Rule-breaking performance
Some Strictly fans have accused Wynne Evans of breaking an important show rule after his impressive rumba performance on Saturday. The GoCompare star wowed the judges with his rendition of Shirley Bassey's 'This Is My Life', scoring a remarkable 30 points.
Judges' reactions
Following the dance, co-host Tess Daly praised Wynne's performance, while Anton Du Beke called it the best ending he's ever seen. However, some viewers pointed out a perceived issue with the routine, claiming that singing shouldn't be part of a dancing competition.
Support for the performance
Despite the criticism, some fans appreciated the operatic vocals that Wynne brought to his routine, adding an extra touch to the performance.
Challenges and concerns
Earlier in the week, Wynne expressed his worries about performing the rumba, particularly focusing on getting the hip movements right. He also shared his anxieties about his age and weight, but remained focused on getting through each week of the competition.
Controversy and apology
Wynne faced backlash following a 'grope' incident with his dance partner Katya Jones, which they later clarified as an 'inside joke'. The pair publicly apologized for the misunderstanding, with Wynne expressing his heartbreak over the situation and emphasizing their strong friendship.
Final thoughts
Despite the challenges and controversies, Wynne continues to push forward in the competition, showcasing his talent and passion for performance on the Strictly dance floor.
