Strictly star Wynne Evans issues apology as he admits he’s ‘heartbroken’ over ‘wandering hands’ claims

Strictly Come Dancing‘s star Wynne Evans has issued an apology following the incident with fellow dance star Katya Jones after a footage of an awkward exchange between the two emerged.

During the fourth live show of the dance competition, Wynne was seen placing his arm around 35-year-old Katya’s waist. As his hand moved, she brushed it off.

Social media users raised their concerns following this incident, especially after Katya was seen ignoring Wynne’s attempt to high-five her.

Wynne felt the urge to address the issue on a show he hosts on BBC Radio Wales. “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day,” he said.

“It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.

“It was a stupid joke that went wrong, okay? We thought it was funny. It wasn’t funny. It has been totally misinterpreted.”

Wynne, 52, added, “Everything’s on Katya’s socials. She’s talked about it. She’s explained that it was a joke. She wasn’t offended in the least. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

“We’ve got a brilliant friendship, an absolutely tight friendship, and I’m sorry if anybody was offended by it, but it was a joke. And that’s all there is. There is no real story, really.”

He said he doesn’t want his presence on the dance show to be remembered by this incident that started as a joke but took the wrong turn in the eyes of the viewers.

“I’m absolutely still up for it. I’m having the best time of my life. I just don’t want this to be the bit that people remember.”

Katya also took to the social media to give an explanation, stating what happened between her and Wynne was just a joke the audience didn’t perceived as intended.

“Happy Sunday everyone,” she said at the start of the video she posted. “Now I need to make something crystal clear. The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly, 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.

“It’s quite absurd actually. Can we just focus on how brilliantly he’s doing and what an amazing dancer he’s becoming?” she added.

She ended the video when her doorbell rang and Katya said goodbye to her fans.

Fans, however, were still not convinced that the dance pair was only joking.

“You’re not explaining how it was a joke?” one fan questioned. “I think it’s exactly how it come across on camera. You didn’t want his hand there, so moved it? Not a big deal.”

Another fan added: “Not even funny to be honest in this day and age with everything that is going on so can’t see the funny side of this when people were genuinely concerned.”
