Katya Jones urges followers to ‘show humanity’ over Wynne Evans’ Strictly axing in emotional tribute


Strictly pro Katya Jones has spoken out in support of her former dance partner Wynne Evans following his departure from the Strictly live tour.

The Welsh opera singer – best known for his GoCompare adverts – exited the tour after backlash over an inappropriate remark he made about fellow dancer Janette Manrara and EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick during a press event. Additionally, fans spotted a separate moment in which Katya appeared to ignore a high-five from Wynne while standing behind co-host Claudia Winkleman, instead turning her back and rolling her eyes. “The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly inside joke between Wynne and I, so even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense,” She said on social media at the time.
