Strictly Come Dancing viewers have expressed concern for professional dancer Katya Jones after she broke down in tears during an appearance on It Takes Two following the elimination of her celebrity partner, Lewis Cope.
Jones, who was partnered with Emmerdale star Cope, blamed herself for their exit, saying: 'Looking back, I can't help but think how maybe I could have done things differently and to make it work for him better.' She added that they were under pressure to deliver 'almost perfect show-stopping routines' each week.
Fans took to social media to share their worry, with one describing the interview as 'heartbreaking' and another saying: 'I’ve never seen her so upset. It looks like she’s been crying all weekend.'
Cope, who had topped the leaderboard and achieved the first perfect score of the series, was eliminated after a dance-off against West End star Amber Davies. He reflected positively on his journey, telling Jones: 'You’ve made me fall in love with dance, but you’ve also made me fall in love with life again.'
The remaining semi-finalists are Davies, Balvinder Sopal, George Clarke, and Karen Carney. The semi-final airs on Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC One, with the results show on Sunday featuring performances from Kylie Minogue and Five.
