‘What kind of person says that anyway, but what kind of nutter does that when they are being filmed?’ asked Kelly. Footage published by the Mail on Sunday shows that Evans was caught on film suggesting a group sex session with Manrara and EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. The latter is said to have winced at the remark.

A day later Evans confirmed that he was leaving the tour to “take some time out” and “prioritise my wellbeing.”. Speaking about Evans on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, the veteran TV presenter said he “has” to take a break from his professional duties and “think about what he’s done.”.

“I thought, ‘Come on, I just don’t get it, I don’t know why you would think that,’” she added. “What kind of person says that anyway, but what kind of nutter does that when they are being filmed? It’s bad enough to think it but then say it, I don’t know, I don’t understand. I am baffled.”.
Later that morning, on her own show, Kelly would brand Evans a “complete clown”. This is not the first time that Evans has been involved in controversy during his association with Strictly. After the same episode, a separate clip was shared after fans noticed that Jones refused to give Evans a high five while standing behind the show’s co-host Claudia Winkleman. Jones turned her back on Evans and seemingly rolled her eyes at the opera singer.
