Katya Jones grimaces in resurfaced clip over spending 'nine hours' with Wynne Evans
Katya Jones admitted she wasn't looking forward to spending "nine hours in a room" with Wynne Evans in a resurfaced video.
On Saturday's live show, BBC viewers were stunned after noticing Katya, 35, pushing Wynne's, 52, hand off her waist.
Later in the night, fans noticed a second "awkward" moment between the pair when Katya left the opera singer, 52, hanging as he tried to high five her after Sam Quek, 35, and Nikita Kuzmin's lively Samba.
This has sparked concern with fans speculating there was more going on behind-the-scenes.
In a now viral clip on X, Katya can be seen grimacing at the thought of long training sessions with the GoCompare star.

Katya Jones did not look impressed last Saturday when Wynne put his arm around her waist. (Image: strictly come dancing)Wynne said: "I like living in Wales," as Katya replied: "Wales is beautiful, it's welcomed me with gorgeous weather ever since I've arrived and apparently that's not the normal case.
She then pulled an unimpressed face and said: "But then spending nine hours with him in a room..."
One fan wrote: "I’m no body language expert but Katya looks deeply uncomfortable."
But this fan disagreed and said: "She literally holds his hand seconds afterwards, it was a joke."
The pair have been checked on by the welfare team after fans expressed concern over footage from last night’s show, which saw Katya pushing away Wynne’s hand from her midriff.
A Strictly source told the PA News agency: "Wynne and Katya have confirmed that their interactions in the Clauditorium were silly jokes they had planned together and have apologised to anyone who may have misinterpreted them.

"They addressed them on Wynne's Instagram, where their apology can be found." They added Katya was "not offended by Wynne" and that the welfare team checked on them.
The pair later apologised in a video, saying they were "just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry. It was a silly joke".
A caption alongside their apology said they "really are amazing friends" and added that the "high 5's is a running joke", after another moment on Saturday night appeared to show Katya not wanting to hive five her celebrity partner.
Katya then posted a further video, again insisting it was all ‘silly’, and made it clear she was not offended.
The couple scored 34 for their tango to Abba's Money, Money, Money during Saturday night's show.
