STRICTLY’S Adam Peaty has posted a cryptic Instagram message about “real ones” after the Katyka Jones near-kiss scandal.
The Olympian, 26 – who is in a relationship with artist Eirianedd Munro – has spoken out for the first time since he appeared to “lean in” for a peck with his dance partner during last night’s show.
Fans of the BBC One show were left shocked when the dad-of-one “nearly kissed” his dance partner at the end of the sexy rendition of the Argentine Tango.
His girlfriend Eirianedd, 23, has since taken to social media to address the situation, and now Adam has too.
Adam wrote to his 570k followers on his Instagram Story : “You soon realise who the real ones are.”
Just hours before their dance, Adam’s girlfriend Eiri – who he shares 13-month-old George-Anderson with – had insisted she’s “not worried” in a cryptic Instagram post.
But after their saucy performance she had a change of heart.
The artist uploaded a video to TikTok of herself pretending to cry which said: “watching your boyfriend almost kiss another woman live on TV”.
She later added: “Finding out 10 million people also watched it live”.
The Welsh lass also retweeted a Strictly fan who’d shared a photo of an unimpressed woman and written: “Adam’s girlfriend when he gets home.”
Recently Olympian Adam admitted he understands why couples are rocked by the show’s famous curse.
Demonstrating a saucy manoeuvre during an interview with The Times, he said: “My hips are here, hers are here, and then we do this… You get close. I can see how it happens.”
Earlier this week, Adam had admitted that Eiri had been left unimpressed after he missed his son’s first birthday due to the show.
He confessed: “It didn’t go down too well but that’s the difficult thing when you do this, everyone has to understand.”
The pair started dating at the beginning of last year after meeting at Loughborough University.
They welcomed their son George-Anderson into the world in September 2020.
Katya was married to Strictly pro Neil Jones, but their relationship ended after she was pictured kissing her celebrity partner Seann Walsh in 2018.
