Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Blackpool means so much to @mr_njonesofficial and I. We met here back in 2008. We decided to dance together here. We made our first World Final and went on to win multiple National and International titles here. And now dancing with our Strictly family here is very special. There will always be only one Blackpool. Thank you."
The two dancers were married for six years before going their separate ways in August 2019, following her kiss with her 2018 Strictly partner Seann Walsh. While Katya and Neil are no longer together, they remain close friends.

She told Tim Lovejoy on the Lovejoy Hour podcast back in October: "I absolutely still support him, we are best friends. I know him better than he knows himself. He can't play poker around me, I know his face so well, it's actually a joke.
"His entire family literally became my family. I still call Helen my mother-in-law, we stay in touch constantly. They are my family, there's no other way and that's never gonna change regardless if we find other relationships."
