In a recent interview, Evans discussed the incident, prompting Jordan to express his support. Jordan stated on Instagram that he was “deeply moved” by Evans’ account of how the scandal affected him, calling the controversial comments “clearly light-hearted or part of mutual banter.”
Jordan added,”It would be easy to stay silent,like many others have,including some of the so-called friends from Strictly who haven’t spoken out in his defense.But when I see someone being treated unfairly, I can’t stay quiet.”

Evans responded to Jordan’s support, stating that many of his ‘Strictly’ friends were “too scared” to publicly support him. He also addressed the high-five incident with Katya Jones, sharing a video showing it was a running joke between them.
Evans wrote, “Thanks for all the 1000s of messages of support today… I never posted this before cause I didn’t want to have to prove myself but finally for people saying that Katya didn’t high five me because she was annoyed. It was a running joke that we had been going for weeks. Here is the proof.”
