Strictly’s pro Katya Jones suffered an awkward blunder on Saturday’s instalment during her performance with Wynne Jones – before being eliminated.

The Welsh opera singer, 52, and his partner Katya, 35, took to Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom with a Charleston routine to Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les Toreadors by George Bizet.

As the end of the routine included a shower of flying roses, Katya was hit in the face by a flower.

But the ballroom icon was quick to recompose herself and graciously stand back on her feet – shortly before the dancing duo learned they were the eighth couple to be booted out from the compeтιтion. 

Wynne and Katya lost to Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe in a nail-biting dance-off.

Judge Anton Du Beke called the performance ‘extraordinary’, but added that Wynne looked exhausted two thirds of the way in and as a result his form dropped.

‘Pete through, that’s ridiculous. Someone must have spent a toy of money on the phone lines . The words dance of the night,’ tweeted one viewer.

‘Pete’s safe over Montell?’ asked another.
