Just stick a guitar between them, real casual.
Last night, Seann Walsh and Katya Jones danced their second Strictly number after being caught sharing a kiss on a night out in London.
The pair performed the quickstep to Jake Bugg’s ‘Lightening Bolt’ with Walsh playing the part of a street performer who carried his guitar around for some of the routine.
And while such a gimmick would have been fairly normal during props week, last night it appeared to act more as a distraction.
Viewers took to Twitter to air their confusion and to note the prominently placed guitar.
They also pointed to the fact that Walsh and Jones were dancing at opposite ends of the floor for much of the routine as proof that Strictly producers were trying to keep the pair “apart” – despite literally dancing together and spending every waking moment alongside one another.
The BBC are literally putting a guitar between Seann and Katya to keep them apart now 😂 #Strictly

Walsh and Jones were spotted kissing two weeks ago, later issuing online apologies to anybody they had offended.
Walsh’s now ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries penned a striking and telling open letter to Walsh – and to any women who had ever doubted themselves – detailing the troubling aspects of their relationship.
In it, she urged women to trust their guts and keep their support network close.
She also revealed that Walsh had called her “psycho” when she had questioned him about the affair.
He and Jones received a score of 24 for their quickstep last night.
