Do you agree with StrictlyComeDancing pro Janette Manrara?
The Strictly Come Dancing pro believes that there is a ‘double standard’ September 26, 2019 - 17:55 BST Jenni McKnight Strictly Come Dancing pro Janette Manrara has claimed the public "overreacted" to the 2018 kiss scandal surrounding Katya Jones and Seann Walsh. The former partners were photographed kissing during a night out, with Katya later apologising for her actions, saying that it was "a one-off mistake".
Appearing on the Jeremy Vine Show on Thursday, she said: "It is in my opinion a bit of a double standard though. Men and women both make mistakes all the time, and there’s no right or wrong in that opinion. You can say, 'That was OK', 'That was OK', 'This was wrong', 'That was not wrong'.
She later added that had it been "any other couple" – both Katya and Seann were in relationships at the time – they would not have received such a strong reaction from the public. She added: "If that had been any other couple going through something in the corner of the street, it’d be like, 'Oh look at those two.' But because they’re part of this huge machine it just got overboard with the attention.
