Strictly pro Katya Jones has spoken out in support of her former dance partner Wynne Evans following his departure from the live tour.
The Welsh opera singer – best known for his GoCompare adverts – exited the tour after backlash over an inappropriate remark he made about fellow dancer Janette Manrara and EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick during a press event.
Katya Jones’ response
After reports surfaced that Wynne would be dropped from the tour, he released a statement expressing his remorse.
“My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise,” Wynne wrote. He confirmed that he would be stepping away from both the Strictly tour and his BBC Radio Wales show for a period of self-reflection.
Katya Jones, who was paired with Wynne during the 2024 series of Strictly, has also responded with an emotional plea to her followers.
I will miss you, my darling boy.
