Katya Jones is determined to make the truth ‘crystal clear’ after Strictly Come Dancing viewers began fearing for her well-being.
The Russian professional, 35, went viral this weekend after her celebrity partner, Wynne Evans, 52, appeared to have wandering hands.
During Saturday night’s live show, the Go Compare opera singer was seen standing behind her among the rest of the cast, an arm around her waist, which Katya subtly moved back when his hand crept towards her front.
It didn’t take long for the clip to garner millions of views, with fans begging the BBC to step in.
After the show, the pair issued an apology, with audiences also having spotted an awkward background moment when Katya snubbed a high-five from Wynne with a stern expression before seemingly faking a smile again for the cameras.

‘Happy Sunday, everyone. Now, I need to make something crystal clear,’ she began.
‘The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was an inside, very silly joke between Wynne and I.
‘So, even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense.
‘It’s quite absurd, actually.’
Katya went on to say: ‘Now, can we just focus on how brilliantly he’s doing and what an amazing dancer he’s becoming?’
Her video then ended abruptly as her doorbell buzzed and she had a delivery to receive.

‘Gotta run! Lots of love, bye!’, she said, blowing a kiss.
Despite Katya’s plea for people to stop speculating, though, not everyone bought what she was saying.
‘You’re not explaining how it was a joke? I think it’s exactly how it come across on camera. You didn’t want his hand there, so moved it? Not a big deal,’ wrote Instagram user shannonsmithxxx.
‘The explanation videos only make the situation stranger. How is inappropriately touching someone an inside joke?’, asked amyleekav.
Others asked Katya if she was ‘ok’ and noted how she ‘had’ to say something because her ‘job is on the line’.
