In the caption of their apology video, Wynne wrote: "Apologies for this tonight we were just messing around. We really are amazing friends. The high 5's is a running joke. Have a great evening @katyajones." However, speaking to Online about the interaction, body language expert Judi James
She also noted Katya appeared to have “clenched teeth” in the footage. Judi explained: “Katya is [Strictly’s] most skilled masker. When she's been under pressure in past seasons, her already famous smile has widened and her energy levels have increased - rather than dimmed. Bravado and a will to win are her forte.

There's no signals of joking, or fun, or [a] relaxed, close friendship in this video either, like eye contact or shared chuckling. His smile looks forced and Katya ends with what look like clenched teeth.”

How is that a 'joke'?" Another added: "And the hand sliding across the waist? Was that a joke too?" Someone else commented: "Please leave … you’re making your partner uncomfortable, not cool!!"
