Katya Jones from Strictly Come Dancing has hinted at a possible departure from the BBC show. Amid reports of a focus on younger dancers for the upcoming season, including Neil Jones, Gorka Marquez, and Katya herself potentially being dropped, there are uncertainties about her return.
The 35-year-old dancer supported her celebrity partner Wynne Evans after he was removed from the Strictly Come Dancing UK tour earlier this year due to an inappropriate comment. Following the fallout from the incident, Katya is reportedly feeling betrayed and contemplating her future on the show.
In a recent Instagram post, Katya mentioned exciting projects lined up for 2025, hinting at a potential shift in her career focus. Despite expressing her desire for a comeback in earlier interviews, the current situation with Wynne has raised doubts about her participation in the upcoming season.
After Wynne decided to take a break from his BBC radio show and the Strictly Live tour for self-reflection, Katya stood by him, expressing her support on social media. However, with new claims surfacing against Wynne and the handling of the situation, Katya’s loyalty to the show is being questioned.
As the drama unfolds, sources close to Katya reveal her distress over the situation and concerns about her future involvement with the show. The ongoing developments may influence her decision on whether to return for another season of Strictly Come Dancing.
