Katya Jones appeared to reveal her true feelings about Lawrence Robb after he completed a Paso Doble on Strictly Come Dancing last night (Saturday, September 26).

Fans are convinced they know what the professional dancer thinks about the Emmerdale star, after she was seen turning towards new pro Aleksandra Isaeva on the balcony and whispering one word.

Katya is paired with YouTuber John Nellis, while Lawrence is competing alongside Jowita Przystał this series.

What Katya Jones appeared to say about Lawrence Robb

The broadcast cut to the stars above the dancefloor immediately after Lawrence and Jowita’s routine.

Katya was seen turning towards Aleksandra, with the footage appearing to show her saying: “Fit.”

The blink-and-you-miss-it moment quickly drew attention from viewers following the programme.

“#Strictly did Katya just mouth ‘fit’?” one fan tweeted. 

“Did Katya say ‘fit’ after Lawrence’s dance? [crying emojis]” another said.

“Haha Katya mouthing ‘fit’ after Lawrence’s dance,” a third tweeted.

Katya Jones still wants the Strictly glitterball

Katya joined Strictly in 2016 and is marking her tenth year as one of its professional dancers. The 37-year-old’s record includes three world and nine national Latin American championship titles.

Despite that experience, she said an invitation back is never treated as automatic.

Katya said: “I’m still going to try. I will do my best; that’s all I can do. I can’t control the audience, but I’m holding that hope yet again.”

After ten years, she also described herself as the programme’s oldest female professional.

She said: “I’m really grateful. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t like it, and I still really love it.”

Strictly Come Dancing’s first live show brings more reactions

The exchange was captured during the series’ first live show, when Lawrence and Jowita presented their Paso Doble.

Elsewhere, Craig Revel Horwood criticised Cach Mercer’s quickstep for including too much freestyle content.

He said that emphasis made the routine difficult to judge as an example of the required dance genre.

Craig also took issue with Dani Dyer’s feet, prompting a furious-looking expression from her father, Danny Dyer.
