Strictly Come Dancing: Katya Jones sending ‘message’ to husband in Seann Walsh toy dance?

Strictly Come Dancing continued tonight and all eyes continue to be on comedian Seann Walsh, 32, and his professional dance partner, Katya Jones, 29.

The pair have hit headlines in recent weeks after they were photographed kissing in London late at night.

Katya is married to professional dancer Neil Jones, 35, and Seann was dating girlfriend Rebecca Humphries at the time of the kiss. The pair have since split.

The scandal has not hindered the couple’s advancement on Strictly however, and the pair have remained in the hit TV show – although they received some criticism from the judges today.

But what did the body language between the two reveal about the pair in their dance tonight?

“With her husband bizarrely dressed in a costume that made him look like the caged captive of a huge gorilla (you really did have to be there) Katya took the role of a clockwork doll to Seann’s Crazy Toymaker,” said author and body language expert Judi James.

“Seann seems to feel he is now completely back in the bosom of the public again and arrived with yet another arrogant pose before then joking around behind Katya while she stood watching the other dances.

“At one point he did seem to throw a ‘look’ at the gorilla standing behind him but perhaps Neil was quietly taking full advantage of his intimidating costume.

“For some reason that we can only guess about, Katya chose to choreograph herself as a poor rigid and helpless doll under the spell of a crazed toy maker played by Seann.

“If this was some kind of message to Neil and the public it didn’t work in terms of their hopes in the competition as Seann was wooden and the judges were critical.

“Her smile looked sickly on the balcony and when Claudia said ‘we thought you’d smashed it ‘ even Seann looked uncomfortable.”

The scandal between Katya and Seann does not appear to have affected her relationship with her husband. The couple were pictured heading to a hotel in London last night.

Katya beamed away to the camera as she linked her arm into Neil’s as the pair put on a united front.

The Russian born dancer was dressed in a pair of navy leggings and matching coloured bomber jacket.

The star finished her look with a pair of trainers and wore a white bodywarmer for the chilly evening.

Neil wasn’t as smiley as his spouse as he placed his hands in his coat pocket , they walked along the pavement.

Speaking of the infamous Seann and Katya kiss, Strictly Come Dancing co-star Graeme Swann, 39, has claimed they all “joked about it”.

Speaking about the situation, Graeme told The Mirror: “ We joked about it, there was no point doing anything else.

“He got himself in a pickle, it’s uncomfortable for anyone the first meeting, you don’t really know what to say.”

The cricketer continued: “People were hurt, I’m not making light of it, but I see the other side of it. You’re there for your mate, at the end of the day.”

The Strictly Come Dancing hopeful admitted he couldn’t think of “anything worse than getting embr­oiled in something like that”. He added: “That’s not for me.”
