PARANOID Strictly bosses have given Wynne Evans and Katya Jones an extra companion following their “wandering hand” incident.
In addition to an extra pair of eyes during Saturday’s shoot, staff have been asked to be extra cautious.

They knew all eyes would be on the Go Compare ad of the opera singer, 52, and his professional partner, 35, after last week’s furore.
Katya was seen on air pulling Wynne’s arm away after he put it around her waist. She also rejected his attempt to high-five her.
It comes after a scandal-filled summer for the BBC show, but Wynne and Katya passed it off as an “inside joke”.
A source said: “Instead of just one, each had a companion and the entire crew was largely on standby.
“It was thought to be a way to prevent any other stupid pranks but also to protect Katya if Wynne’s waist grabbing was not the prank they insist it was and was indeed groping.
“In any case, the bosses felt it would be wise to keep an extra eye on them to prevent further offences.”
Both were checked by the BBC’s welfare team following last week’s incident.
Katya confirmed that she did not feel uncomfortable and that no action was taken.
But a source said Wynne and Katya “barely spent time together off camera” on Saturday.

However, fans backed the pair, who performed a quickstep, and voted to send them straight through to next week.
The BBC did not comment on the matter when asked yesterday.
