Strictly bosses will NOT take any further action over Wynne Evans and Katya Jones footage after welfare team visit --[Reported by Umva mag]

STRICTLY Come Dancing will not be looking into the situation with Wynne Evans and Katya Jones ‘any further’. The pair have been checked on by the welfare team after fans expressed concern over footage from last night’s show, which saw Katya, 35, pushing away 52-year-old Wynne’s hand from her midriff. Fans questioned how comfortable Katya was on last night’s show The pair have insisted it was all a joke A Strictly source said: “Wynne and Katya have confirmed that their interactions in the Clauditorium were silly jokes they had planned together and have apologised to anyone who may have misinterpreted them. “They addressed them on Wynne’s Instagram, where their apology can be found. “Katya would like to clarify further that she was not offended by Wynne and was not made to feel uncomfortable in the least. “The welfare team have checked in on the pair and there are no further actions planned.” The pair later apologised in a video, saying they were “just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry. It was a silly joke”. A caption alongside their apology said they “really are amazing friends” and added that the “high 5’s is a running joke”, after another moment on Saturday night appeared to show Katya not wanting to hive five her celebrity partner. Katya then posted a further video, again insisting it was all ‘silly’, and made it clear she was not offended. The couple scored 34 for their tango to Abba’s Money, Money, Money during Saturday night’s show. Strictly returned in September this year for its 20th anniversary with a new cast of celebrities and some changes, including the presence of chaperones “at all times” during rehearsals. The chaperones followed a review launched by the corporation after Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington made complaints about her 2023 Strictly professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice. The BBC last month apologised to Abbington, saying in a statement: “We have assessed the complaints and we have upheld some, but not all, of the complaints made. “We want to apologise to Amanda Abbington and to thank her for coming forward and taking part. We know this would not have been an easy thing to do.” The Sun has contacted Strictly for comment.
