Strictly Come Dancing has returned for its Halloween special but fans aren’t convinced everyone is enjoying the experience.
Strictly: Wynne Evans and Katya Jones perform salsa routine
Strictly Come Dancing sensation Wynne Evans has prompted viewer concerns as they suggested he “isn’t enjoying” his stint on the programme anymore.
The beloved BBC dance competition was back on screens this Saturday, October 26, delivering yet another exciting and glamourous episode.
‌
The heat turned up a notch as the celebs left in the running put their best foot forward for Halloween Week, aiming to clinch their spot for the next round.
Eyes were set on Wynne Evans as the Go Compare icon hit the dance floor with his pro partner, seeking to wow the judges and the audience tuned in from home with a spirited Salsa.
Looking visibly spent after his performance, the acclaimed tenor made a weary beeline for Tess Daly to hear what the panel had to say.

Their efforts seemingly paid off, particularly impressing Craig Revel Horwood who awarded the ad favourite seven points.
‌
His fellow judges were feeling more bountiful, each dishing out an eight, positioning him likely near the top of the leaderboard.
But spectators at home sensed something amiss; one eagle-eyed fan expressed worry on platform X, remarking: “Wynne really doesn’t seem to be enjoying the show as much as he did #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing.”
Another shared their observation, posting: “I thought Wyn looked a bit like he was being dragged around a bit #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly.”
‌
Meanwhile, a different user queried: “Anyone else think Wynne is faking a smile or is it just me?”
This week, the couples are pulling out all the stops with their Halloween-inspired routines and costumes, drawing inspiration from classics like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Beetlejuice.
‌
The judges also got into the spirit of the spooky season, with Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke dressing up as the twins from The Shining, Motsi Mabuse as Cruella de Vil, and Shirley Ballas as Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus.
Meanwhile, Wynne has reportedly caused a bit of a stir behind the scenes due to an inappropriate comment. Insiders claim that while preparing for the show, he made a remark about his double chin resembling female anatomy.
‌
The comment was allegedly made before the BBC contest’s kickoff show with the source stating it was a “bit of a vulgar dad joke.”
While the joke didn’t lead to any formal complaints, it seems it didn’t go down well with some crew members.
The insider added: “Wynne clearly didn’t mean any offence, but you have to be a little bit careful these days.”

Strictly Come Dancing continues every Saturday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
