Katya Jones Marks a Decade on Strictly, Eyes Judging Role After Belgian Stint

A recent interview signals a possible step from the ballroom to the judging desk.

Overview

  • Jones says her 2016 season with Ed Balls was the first time she felt “good at this,” despite entering Strictly as a multiple British and world Latin champion.
  • She recalls her mother’s blunt message after the 2018 Seann Walsh kiss photos, urging her to stop crying and focus on her work.
  • Having judged on Dancing With The Stars Belgium this year, she says a future place on Strictly’s panel is something she is considering.
  • She describes separating public persona from private life and concentrating on her work to handle intense media attention.
  • She says she is exploring egg freezing for peace of mind, with coverage also noting former partner Wynne Evans was dropped from the Strictly tour for inappropriate language.
