Speaking about what she'd learned from them so far, she shared a hilarious anecdote about Jamie Laing and his tattoos. She explained: "Jamie has the most random tattoos ever. For example, on his forearm he's just got the word 'small'. I told him never to approach girls on that side of his body." Chatting about David James and James Cracknell, she continued: "James and David are so much taller than I expected, they're humongous, they're so tall! So tall." She also revealed that Chris Ramsay can do a cartwheel, and praised Emma Weymouth's "body to die for", adding: "Wardrobe are gonna love dressing her."
Katya also revealed that the first celebrity of the year had taken a tumble; Saffron Barker! Speaking about the unfortunate incident, she said: "We had our first fall today, it was Saffron. But Gorka, it was all your fault, you got in the way. I can confirm. And she was so graceful, great recovery, straight into the routine." Katya appears to be in great spirits just days after revealing her split from her husband, Neil Jones.
