BBC issue update on Strictly's Wynne Evans and Katya Jones 'hand incident' as pair continue to insist all is well between them ahead of their It Takes Two appearance


The couple have insisted an awkward exchange during Saturday's live show which saw Katya appear to frostily push her dance partner away was the result of an unexplained 'in-joke'.

Her emotional defence of the opera singer comes after their appearance on the fourth live show on Saturday, when viewers spotted a toe-curling interaction between Evans, 52, and Jones, 35, as she moved his hand away from her waist and snubbed his attempt at a high-five with her. The incident caused such concern among BBC top brass, who have spent months firefighting accusations of misconduct on previous series, that a welfare investigation was conducted. As Wynne gave his answer fans spotted that Katya remained stony faced and even appeared to wince as the opera singer evaluated his performance.
