Strictly’s Wynne Evans AND Jamie Borthwick kiss Katya Jones on the cheek just days after ‘grope’ scandal
STRICTLY star Wynne Evans planted a kiss on pro partner Katya Jones just days after the "grope scandal".
The duo appeared to brush off the latest drama as they posed for a snap together alongside co-star Jamie Borthwick.
The EastEnders star was also seen giving Katya a peck on the cheek on one side with GoCompare star Wynne on the other.
Katya captioned it: "My weekend was colourful!
"These two are an absolute joy! I’m so glad they’ve got each other and will be dancing again next week!"
Strictly fans were delighted to see the couple back on track, following rumours of a rift.

One wrote: "Wonderful pics. As an EE fan Jamie has been a favourite and seems such a down to earth guy. Wynne and Katya are the couple I support always but it’s great to have a rapport with other celebs."
A second posted: "Love your choreography and really love watching you dance 🩷 you and Wayne are smashing it."
A third said: "You're doing some great work with Wynne, he is on his way to Blackpool and beyond."
The pair have been under scrutiny recently, with more focus on their 'grope scandal' than their dance moves.
And, this weekend, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a concerning detail concerning Katya and the BBC Radio Wales host - leaving many feeling upset on his behalf.
The pair stood apart from one another during the live show, while many commented on how Wynne didn't seem his usual happy, smiley self.
Many took to X, formerly Twitter, to comment, with one saying: "Wynne is a shell of his former self" and another commenting: "Wynne and Katya looking awkward is comedy moment of the night."
Another fan simply added: "Wynne and Katya. Oh dear."
Things then took a turn for the worse when it was their turn to perform.
In their opening footage, Katya said Wynne needed to: "Take it to a whole new level," with the Welsh singer admitting their quickstep felt like a "gym routine".
When Katya added: "It's not something he's used to," Wynne commented: "She is way more tired than I am."
"What I was trying to say is, I need to build my stamina if I'm to carry him for this routine," Katya said laughing.
The pair then danced a quickstep to Mr Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra.
Their routine finished with a blob of mayonnaise on Wynne's head as Katya cleaned it off.
Judge Anton Du Beke commented: "It's a lovely show when you dance".
Motsi Mabuse called it "exquisite" before the pair gained 33 points for their efforts.
Wynne and Katya have been under intense scrutiny recently after two rather awkward moments.
The first was when Katya knocked his hand away when it moved along her waist.
Then the Russian dancer and choreographer was deemed to have left her pro partner hanging when he tried to high-five her following Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin's performance.
Taking to Strictly spin-off show, It Takes Two, Katya re-addressed the problems from the week before.

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