As the vehicle pulled into Strictly‘s London base, Wynne, 52, hopped out ready to reunite with his BBC show professional.
His blue shirt with a butterfly print added a bit of cheer after a grim week for the Go Compare advert frontman.
The pair will perform a Quickstep to ELO classic Mr Blue Sky during tonight’s live show after being the talk of Strictly last week – and not purely for their Tango routine.
BBC Radio Wales anchor Wynne was seen with his hand around professional partner Katya‘s waist during the show – but later explained it was “a stupid joke that had gone wrong.”
He told how he was “heartbroken” over the backlash, which was additionally fuelled when she refused to high-five the Go Compare advert star – sparking rumours of a fall-out.
Katya took to her own social media pages to defend their antics before confessing she “can’t bear” the backlash in a candid chat on spin-off show It Takes Two.
It remains to be seen if the drama affects the pair’s performance on the live show – and consequent standing in the judges and public vote – yet they are strongly tipped to leave.
BAD VIBES
Dr Jill Jacobs , a former professor for dance movement, today spoke to The Sun on behalf of BetVictor and claimed show fans “don’t want scandal” – and therefore may well vote Wynne and Katya Jones out.
They are also the bookies favourite to be given the boot.
Talking about the pair’a potential eviction, Jill told us: “The question is only when.
“If people feel that way and they’re not happy about how the pair is, they’re feeling that the pair is a negative.
“While Pete and Jowita, whether they’re romantically involved, this is joy, this is happiness. They are sharing this. They’re bringing this to the show. We love it.
“It’s joy and happiness.
