They knew all eyes would be on the Go Compare ad opera singer, 52, and his professional partner, 35, after last week’s furore.

Katya was seen on-air moving Wynne’s hand away after he put it around her waist. She also snubbed his effort to high-five her.

It came after a summer of scandal for the BBC show but Wynne and Katya passed it off as an “inside joke”.

A source said: “Instead of just one, they had a chaperone each and the whole crew were generally on high alert.

“It was considered a way to prevent any other foolish jokes but also protect Katya if Wynne’s waist-grab wasn’t the joke they insist it was and was indeed a grope.

“Either way, bosses felt like it would be prudent to get extra eyes on them to prevent any more misdemeanours.”

The BBC’s welfare team checked on both following last week’s incident.

Katya had confirmed that she had not felt uncomfortable and no further action was taken.

But the source said Wynne and Katya “barely spent any time together off camera” on Saturday.

However, fans have backed the pair, who performed a quickstep, and voted to send them straight through to next week.

The BBC did not comment on the matter when asked yesterday.

Following the incident involving Wynne Evans and Katya Jones on Strictly Come Dancing, the show’s producers took extra precautions to ensure the safety and comfort of the dancers.

In addition to assigning an additional chaperone to both Wynne and Katya during filming, the entire crew was put on high alert.

It was clear that all eyes would be on the pair after last week’s controversy, where Wynne was seen putting his arm around Katya’s waist during their performance. Katya swiftly moved his hand away on camera and later dismissed the incident as an “inside joke.”

To prevent any future incidents or misunderstandings, each dancer had their own chaperone, and the welfare team closely monitored the situation.

Fans of the show showed their support for Wynne and Katya by voting them through to the next round, where they performed a delightful quickstep.

Despite the added scrutiny and precautions, both dancers remained focused on their performances.

The BBC refrained from commenting on the matter, respecting the privacy and professionalism of the dancers.

As the show progresses, viewers can expect to see more captivating performances and thrilling moments on the dance floor. Stay tuned for updates and backstage insights as the competition heats up.
