Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts were left in utter disbelief last night when they noticed Katya Jones seemingly shoving her dance partner Wynne Evans. During a group gathering on the live show, Wynne, 52, innocuously wrapped his arm around 35 year old Katya's waist, only for her to appear less than pleased.

Eagle-eyed viewers didn't miss the awkward exchange, and it quickly became a hot topic of conversation online. One viewer posted: "Anyone else see Katya push wynne's hand away."

Another remarked: "Katya moving Wynne's hand away then...." A third chimed in: "Did anybody else just see Katya push away Wynne's hand - she did that awkward smile."

On the dance floor, Katya and Wynne stunned the judges with their fierce tango performance to ABBA's classic hit Money, Money, Money. Craig wasn't short on comments, playfully criticising yet praising Wynne: "You bum was sticking up - but I loved, loved, loved it. Winner, winner, win."

Judge Motsi Mabuse also joined in with commendation saying: "This was your best dance yet, I've been waiting for this dance, I knew it was coming. What I love is that you guys give us a story...beautifully timed."

Head judge Shirley Ballas was effusive in her praise, stating: "I got goosebumps, it was passionate and told a tale. You got out there and I could see you're in it to win it."

Wynne received an 8 from Craig and Anton, while Shirley and Motsi awarded him a nine, marking his highest score to date. Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec topped the leaderboard for a second week in a row.

They scored a near-perfect 39 points out of 40 as three of the judges - Shirley, Motsi and Anton - awarded them the first 10s of the competition.
