Katya Jones makes defiant statement after Wynne Evans' axe from Strictly tour

Professional dancer Katya Jones appears to have a subtle tribute to Wynne Evans backstage on tour. Wynne, 53, had been working alongside dance partner Katya, 35, on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour but it was announced earlier this week that he would be taking "some time out". His departure from the tour comes after he made a demeaning remark to its host Janette Manrara recently, for which he later issued an apology.
Katya - who had been partnered with him for the BBC show last year, prior to the tour - has already teased that she "missed" Wynne after performing without him in Liverpool on Tuesday night. She now appears to have revealed that she has a memento of their friendship in her dressing room at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool.
She took to Instagram on Wednesday evening ahead of the cast's final show at the arena to share a photo of herself backstage. Katya was seen posing for a selfie in a dressing room. A polaroid-like photo, which appeared to be of Wynne in a pink jumper, was visible at the side of her mirror. Alongside a waving emoji close to the keepsake, she wrote: "Hello.".
The tour is continuing without Wynne following his recent departure. It comes after it was previously revealed that he had referenced a sexual act whilst at a photocall with his co-stars during the launch in Birmingham. As previously reported, the comment came after host Janette walked over to the group. Wynne sang out "Go Compare" before adding: "Not too close to Jamie [Borthwick]." He then appeared to use the term "spit roast," in reference to a lewd sexual act, in the video published by Daily Mail.
