Strictly Come Dancing viewers were expecting to see Wynne Evans and his professional partner Katya Jones on Wednesday’s instalment of It Takes Two.

However, minutes into the programme, host Janette Manrara informed fans this wouldn’t be the case.

Despite Fleur East confirming that Wynne was expected to appear on It Takes Two on Wednesday, it seems that there was a last-minute change.

Janette said, “If you’ve got any questions like, ‘Why are Chris and Dianne on when yesterday we said it was going to be Wynne and Katya?’ It’s live TV, guys. You’ve got to roll with it, alright? Just roll with it.”

It wasn’t long before viewers took to Twitter to question the sudden change.

One person on Twitter wrote: “Obsessed with Janette addressing the change. It was meant to be Wynne today but it’s Chris & Dianne instead. I wonder where Wynne is today?” (sic)

Another commented: “What’s wrong with Wynne And Katya?”

Someone else tweeted: “Wonder why the sudden guest swap for it takes two tonight #strictly”

It’s not yet known why Wynne and Katya pulled out of It Takes Two at the last minute, and neither contestant addressed the issue on social media.

On Sunday night, Wynne found himself in the dance-off for the first time against Shayne Ward. It was clear the judges were divided when it came to who should remain in the show.

Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse opted to keep Shayne, while Anton Du Beke wanted to save Wynne. This meant it was down to head judge Shirley Ballas to make the final call.

In the end, she decided to save Wynne and Katya, ending Shayne’s time in the competition.

Speaking about his time in the show, Shayne said: “I just want to say, you guys up there [the other contestants] are a dream. Every single day, coming in here and seeing you guys you helped me so much.

“I want to say thank you to the audience as well for always being amazing for us all. This has been, honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever done.”

Nancy added: “I’m beyond proud of this dance partnership. Shayne from week one until this point, every second you put your feet on the dancefloor you improved yourself.

“You’re a deep thinker, you always doubt yourself, you never believed yourself, but I never ever questioned you. When I watch you, I feel proud because I’ve turned someone who has never ever danced in their life into an amazing dancer. You should believe in yourself. I adored this partnership.”
