Taking to Instagram Stories, the star shared a screengrab of herself looking at Catherine, alongside a comment that read: "Oh ya @katyajones your on the telly hen," which she responded: "You make me laugh people!"
Strictly star Katya Jones hit back at rumours that she was giving Catherine Tyldesley evils
Katya and her celebrity partner Mike Bushell found themselves in the dance-off on Saturday night alongside David James and his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova. The pair had performed a Salsa to Jump On It by the Sugarhill Gang, and were saved by all four judges who decided that they gave the more entertaining performance out of the two. Following on from the intense moment, Katya took to Instagram to praise Mike for his hard work. She wrote: "Partner, this was our first dance off. Not a nice place to be, but you handled it brilliantly and we will continue to have fun and work hard for as long as it may continue! I would love for your Strictly journey to be the one you’ll remember with the smile on your face."

The pair have been having a lot of fun throughout the competition and have been entertaining fans with their eccentric dance moves. At the beginning of the month, they hit headlines after Katya fell over during their live dance, and was forced to deny that she was drunk after she pretended to fall over again. Appearing on Loose Women after the incident, Katya opened up about the night, telling the panel: "In the dance hall, it's such a normal thing [to fall over]," she explained. "I just wanted him to carry on – that's all I cared about." Shown a clip of her falling over for a second time, in front of Claudia Winkleman, the dancer confirmed she had done that on purpose for comic effect, adding: "See, that's how good my acting skills are!"
