Wynne Evans, Katya's vow and the moment that will haunt her for ever: KATIE HIND reveals what's REALLY going on between Strictly pair after that handsy moment


It was a cold October evening exactly six years ago when Katya Jones found herself at the centre of the 'Strictly curse'.

The pair insist the wandering hand incident was a 'silly joke' in a series of public statements across social media, and repeated the line again on Monday night as they appeared – both rather emotional – on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two. I'm told there is some anger among the Strictly production team at the BBC who say the episode 'is the last thing' they needed after the Giovanni Pernice and Amanda Abbington row which has left a dark cloud over its current 20th anniversary series. The BBC did however ensure its welfare team checked with each of the pair to confirm that nothing was awry – and training room researchers have been keeping meticulous logs of what goes on during rehearsals between every celebrity couple, Wynne and Katya included.
