Katya Jones has found a unique way to while away the time during lockdown. The Strictly Come Dancing pro took to Instagram this week to give fans an insight into how she has been keeping busy during self-isolation – with hilarious results! Katya, 30, transformed her Glitterball trophy to be her double, with false lashes, hair and lipstick, telling her followers: "She still hasn't got a name, but we've made friends! I let her run the house and that’s how we came to peace! Come on guys, get creative with coming up with the NAME FOR THIS GORGEOUS GIRL! She gives Wilson a run for his money!"

Don't get me wrong, I did have low moment too (there was cleaning, laundry and washing up as well) and finally, I got a new friend - HOPE. She will never leave me."
