IT looks like under-fire Strictly pair Wynne Evans and Katya Jones have got their sparkle back.
The duo — stung by the backlash to their grope “joke” — were spotted laughing in Cardiff on Wednesday.

The Go Compare opera singer, 52, and his pro partner Katya, 35, appeared downcast just 24 hours before.
Women’s Aid had slammed them for saying it was an in-joke when Wynne grabbed Katya’s waist on Saturday night’s show.
The domestic abuse charity said: “Inappropriate behaviour towards women is no joke.”
Women’s Aid added: “With an epidemic of misogyny and violence against women and girls in the UK, we need a media culture where women feel safe to speak up, where sexually inappropriate conduct is not trivialised or joked about.
“It’s important we challenge inappropriate ‘jokes’ so we don’t continue normalising toxic attitudes that cultivate these forms of gender-based abuse.”
The pair are training in Cardiff, where Wynne presents the BBC Radio Wales lunchtime show.
Katya removed Wynne’s hand from her stomach after he slid it across from her waist and declined to high-five him on Saturday’s show.
The pair have been rapped over the knuckles by BBC bosses for the incident that was broadcast live and has become a viral sensation.
On Tuesday the pair looked downcast as they arrived at their training session in Cardiff as angry viewers called for their axe.
Both stars insisted there was nothing sinister behind Katya’s frosty reaction.
GoCompare crooner Wynne wrote: “We were just messing around. We really are amazing friends.”
