It's not what it looks like!
Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones has spoken out in defense of her celebrity partner Wynne Evans after a video of an 'awkward hand incident' from Saturday's show went viral.
In the video, you see Wynne Evans - best known for being 'the Go Compare Man' - slide his arm around Katya in the background while Claudia Winkleman is speaking to the camera, before Katya pushes his arm back.
The video went viral on social media as thousands of people speculated what was happening between the dancing couple.

To put an end to the speculation, Katya and Wynne uploaded a video to social media together, explaining that the whole thing was a "silly joke".
Katya then went on to make a separate video on her own social media, reiterating that incident was not what it looked like.
" I need to make something crystal clear," the dancer said in the video, "The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was an inside - a very silly, very silly - inside joke between Wynne and I."
"So even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense," she continued.
"It's quite absurd actually. Now, can we just focus on how brilliantly he's doing and what an amazing dancer he's becoming?"
Some Strictly fans aren't buying it however!
"If it’s a joke it’s not funny in the slightest. Something feels very off," one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"I could be wrong but it looks like they’re trying to silence her. the show has enough on their plate with the giovanni situation and feels like they’re trying to stop anymore scandals from coming out," another fan speculated.
However fans of Katya and Wynne have spoken out against the sceptics.
"It’s amazing how you’ve all decided that you know more about something than the two people involved know about it themselves. Seriously, get a grip, get out more and focus on yourselves," one person wrote in the comment section of Katya's Instagram video.
One thing's for sure is that Strictly doesn't need anymore scandals attached to it!
