Strictly Come Dancing welfare team ‘step in over Wynne Evans and Katya Jones’ incident

Strictly Come Dancing's newly-installed welfare team reportedly had to step in to check on stars Katya Jones and Wynne Evans.

The dance pairing made headlines this weekend after an online clip from Saturday night’s show (October 12) went viral. Social media was also abuzz with a separate clip depicting Katya seemingly disregarding Wynne’s attempt at a high five, prompting a wave of concern among fans. The introduction of welfare measures, such as having chaperones during rehearsals, is part of an effort by the BBC to maintain a safe and supportive environment following previous allegations and concerns raised by past contestants.
