WYNNE Evans and Katya Jones disappeared from screens during Strictly’s Halloween special.
The latest episode of the BBC series saw the pro dancers and their celeb partners dress up for the spooky occasion.
At the start of the show hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman introduced the couples as well as the judges.
Wynne, 52, could be seen dressed as the devil with pro Katya also donning a matching outfit.
However, the pair then disappeared for over 30 minutes, failing to appear on the raised platform with Claudia Winkleman and their fellow contestants.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed at home, with one writing on social media: “Where’s Katya and Wyn?”
A second wrote: “Is Wynne not allowed to be with Claudia and the other contestants at the top of the stairs? Have not seen him there all show.”
“Are they deliberately keeping Wynne & Katya away from the cameras,” asked a third.
Wynne and Katya did eventually appear for their Salsa, earning a total of 31 points, before vanishing once again.
The BBC insisted Wynne was in the ‘Clauditorium’ when contacted by The Sun, despite fans not seeing him.
It comes after the the Go Compare star also disappeared for a period last week.
Earlier this month he was left ‘devastated’ after being embroiled in a ‘TV grope’ scandal.
He could be seen with his hand around professional partner Katya Jones’ waist during a live show.
He later said it was “a stupid joke that had gone wrong”.
Wynne later said on BBC Radio: “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day.
“It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.
“It was a stupid joke that went wrong, OK?
“We thought it was funny. It wasn’t funny.
“It was been totally misinterpreted.”
