Strictly Come Dancing viewers claimed they ‘can’t understand’ the scoring of Wynne Evans’ latest routine. The Opera singer wasn’t only dancing on Saturday night (November 2) as he pulled off a surprise twist during his week seven performance.
Wynne and his dance partner Katya Jones performed the notoriously difficult Rumba to This is My Life by Shirley Bassey which saw the GoCompare advert star open up about his struggles with his mental health and told how he finds the song by his Welsh compatriot empowering and emotional.
The emotional dance ended in a dramatic fashion as Wynne suddenly stopped dancing and began singing, leaving viewers gobsmacked.

Anton Du Beke described the move as the “best ending ever” before telling Wynne to “improve your spatial awareness but marvellous”. Motsi Mabuse, meanwhile, said she loved his “passion” but said he was “slightly unbalanced” and needed to finish his moves.
Wynne and Katya went on to achieve a total of 30 points out of a possible 40 from the judges. But fans weren’t too happy after Shirley Ballas pointed out a mistake in the middle of their routine.
@Steph832 said: “I can’t understand why the judges keep giving Wynne these high marks, there is absolutely no way that Rumba deserved one 8 let alone two. #Strictly.” @LauraSianDixon commented: “No seriously why does Wynne keep getting overmarked? What’s going on #Strictly.”
@see75 posted: “Wynne was VERY overmarked #strictly.” @AaronLR1991 shared: “Wynne and Katya were completely overmarked there. #Strictly.” @mchlrchr added: “Sam lower than Wynne? I should be angry but I’m not surprised now. It’s so ridiculous how obvious they are over marking him. #Strictly.”
