Privacy NoticeStrictly Come Dancing’s Katya Jones and Wynne Evans have issued an apology after fans spotted a ‘weird’ moment during the live show on Saturday night (12 October). Following their noticeable behaviour on-screen, former Strictly champion Katya and Wynne, best known for the Go Compare adverts, have reassured fans they were ‘just messing around’. Wynne was back on the dance floor with Katya for the fourth live show of the new series on Saturday night, with a Tango to Abba’s Money Money Money. The judges praised Wynne’s improvement for the second week running, reflected in an impressive score of 34 out of 40.

This put him at the top of the leaderboard alongside Jamie Borthwick until Tasha Ghouri’s final performance of the night. However, it was two moments after Wynne and Katya’s performance that caught viewers’ attention. As Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin joined them on set, Wynne attempted to high-five Katya, only for her to seemingly ‘snub’ him and roll her eyes – a moment captured on camera. Later, as the pair stood with their co-stars and host Claudia Winkleman, Wynne moved his hand along Katya’s waist, but viewers caught the moment she appeared to push his hand off her waist. After their antics on Strictly went viral, Katya and Wynne took to Instagram with a video in response. Katya began with: “Hello everybody it’s Wynne and Katya here. We just wanted to say we were just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry.” “It was a silly joke,” before Wynne added: “Yes, sorry”. The opera singer then wrote in the caption: “Apologies for this tonight we were just messing around. We really are amazing friends. The high 5’s is a running joke. Have a great evening @katyajones.”

Ok the refusal to do the high five and the eye roll, yep get that, but the hand slowly moving across Katya’s stomach, and her moving it away and looking seriously uncomfortable?? How is that a ‘joke’.” A second penned: “What about the bit where he had wondering hands and you moved them away off your stomach.” While a third added: “We were more worried about the hand on the stomach that Katya moved because she was uncomfortable rather than the high five.” Another said: “It’s the wandering hand Wynne….might have been innocent but Katya looked uncomfortable- joke or no.” While one more wrote: “The high 5 thing isn’t what people care about.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
