Former Strictly Come Dancing champion Ola Jordan has raised concerns about the fate of contestant Wynne Evans this weekend. The professional dancer, who emerged victorious on the show in 2009, shared her thoughts on the current season, highlighting strong and vulnerable couples. Ola, hailing from Poland, expressed worries that popular opera singer Wynne Evans and his partner Katya Jones might be in danger of elimination following a controversial incident last week.
While acknowledging Evans’ impressive performances on the dance floor, Ola suggested that public sentiment could sway against the duo, potentially jeopardising their future on the show. Ola mentioned, “Wynne could be at risk this weekend too. It’s a tricky one because I would never think they would be in the bottom two, but, after the incident that’s gone on this week, maybe he’s at risk this weekend.” She elaborated that any perception of impropriety could negatively impact viewer support, ultimately affecting the voting outcome for the pair.
The recent controversy stemmed from footage showing Wynne’s hand placed on Katya’s midriff, leading to speculations among viewers. However, both parties clarified that it was intended as a light-hearted moment, with the BBC also formally clearing them of any wrongdoing. Despite this, Ola emphasised the unpredictability of public perception and its potential influence on the competition’s results.
Discussing the overall competition landscape, Ola singled out Dr Punam and Paul as comparatively weaker performers. She outlined potential challenges for Paul in the upcoming Samba routine and anticipated a more favourable showing from Punam in the ballroom dance, positioning her favourably against Paul in potential eliminations. Ola concluded by sharing her hopes for the continued success of Wynne and Katya in the competition.
