Katya Jones dismisses rumours of Strictly Come Dancing tension

OHMYGOSSIP — Katya Jones has dismissed claims of tension between the Russian and Ukrainian dancers on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’
The 32-year old ballroom dancer has rubbished reports of a rift between some of the professionals due to the ongoing conflict between the two nations
Katya and Luba Mushtuk, 32, both come from Saint Petersburg in Russia, whereas Nikita Kuzmin, 24, and Nadiya Bychkova, also 32, hail from Ukraine.
Speaking to former contestant Sara Davies on BBC’s ‘Morning Live’, she said: “This is total nonsense, we’re so supportive of each other always. The invasion is totally wrong, it shouldn’t be happening.
“We’ve been in regular touch with Nikita. He’s been very proactive. I find it so upsetting to see what they’re going through. Within our group there’s nothing but support.”
Katya also condemned her home nation’s invasion of Ukraine and urged people in power to put an end to the conflict.
She said: “You’ve seen firsthand how supportive we all are of each other always, and I want to make one thing very clear, I think the invasion of Ukraine is totally wrong, it shouldn’t be happening, it must stop.
“We’ve been in touch with Nikita who has been very proactive in sharing ways about how to help Ukrainian people.
“I personally find it really upsetting to see what these people are going through, it’s scary and it’s so wrong on all levels, but within our group there’s nothing but love and support and we can’t wait to come back together again.”
Luba has also hit out at the “untrue” claims that there were tensions behind-the-scenes.
The star said: “It’s been really upsetting to see so much untrue information – we are only about love. We think about the victims and the people who are struggling.”
The show, which is set to return in the autumn, will see all four dancers strutting their stuff once again after the line-up was announced on Thursday (31.03.22)
Other pro dancers set to feature include Dianne Buswell, Graziano Di Prima, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Cameron Lombard, Gorka Marquez, Giovanni Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Kai Widdrington and Nancy Xu.
