Strictly Come Dancing star Katya Evans appeared serious as she turned up to rehearse for the next live show with celebrity partner Wynne Evans
Strictly Come Dancing star Katya Jones looked very serious as she arrived to rehearse alongside Wynne Evans.
The professional dancer was seen heading to the studio to begin preparations for this week’s Halloween special dressed in a black puffer coat and black leggings. Katya wore her long dark hair down in a sleek straight style and held her handbag and a tray containing three hot drinks.
Wynne appeared in good spirits as he turned up at the studio and smiled as he unloaded his things from his car before heading inside to join Katya. Wynne wore a green jacket layered over a green shirt and jeans and had a set of headphones around his neck.
The two have been embroiled in a scandal after the GoCompare ad man placed his arm on Katya’s waist, allegedly leaving her uncomfortable. However, the pair have since dismissed the claims and insisted it was purely an “inside joke”.
As they returned to the dancefloor over the weekend the pair danced a bouncy quickstep to Mr Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra, following the pair apologising for the “inside joke.” Welsh opera singer Wynne finished with a mayonnaise blob left on his head, and Jones cleaned it off. Judge Anton Du Beke said: “It’s a lovely show, when you dance”, while Motsi Mabuse called it “exquisite”. Jones held Evans’s arm as the pair received 33 points.
In their opening video tape, Katya said Wynne needed to “take it to a whole new level,” with the Welsh singer later saying their routine felt like a “gym routine.” Katya added: “It’s not something he’s used to.” But Wynne interrupted saying: “She is way more tired than I am.”
“What I was trying to say is, I need to build my stamina if I’m to carry him for this routine,” Katya said while laughing. She added: “The question is, is Mr Blue Sky ready to fly on Saturday night?” as Wynne commented it was time for the audience to “find out.”
Shortly after their performance last week, the pair both took to social media to claim the moment was simply an “inside” joke and wasn’t to be taken seriously. But at the time viewers were not content with their explanation, leaving Wynne to publicly address the situation once again, while on a radio show. At the time he said he was “heartbroken” things had gone as far as they had, as there was nothing un-toward between the two.
Katya and Wynne appeared on Strictly spin off show It Takes Two where they once again addressed the situation. Katya said: “I actually can’t bear sitting here watching this man being portrayed as someone he’s not and in fact it couldn’t be further away from the truth. “
She added: “I have to make this absolutely clear that this whole incident with the hand and the high five on Saturday night, it was an inside joke between Wynne and I. Was it a silly joke? Yes. Was it a bad joke? Yes.”
