Strictly Come Dancing fans were left ‘fuming’ over the judges’ scoring for Wynne Evans and Katya Jones’s performance.

The Welsh opera star, 52, and professional dancer, 35, took to the Strictly floor again on Saturday for a slapstick comedy-themed Quickstep.

The routine earned the duo an impressive 33 out of 40, with Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas awarding them nines.

However fans were left unimpressed by the score, as they claimed Wynne and Katya had been over marked.

The performance came as the pair attempted to shake off the toe-curling viral moment that saw Katya move Wynne’s hand away from her waist and snubbed his attempt at a high-five with her.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, after their latest performance, fans slammed the judges for giving Wynne and Katya two nines.

They wrote: ‘How tf did wynne get NINES like that was a mid routine at best??’; ‘I actually can’t believe wynne got a 9! it was absolutely awful,’;

‘Jesus a 9 for Wynne someone in the Beeb is looking after their own that was 2 from me,’;

‘Wynne and Katya were totally overmarked, I know the judges want to save him but it doesn’t mean they will stay out of the bottom 2,’;

‘…. to give Wynne and Kataya two 9s for the worst dance tonight just shows how fixed it is. Trying to change the publics mind ? ….it ain’t gonna work,’;

‘How over the top do you have to go in marking Wynne & Katya 9 – ridiculous.. And all because of the bad behaviour last week that you don’t want anyone to believe…,’;

‘Disappointed with Wynne on #Strictly tonight! Am I the only one who saw him stumble at one point? And he still scores 9’s! How???’;

‘Wynne was completely over marked. Good old Strictly stitch up as usual. This must be one of the most dishonest, unethical shows on the BBC,’;

‘I’m still FUMING about how Wynne was overmarked so much… you’re telling me that mess of a dance was worth a 9?!’;

‘Not saying I’m dramatic, but I had to leave the room when Wynne received 9s.’

However some fans disagreed as they praised the performance, hailing it ‘charming’ and ‘very funny’.

They said: ‘Wynne is such a good dancer and very funny! Loved his routine with Katya,’;

‘Brilliant Wynne and Katya!!’; ‘Wynne’s quickstep made me smile,’;

‘Charming Quickstep as expected. Wynne bounced around the floor brilliantly! Great dance,’;

‘Ok come on now twinkle toes! That was one fast paced jolly Quickstep by Wynne Evans! Love love LOVED it!’

Ahead of their performance, the duo tried to mend their image amid the week of backlash.

But viewers were left with a sour taste in their mouths by the couple’s VT, branding it overly ‘wholesome’ and ‘cosy’ in a bid to put rumours of their feud to bed.

The clip saw the pair beaming as they climbed a Welsh mountain before Wynne gave Katya a piggyback.

Despite the pair, who were once frontrunners, for the Glitterball Trophy, becoming bookies’ favourite to leave the competition next, they scored a respectable 33 out of 40 for their Quickstep.

Ahead of Saturday’s show Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: ‘Wynne’s chances have taken a huge hit over the last few days, and punters are convinced he’ll be in a dangerous position in the leaderboard this weekend… a stark contrast with where he was this time last week.’

Speaking on spin-off show It Takes Two  on Monday, Wynne admitted he had watched the footage of the incident back and confessed: ‘I can see how people may have misinterpreted it.’

Clinging to his arm, Katya said she ‘can’t bear’ the flack her co-star is getting and was empathetic that there was no wrongdoing.

She said: ‘The idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended in any way is total nonsense, and those that have doubts, you guys have got it wrong. So hopefully this will be the end of it, and you just keep making me smile.’

She added: ‘I can’t sit here watching this man being portrayed as someone he’s not. In fact, it couldn’t be further away from the truth.

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