Strictly fans spot ‘tension’ as Wynne Evans gushes over Katya Jones as they return to TV after hand gate
Strictly Come Dancing viewers have spotted clues that there could be difficulties behind the scenes for Wynne Evans and Katya Jones.
The BBC show caught the attention of viewers on Saturday night with exchanges including Katya, 35, appearing to push 52-year-old Wynne’s hand away from her.
In another moment the Go Compare frontman was seen putting his hands up for a high five with Katya refusing to engage and seeming to roll her eyes.
Now on the Sunday night result show, Strictly Come Dancing viewers think they’ve spotted more tension between the pair.
As Wynne gushed about his partner Katya and praised her for helping them get through to week five, Strictly viewers still picked up on awkwardness between the pair.
Writing on social media, one fan shared: “bit of tension and awkwardness between Katya and Wynne not sure if it’s just a how do we stand so no one comments.”
Another wrote: “Oh the tension between wynne and katya, they will “leave this week for personal reasons “ very uncomfortable to see.”
“Katya with a face like a slapped a*** when Wynne was talking,” said a third.
Another posted: “Katya and Wynne looked super awkward there…”
The online comments come as BBC confirmed it will not be taking further action towards Katya and Wynne.
A Strictly source said: “Wynne and Katya have confirmed that their interactions in the Clauditorium were silly jokes they had planned together and have apologised to anyone who may have misinterpreted them.
“They addressed them on Wynne’s Instagram, where their apology can be found.
“Katya would like to clarify further that she was not offended by Wynne and was not made to feel uncomfortable in the least.
“The welfare team have checked in on the pair and there are no further actions planned.”
On Saturday night the pair later apologised in a video, saying they were “just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry. It was a silly joke”.
A caption alongside their apology said they “really are amazing friends” and added that the “high 5’s is a running joke”, after another moment on Saturday night appeared to show Katya not wanting to hive five her celebrity partner.
Katya then posted a further video, again insisting it was all ‘silly’, and made it clear she was not offended.
