BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans tell Wynne Evans and Katya Jones critics to 'shut up' after 'hidden' detail

Some Strictly Come Dancing fans have told the critics of Wynne Evans and Katya Jones to 'shut up' after a 'hidden' detail from their latest performance in the ballroom was exposed.

The opera singer and the professional dance faced a tricky weekend in the competition after they landed in the dreaded dance-off for the first time. Wynne and Katya made it through to week eight of the BBC One dance contest and therefore on Saturday night (November 9) the pair took to the dance floor.

Wynne was praised for improving his footwork following his performance of an American Smooth to Grace Kelly by Mika. The pair were awarded 32 points and surprised with a video from singer Mika, who wished the couple well.

But shortly after their joy for successfully pulling off their latest routine, Wynne and Katya then had to fight for their place in week nine of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series, which also happens to be the annual Blackpool special which will take place at the iconic Tower Ballroom.

They faced the dance-off against Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu with both couples having to reprise their performances. After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts: Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Shayne and Nancy, as did Motsi, while Anton Du Beke chose to save Wynne and Katya. With two votes in favour of Shayne and Nancy, the decision came down to head judge Shirley, who decided to save Wynne and Katya.

With a new week of training now underway, Wynne and Katya have been defended by fans after the latest 'hidden mic' segment, in which Strictly releases a compilation of the comments made by the celebrities and their professional partners while performing live, was shared by Strictly. Sharing the latest video on social media, the caption read: "Mic check one two, one two, it’s #Strictly hidden mics time."

It proved Wynne and Katya were enjoying their time on the dance floor, beaming with joy and singing along to the song they were dancing to. Mid-way through the routine, Katya gushed: "You're the best!" She then repeating the message over and over to her celebrity partner at the end of their dance before they embraced.

In response to the clip, @gorgiegirl51 said: "Can this content FINALLY shut people up about Wynne and Katya! Look at her reaction to him!!" @ouramazinganimalworld2 added: "Katya always seems like such a lovely supportive partner."
