Strictly Come Dancing stars Katya Jones and her husband Neil Jones performed together at the press night of their new show Somnium at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London on Thursday. Katya, 30, wore her wedding dress for the occasion, dancing closely with Neil in a routine that showcased their romantic history.
The couple, married since 2013, displayed affection as they performed the story of their relationship. Katya later changed into a second outfit: a tasseled red top and thigh-grazing scarlet shorts. The show, titled Somnium: A Dancer’s Dream, focuses on the highs and lows of their love story but omits the 2018 scandal when Katya was photographed kissing her celebrity partner Seann Walsh.
Neil stated the decision to exclude the incident was deliberate, as the show is meant to celebrate their positive memories. He told the press: 'We've moved on. The show is a celebration of our great time together. 11 years at the end of this month.' Katya jokingly compared the scandal's media duration to Brexit during a This Morning appearance.
Among the audience were fellow Strictly professionals Oti Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Janette Manrara, as well as Dr Ranj Singh and Ore Oduba. The couple's manager, Richard Porter, is portrayed by actor Charles Venn in the production.
