Strictly's Wynne Evans 'heartbroken' over 'stupid joke' fallout

Strictly's Wynne 'heartbroken' over 'stupid joke'

BBC Evans said he's "absolutely still up for" Strictly despite the furore

Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans has said he's "heartbroken" after the fallout from "a stupid joke that went wrong" on Saturday's show. Viewers noticed some apparently awkward moments between the opera singer and his dance partner Katya Jones, when she seemed to decline a high-five and later appeared to move his hand from her waist. Jones later said on social media that they were "messing around", and it was part of "an inside joke". Speaking on Monday on BBC Radio Wales, where he hosts a programme, Evans said: "I'm absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day."

He added: "It's not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we're really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke. "It was a stupid joke that went wrong, OK? We thought it was funny. It wasn't funny. It was been totally misinterpreted."

The pair were joint second on the leaderboard this weekend
