Strictly Come Dancing fans convinced of simmering feud between Wynne Evans and Katya Jones after noticing ‘tension’ during results show – despite the pair blasting ‘absurd’ claims
Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced there is a simmering feud between Wynne and Katya after spotting ‘tension’ during the results show.
Viewers are certain that all is not well between the opera singer and the professional dancer after Sunday’s show.
After revealing that they were safe and would perform again next week, a number of couples headed to the green room.
During a discussion about Wynne’s dance, host Claudia Winkleman asked the singer how he felt about having done it.
And during his response, fans noticed that Katya’s face was very serious throughout, with some fans even suggesting that she looked disguised by her partner.
Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced there is a simmering feud between Wynne and Katya after spotting ‘tension’ during the results show following the star’s dynamic on Sunday
After revealing that they were safe and would perform again next week, Wynne reevaluated his performance, but Katya seemed disgusted with her partner.
Fan speculation about bad blood between the two comes after viewers noticed Wynne putting his arm around Katya, before swatting his hand away as it moved along her waist.
Fan speculation comes after the dancing duo’s behavior in the fourth live show.
When Claudia revealed that this week’s voting lines were open, Wynne, 52, put his arm around Katya, 35, but batted his hand away as it moved past her waist.
A second chilling moment saw the Russian dancer appear to shun her celebrity partner’s attempts to give a high five after Sam Quek and Nikita Kumzin’s performance.
Katya stood with both hands outstretched and seemed to deliberately turn her back on her partner rather than return the gesture.
And fans are now even more certain of bad blood between the Russian dancer and Wynne.
During the show, Claudia asked Wynne how he was feeling, noting that he looked shaken.
Wynne replied, “I’m shocked because I didn’t think I would survive the first week, so to be here after doing a tango is really exciting.
‘And I had such a good time and thanks to Katya’s clever choreography.’
Some viewers even pointed out that he was standing with his hands behind his back, which they said was in response to fans’ reaction after Saturday’s episode.
Meanwhile, during a second awkward interaction, Katya appeared to avoid Wynne’s attempts at a high five after Sam Quek and Nikita Kumzin’s performance
Both Katya and Wynne have taken to social media in an attempt to clarify what happened over the weekend. They describe it as an inside joke between them and confirm that they are friends.
As Wynne gave his response, fans noticed that Katya remained stony-faced and even appeared to wince as the opera singer evaluated his performance.
Some even pointed out that he was standing with his hands behind his back, which they said was in response to fans’ reaction after Saturday’s episode.
And viewers took to
‘Oh the tension between wynne and katya, they will ‘leave this week for personal reasons’ very uncomfortable to watch’.
“Katya with a face like a spanked ass when Wynne was talking.”
‘Wynne was standing completely normal with his hands behind his back. There’s nothing to see here, no sir.’
Viewers took to X to voice their opinions on the two after seeing their dynamic on Sunday’s results show
Some fans thought the comments on social media after Saturday’s live show may have influenced the singer.
One fan wrote: ‘Wynne looks very down/serious about the results show. I suspect he saw the comments on social media between shows.”
While other viewers seemed to notice and an awkward tension wrote, “Katya and Wynne looked super awkward in there…”.
Both Katya and Wynne have taken to social media in an attempt to clarify what happened this weekend.
In a video shared to her Instagram on Sunday, the star explained that the entire episode was a misunderstanding and that the two had an inside joke.
She called fans’ speculation about Wynne’s wandering hands “absurd” and reassured fans not to worry.
In the clip, which she apparently filmed from her home, the star wore a purple sweater with a pink collar and cuffs and had her long brown hair down.
Dancing the tango to Abba’s Money Money Money, the judges praised Wynne for his energetic routine, with Anton saying it was ‘amazing’ and ‘one of your best performances’
The pair seemed to be doing extremely well in training and were third on the leaderboard with their sensational Tango for week four
She said, “Happy Sunday everyone. Now I have to make something crystal clear.
“The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly, very silly joke between Wynne and I, so even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense.
‘It’s actually quite absurd. Can we just focus on how brilliantly he is doing and what a great dancer he has become?’.
She then interrupted herself as the door buzzer went off before explaining that she had a delivery.
‘Delivery, sorry, I have to go, lots of love, bye!’ she added before finishing her video as she walked to her front door.
