As a seasoned observer of the glitzy world of dance and entertainment, I can’t help but find myself drawn into the whirlwind that is the partnership between Wynne Evans and Katya Jones. Their recent public outings have been as captivating as a Strictly Come Dancing ballroom performance, filled with intrigue and a dash of mystery.


On Wednesday, Katya Jones and Wynne Evans enjoyed a shared cake while they playfully bantered during their training session. They maintained a harmonious demeanor, assuring everyone that everything is fine between them.

52-year-old opera singer and 35-year-old professional dancer shared a playful moment during their hike through Wales, with the singer offering the dancer a ride on his back like a piggyback.

After receiving criticism, the duo defended themselves following an uncomfortable interaction during their weekend broadcast, where Katya pulled away from his touch at the waist and declined a fist bump.

It has been claimed by both Wynne and Katya that the ‘hand incident’ stemmed from an undisclosed ‘private joke’. Later on, the BBC verified that ‘Katya was not upset’ by the event, and they confirmed that both individuals had been contacted by their ‘support and production teams’ to ensure their well-being.

Regardless of the debate surrounding them, the duo appears to be full of energy as they gear up for another round of dancing on the floor this coming week.

Katya posted a collection of videos and photos showing the duo during rehearsals, where she playfully pushed the opera singer on a couch and later received a piggyback ride from him up the mountain.

In one story shared with her 249,000 followers, Katya showcased a banner that’s been put up in their training room, which reads ‘Wynne & Katya to win’.

In the photograph, the celebrity competitor was beaming broadly, and Katya adorned it with a string of heart emojis expressing joy.

Wynne likewise posted his own picture of the banner and encouraged kindness through his caption, saying: “It’s wonderful to see how many thoughtful individuals there are out there! The location where we practice created a sign just for us in our rehearsal space. @katyajones @bbcstrictly #spreadingkindness #bekind

Later, she recorded herself presenting a lemon drizzle cake to Wynne while exclaiming excitedly: “See what they got for you!

He replied: ‘I know, when we were rehearsing the ladies here have made us a cake.’

I, being totally smitten, shared a delightful snapshot of Wynne beaming ear-to-ear over a delectable dessert, all while the melodious tune of “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra filled the air around us.

In their rehearsals, the pair appear to be uninhibitedly enjoying themselves, even going so far as to post a video of Katya playfully pushing Wynne around in circles on a couch.

He playfully indicated, “Here’s the fast-paced dance move known as the quickstep,” to which the other replied, “We’ll be right there, Shirley!

On Thursday, instead of dancing, they chose to explore the Welsh countryside by going on a mountain hike together.

Katya exclaimed brightly: “Good morning! We’re up on the mountain, breathtakingly gorgeous, aren’t you all set for the weekend?

With a sense of assurance, Wynne responded affirmatively as they posed for the photo, followed by him playfully carrying Katya on his back since she was wearing unsuitable footwear for London.

On his own Instagram, Wynne playfully commented: ‘Since she insists on wearing those impractical London shoes, I guess it’s my job to help her climb this mountain.’

The pro dancer laughed: ‘And you know where we’re going? To get a bacon roll.’

After the duo appeared downcast in Cardiff City Center, they ventured out for a cup of coffee prior to their visit to the BBC Wales radio studio on Wednesday.

As they took a leisurely walk, Wynne exuded a sense of ease, dressed casually in a white hoodie and blue denims.

He added a spot of colour with a floral spring shirt and camel-coloured slip-on Birkenstock shoes.

Gripping a bottle of water, Katya hung off his arm as he also put on a cosy display for the outing.

The pro dancer stepped out in a black jumper, jeans and a large grey trench coat.

Dressing for the icy autumnal weather, she wrapped up warm with a large grey ad black scarf.

To complete her ensemble, she added a Louis Vuitton NeverFull handbag and a pair of black, sturdy military-style boots.

In the studio, Katya exuded her most alluring personality when she playfully flirted with Wynne during their live broadcast.

On a morning talk show hosted by the opera singer, the dancer graced the stage for a chat, discussing their preferred musicians.

In our chat, Wynne confessed that although he went to a Taylor Swift concert and bought some of her merchandise, he doesn’t consider himself an ardent or extremely devoted fan.

Katya expressed her views by saying: “I recall I have a Beyonce shirt, yet it doesn’t automatically mean you’re a die-hard fan just because you own one.

‘I’ve got loads of yours,’ she cheekily added.

Despite their recent pally outings, the duo have been under fire in recent days.

Viewers believe there may be an underlying disagreement between Wynne and Katya based on perceived tension during the results show on Sunday, but both individuals have dismissed such rumors as preposterous.

In response to the recent “hand grope” scandal, Women’s Aid, a charity focused on domestic abuse, has expressed strong criticism towards the BBC.

In a statement to The Sun, they said: ‘With an epidemic of misogyny and violence against women and girls in the UK, we need a media culture where women feel safe to speak up, where sexually inappropriate conduct is not trivialised or joked about.

Let’s make sure we speak out against insensitive humor that could be hurtful, as silence might unintentionally allow such disrespectful behaviors to persist and foster a culture of gender-based mistreatment.

TopMob has contacted representatives for Wynne Evans, Katya Jones and the BBC for comment.
