Oh dear. #strictly."

The pair danced a bouncy quickstep to Mr Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra, following the pair apologising for the "inside joke." Welsh opera singer Wynne finished with a mayonnaise blob left on his head, and Jones cleaned it off. Judge Anton Du Beke said: "It's a lovely show, when you dance", while Motsi Mabuse called it "exquisite". Jones held Evans's arm as the pair received 33 points.

Katya and Wynne appeared on Strictly spin off show It Takes Two where they once again addressed the situation. Katya said: "I actually can't bear sitting here watching this man being portrayed as someone he's not and in fact it couldn't be further away from the truth. "

She added: "I have to make this absolutely clear that this whole incident with the hand and the high five on Saturday night, it was an inside joke between Wynne and I. Was it a silly joke? Yes. Was it a bad joke? Yes."
