Strictly Come Dancing’s Fan Favorite Praises Katya’s Ingenious Strategy With Lewis
Katya Jones Shines with Actor Lewis Cope in Strictly Come Dancing’s Exciting 2025 Series
In the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing, professional dancer Katya Jones has been paired with actor Lewis Cope, creating a whirlwind of performances that have captured the audience’s attention. Emegypt reports that the duo, featuring Jones’ innovative choreography and Cope’s theatrical flair, has continually piqued the interest of viewers and judges alike, despite facing tough critiques.
Katya and Lewis Overcome Strictly’s Judging Challenges
Lewis Cope, well-known for his roles and theater background, including his performances in Billy Elliot and achievements with dance group Ruff Diamond, has embraced the dancing challenge posed by Strictly Come Dancing. However, the judging panel has been rigorous, with head judge Shirley Ballas and fellow judge Anton Du Beke urging for more refinement in their routines.
Last week, after executing a Viennese Waltz to Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” Ballas deemed the act “too aggressive,” while Du Beke called for greater subtlety and elegance in Cope’s movements.
Debbie McGee Praises Katya’s Strategic Approach
As reported by Emegypt, Debbie McGee, a former Strictly finalist and Christmas Special winner, applauded Katya Jones during an exclusive interview, noting her strategic brilliance in showcasing Lewis’ abilities. McGee commented on Katya’s clever approach, stating, “She’s highlighting his potential now, and will gradually transition to more traditional dancing, holding back nothing of his skills.”
Upcoming Movie Week Performance: A Must-Watch
This weekend promises an exciting showcase as Lewis and Katya prepare to deliver a Paso Doble inspired by The Mask of Zorro, adding to the excitement of the show’s highly-anticipated Movie Week. The stakes are high following the recent elimination of duo Amy Dowden and Thomas Skinner.
The competition remains fierce, as seen last weekend when former rugby star Chris Robshaw and his partner Nadiya Bychkova won the dance-off, securing their spot in the competition. Strictly Come Dancing continues to thrill audiences on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
