Welsh star Wynne Evans and his professional partner Katya Jones made their return to the dancefloor on Saturday night after their "inside joke" got them in trouble. A clip went viral on social media of Wynne moving his hand across Katya's waist before she pushed it away.

However, she later insisted she was not uncomfortable and it was an inside joke that was poorly received. At the time, Wynne admitted he was heartbroken over the scandal.

He said earlier this week: "I'm absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day. It's not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we're really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke. It was a stupid joke that went wrong, OK? We thought it was funny. It wasn't funny. It has been totally misinterpreted."

On Saturday night's show, Jamie and Michelle and Montell and Johannes ended up top of the leaderboard with 39 points out of 40 each for their Paso Doble and Couple's Choice routines respectively. Chris and Dianne's Waltz put them in third place with 35 points, whilst Alijaz and Tasha placed fourth with their Tango. Wynne and Katya were fifth with their Quickstep.

At the other end of the leaderboard, Paul and Karen found themselves with just 19 out of 40 points for their Samba, whilst Punam and Gorka's Vienesse Waltz earned them second from bottom with 21 points. Pete and Jowita's Rumba - and low score from Craig - saw them third from the bottom of the leaderboard, followed by Sam and Nikita for their Quickstep.
