Katya Jones has shown that her relationships with her fellow professional dancers go way back before their Strictly Come Dancing successes as she shared an incredible throwback photo.

The dancer is currently preparing to perform in Blackpool alongside her celebrity dance partner Wynne Evans as the show relocates to the seaside town for one weekend only with Saturday night's (November 16) show being broadcast live from the famous Tower Ballroom.

Katya and the opera singer had to fight for his place in the competition last weekend in week nine of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series during the latest results show on Sunday (November 10) after landing in the dance-off against Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu.
