Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones has moved swiftly to quash rumours of a genuine feud with chart-topping singer Lewis Capaldi, following a viral video that appeared to show a tense exchange between the pair.
The incident, captured after a performance, sparked concern among fans who feared the beloved singer was in a fragile state. However, Jones has now set the record straight, insisting the moment was a simple misunderstanding blown out of proportion.
'It Was All a Big Misunderstanding'
In an exclusive statement, the award-winning dancer was emphatic. "Lewis is absolutely fine," she declared. "The whole thing was a complete misunderstanding. We were just messing around backstage, and it's been completely taken the wrong way."
Jones expressed frustration that a light-hearted moment had been misinterpreted as a serious argument, adding that Capaldi was in good spirits and that there is no bad blood between them.
A Friendship Forged in Fun
The duo had been collaborating, with Jones choreographing a routine for one of Capaldi's projects. Sources close to the pair suggest their relationship is built on a foundation of playful banter and mutual respect.
This isn't the first time Capaldi's candid nature has been at the centre of online discussion. The singer is known for his self-deprecating humour and open discussions about his mental health, making fans particularly protective.
Jones's clarification will come as a relief to many, putting to rest any speculation about the singer's wellbeing following the awkward-looking encounter.
