MARRIED Katya and Neil Jones avoided dancing with each other in tonight's Strictly opener a week after pics emerged of her having a drunken snog with Seann Walsh.
The pro dancing couple often pair up for the eye-catching curtain-raiser, but tonight they kept apart.
The sexy routine saw the male dancers sweep the women off their feet, the latter group wrapping their legs around their hunky partners.
Dressed in red and black corsets the women put on a fierce performance ahead of the dreaded dance off.
Seann was reportedly involved in a "furious showdown" with Neil who told him: "Keep your hands off my wife" after their boozy snogging session behind his back.
The comedian, 32, is believed to have apologised to Neil, 35, after The Sun On Sunday published exclusive pictures of the comic snogging the dancer's wife Katya, 29, on a night out.
reports that during the face-to-face meeting, Neil then told the funnyman to keep his hands to himself.
A source said: "“It was a tense meeting and Neil left Seann clear how unhappy he is. Neil told him in no uncertain terms about how he felt.
"He said he felt betrayed, especially when he trusted Seann. It was very much a case of him telling him to keep his hands to himself.
“Neil told him that the same thing could never happen again.
“Seann felt awful and was deeply apologetic..."
It comes after Seann and Katya returned to Strictly last night for the first time since the scandal to dance the Charleston.
Neil was also at the show and was seen looking grim-faced while Katya and Seann were hugging during the post-dance interview.

The pair publicly apologised for their behaviour earlier this week, after Seann was publicly dumped by his long-term girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.
The actress slammed the comedian in a blistering statement on Twitter, which revealed the kiss had taken place on her birthday.
She claimed the comedian had called her a "psycho" for suspecting him of cheating, and revealed she's moved out of their flat and taken the cat with her.
