Strictly Come Dancing Pro Katya Jones Appears to Praise Lawrence Robb

During Strictly Come Dancing’s first live show, viewers thought professional dancer Katya Jones mouthed “fit” to fellow dancer Aleksandra Isaeva after Emmerdale actor Lawrence Robb performed a Paso Doble with Jowita Przystał. The brief, apparently candid moment prompted amused reactions online. Robb and Przystał scored 20 points, while Jones and her partner, YouTuber John Nellis, topped the leaderboard with 31. Jones is marking her tenth year on the show and said she remains grateful to be invited back and still loves dancing on the program.
Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał performed their Paso Doble to Harry Styles’s “Aperture.”
The judges split their 20 points: Craig Revel Horwood gave the pair four, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas gave five each, and Anton Du Beke awarded six. Craig called the dance “very square,” while Shirley praised Robb’s “opening line.”
Jones, 37, is the show’s oldest female professional and has won three world and nine national Latin American championship titles.
Jones said she felt fortunate to return after a lineup change saw several long-standing female professionals leave the show, adding that invitations back are never taken for granted.
