WITH his Rumba fast approaching, Strictly’s Wynne Evans has opened up about his worries two days before this weekend’s live shows.
Wynne and his pro partner Katya Jones are set to deliver their dance to Dame Shirley Bassey’s ‘This is My Life’.
Their Rumba, which is for the show’s special Icons week, has left Wynne worrying as he reveals one huge concern.
Talking to It Takes Two he said: “Rumba I’m enjoying but I don’t know if I’m doing it right. I’ve got concerns about the hips. The hips, the hips, the hips.”
Katya then showed her support, saying, “The hips are getting looser. Wynne’s got beautifully shaped long legs so if we can put the legs with the hips, it’ll be perfection.”
“Can we get there by Saturday, who knows?”
Wynne had already admitted to feeling anxious about his upcoming dance, telling fans during an Instagram Q&A: “I don’t know. I don’t look at what’s coming up. I just have to focus on getting through this week.”
“I’m now the oldest and the fattest, so the fact I’ve made it this far is incredible.”
“So just focus on this week and getting through this week and then we’ll see if I’m there next week.”
“There’s a lot of hips in the rumba, I may have actually discovered where my hips are.”
It’s been a rocky road to reach the Rumba.
The 52-year-old singer has faced a huge backlash following a ‘grope’ incident with Katya Jones, which left the couple having to publicly apologise for what they called an ‘inside joke.’
Wynne admitted to feeling ‘heartbroken’ after their joke was misconstrued.
The pair posted a video on Instagram assuring everyone they were just messing around and it had been taken out of context.
However he said: “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day.”
“It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.”
He continued: “She wasn’t offended in the least. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable.”
“We’ve got a brilliant friendship, an absolutely tight friendship, and I’m sorry if anybody was offended by it, but it was a joke. And that’s all there is. There is no real story, really.”
“I feel weird apologising becaise I feel like I’ve not really done anything.”
