Strictly restarts this Saturday when it will be the pairing up of celebs and pros..... which may even be less cringe-making than usual. grin

I don't know many of this year's celebs, but nothing new to that, and no doubt I shall get hooked in as usual.

Just looked at the apology above.

Actually think it makes it worse!

nanaK54 Sun 13-Oct-24 15:41:33

Think I will just repeat my 'hmmm' - is this just damage limitation, obviously I don't know anymore than anyone else does.
Fairly sure that this will cost him dear in terms of votes - not this week, that's already over, but going forward - we will see.

There is also a video of Katya standing very closely with both hands on his arm and resting her head against his body . Yes she had every right to move his hand but does he deserve to be
dismissed as a contestant ? their apology is uncomfortable viewing

Katya and Wynne have issued a joint apology saying it was just a silly joke and they were messing around. This is the wandering hand clip and their apology for anyone who hasn’t seen it .

I go on the spoiler site too. Keep saying I’ll wait till the Sunday night show but it’s addictive!

escaped Sun 13-Oct-24 15:24:41

It's one thing to use close body contact when you are dancing, that is an integral part of the performance. I'm not sure it is appropriate though when standing together waiting to hear others' scores etc.

NotAGran55 Sun 13-Oct-24 15:18:00

Regardless of Wynne’s motives, Katya was clearly unhappy with where his hand was otherwise she wouldn’t have moved it.
I wouldn’t want his hands anywhere near me.

The ‘high ten’ reaction said it all.

I’m terribly nosy, afraid I look at the Strictly Spoiler site first thing Sunday morning.

Anniebach Sun 13-Oct-24 14:31:19

I don’t think he was pawing her, thinking how close they are when dancing , I dislike her smile, too forced

Bridie22 Sun 13-Oct-24 14:23:10

No I go there also 💃

GrannyGravy13 Sun 13-Oct-24 14:03:17

Am I the only one who goes on the spoiler site to find out the results?

I really cannot be doing with the results show with all the last night on the show pretence.

It seems a strange thing for him to do when he knew full well the cameras were on them all. He would certainly know the pitfalls of being in front of a live audience.

Maybe he feels comfortable with her and did it more in a brotherly affectionate way.

Maybe not.

But either way, clearly she wasn't comfortable and when it comes to the public vote that may cost him dearly.

Some people like the element of risk.

Sara1954 Sun 13-Oct-24 11:07:05

Well we don’t really know the he facts, but as ferry23 says, odd thing to do when millions of people are watching, slight overreaction, but Katya is fully entitled to remove his hand if she’s uncomfortable.

Oh no I voted for him last night. He was one of the favourites to win at the start but probably not now.

So did I but I reckon he’ll be a gonner soon. I’ve seen the clip and there’s no mistake he made Katya feel uncomfortable.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 13-Oct-24 10:09:53

Have just seen the video, yuck!

Katya dealt with it professionally, I only hope she steps on his toes whilst wearing stilettos 👠 some time soon.

Clawdy Sun 13-Oct-24 09:59:57

Yes, poor Katya, I think we may see Wynne in a different light now. I certainly won't be voting for him.

nanaK54 Sun 13-Oct-24 09:47:13

Lot of online chat about Wynne and Katya this morning. Apparently he put his arm a bit tightly round her and she pushed it away, then a moment later when everyone was high-fiving she turned away from him looking cross. They issued an apology online afterwards saying it was just a joke.

Hmmm - he was sliding his hand from her hip round her waist - she put a fixed smile on her face as she pushed his hand back but looked quite uncomfortable.
We all know that the Beeb have upped safeguarding for the celebs, I do hope that they apply the same for the pro dancers.

From what I've seen online it looks like his hand reached round onto her stomach. She didn't like it, and good for her, she pushed his hand away.

I didn't get home in time so I missed a chunk .
I thought that Tasha has enormous potential .
But why is Aljaz so breathless ?
A professional dancer shouldn't be .
Does he smoke ?
Is he asthmatic ?

Plus he’s at least a stone over the weight when we last saw him.

When I saw Punam practicing I knew it wasn’t going to go well.
She hasn’t got natural bounce which is a must with the jive.
Back in the mists of time I won several amateur jive competitions.
I can still make a good fist of it without the flicks and kicks 😂

Calendargirl Sun 13-Oct-24 08:04:01

Perhaps after his year or so off, Alijaz just isn’t so fit?

Plus he’s a bit older than he was.

1 vote for Jamie, Paul, Sam.
Thought Paul was much improved this week.
