Inside Katya Jones’ birthday bash with Strictly co-stars including teepee and rainbow cake

Strictly Come Dancing pro Katya Jones celebrated turning 33 in style.

The dancer took to Instagram to share a series of snaps of herself laughing as she celebrated her big day with her co-stars, including ex husband Neil Jones.

Alongside the pictures she wrote: “This is a part 1/2 for my birthday post. As it was filled with way too much happiness and joy. I can’t thank my Strictly gang and friends enough for taking their precious time on tour to share this day with me off stage and finishing it on stage with a happy birthday song!

“I felt on top of the world (with the special help of our boys who lifted me up in the air). The biggest shout out to @diannebuswell for hosting us and offering us a love filled space at your gorgeous home where we could acknowledge all the birthdays we had on this tour ( Karen, Neil, Dianne herself and Graziano).

“My heart is as colourful and bright as was my birthday cake @flavourtownbakery – unreal! I went to sleep smiling and grateful, what more can a girl ask for? more photos and words in the next post…. #birthdaygirl”

Dianne created a heavenly birthday set up in her garden complete with a tent, balloons and outdoor seating.

Katya showed off her incredible figure in a pair of jeans, a crop top and orange blazer.

She left her brown hair loose and completed her look with white trainers.

Katya’s birthday cake was a thing of dreams featuring rainbow icing around the outside, six tiers and ice cream designs all round.

She posed with her co-stars who are currently on the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour and Katya showed there is no bad blood with her ex Neil Jones as the pair smiled together in a group photo.

The happy snaps come weeks after Russian Katya rubbished any feud between herself and Ukrainian-born dancers Nikita Kuzmin , 24, and Nadiya Bychkova, 32.

Katya rubbished the claims, however, and insisted that they’re all “nonsense”.

Host Sara Davies asked the 32 year old on today’s edition of Morning Live: “Now Katya I know from being part of the show with you all just what a close-knit group you are.

“But we’ve been seeing reports in the news about rifts in the camp over the Ukrainian crisis. That must be upsetting for you?”

Katya replied: “Yeah Sara, this is total nonsense, you’ve seen first-hand how supportive we are of each other always.

“I do want to make one thing very clear, the invasion of Ukraine is totally wrong, it shouldn’t be happening.”

She added: “We’ve been in regular touch with Nikita [Kuzmin], who’s been very proactive about sharing ways of how to help Ukrainian people.

“I find it really, really upsetting to see what these people are going through. But within our group there’s nothing but love and support.”
