Strictly Pro Katya Speaks Out on Wynne’s Hand Positioning, but Viewers Unconvinced

Katya Jones, a Strictly Come Dancing contestant, opened out about her honest relationship with her dance partner after cameras captured her shoving his hand away during what seemed to be an unpleasant exchange on Saturday night.

As host Claudia Winkleman announced that this week’s voting lines were open during the fourth live episode, Wynne, 52, put his arm around 35-year-old Katya, but she pushed his hand away as it slid up her waist.

Following Sam Quek and Nikita Kumzin’s performance, the Russian dancer appeared to reject her renowned partner’s attempts at a high five amid another icy moment.

Katya stood there with her hands extended, seemingly on purpose facing away from her lover rather than giving them back.

Knowledgeable viewers on social media voiced their concerns, so the couple moved to Instagram to address the matter.
