- Viewers speculated about a tension-filled moment between Wynne Evans and Katya Jones during a live performance.

- Both he and Katya insisted the incident was a silly inside joke, but it raised concerns from organizations regarding respectful behavior.
In October 2024, viewers of a popular dance show in the UK noticed a moment of tension between Wynne Evans and his professional partner, Katya Jones. During a live performance, Katya appeared to move Wynne’s hand from her waist, leading to speculation about inappropriate behavior and potential links to a prior 'groping' scandal. While social media buzzed with the incident, Wynne clarified his absence from the show was due to costume adjustments rather than any controversy. Both dancers emphasized that the hand movement was part of an inside joke and had no malicious intent. Despite their public reassurances, domestic violence charity Women's Aid expressed concern over the incident, highlighting the seriousness of inappropriate behavior toward women. This led to increased scrutiny of the duo amidst ongoing discussions on the importance of respectful behavior in public performances.
