Wynne Evans and Katya Jones on THAT Mrs Doubtfire dance and what to expect on this week's Strictly Come Dancing
Everyone is taking about Wynne Evans and Katya Jones' Mrs Doubtfire-inspired cha cha on last weekend's Strictly Come Dancing.
The Welsh opera singer, known for his role as Gio Compario in the GoCompare adverts, donned the wig, glasses and stockings to play the character during Movie Week for the BBC dance competition.
Although Wynne is reluctant to call it a competition, due to his fondness for his fellow celebrities and dance professionals. Instead, he likes it to call it an "entertainment programme", as you will hear in their chat with the Mirror's Janine Yaqoob.
Direct from their rehearsals, the dancing duo discuss getting into character for last week's performance, their plan for this Saturday's Tango to ABBA's 'Money, Money, Money', and why Wynne - who won Celebrity MasterChef in 2023 - hasn't found the time to cook for Katya yet, despite her former dance partners offering up their culinary treats.
