncomfortable moment - viewers also caught on to Wynne's failed high-five attempt with his 35-year-old pro partner. Katya's unimpressed face said it all before she quickly turned to the camera with a grin as if nothing had happened.
Given the recent controversies surrounding Strictly, with Amanda Abbington's formal complaints about Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima's confession about kicking his celebrity partner Zara McDermott, fans are more alert than ever for any signs of discomfort or unhappiness between the couples. However, both Wynne and Katya have repeatedly denied any allegations of inappropriate behavior or tension between them.
Despite scoring 34 with their tango last Saturday and being joint second on the leaderboard, all anyone could talk about was their "inside joke" that seemed to fall flat. The couple even took to social media after the show to address the speculation and assure fans that there was no bad blood between them. In a video, they apologized for their "silly joke" and explained that it was all in good fun.
But unfortunately, the rumors and backlash have taken a toll on Wynne. In an interview on BBC Radio Wales, he expressed his heartbreak over the misinterpretation of his actions and the negative attention he has received. He clarified that he and Katya are very close friends and their joke was simply a mistake that was blown out of proportion. He also pointed out that Katya herself has spoken out and confirmed that she was not offended or uncomfortable in any way.
Despite their efforts to clear the air, Wynne's position as one of the favorites to win has been threatened. Bookmakers have now placed him at risk of being eliminated this Sunday, a stark contrast to his previous standing as one of the top contenders. Former Strictly star Ola Jordan also expressed her concerns about the couple's fate in the competition, acknowledging the potential consequences of the backlash. However, she also praised their talent and chemistry, hoping that they will not face elimination.
As tensions rise and the competition heats up, all we can do is wait and see how Wynne and Katya will fare in tonight's episode of Strictly Come Dancing. Tune in at 6.25pm on BBC One to find out.
