The pair, who are currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing, were seen getting close and laughing together while filming some behind-the-scenes moments for Saturday’s special show.
The BBC One stars were pictured posing with a “mushy peas” sign in one of their Instagram stories as Lewis wrote: “Two mushes in one photo.” They also shared another snap wearing matching “I love Blackpool” hoodies inside the rehearsal room, appearing all smiles and in high spirits.
Behind-the-Scenes Preparation for Saturday’s Show
Katya Jones and Lewis Cope were not the only stars preparing for their Blackpool performances. Other contestants like Amber Davies, Alex Kingston, George Clarke, Balvinder Sopal, Karen Carney, and Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington were also seen putting in extra effort to ensure they are ready for Saturday’s highly anticipated special show.
However, La Voix had to withdraw from the competition due to an injury. In a touching statement on Instagram, she wrote: “It is with immense sadness that I have to withdraw from this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing shows in Blackpool. Due to an injury, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to perform, and my heart truly breaks knowing I won’t be dancing in such an iconic venue.” The statement was followed by a photo of her partner Aljaž Skorjanec comforting her.
Strictly Come Dancing: Blackpool Special
The Strictly Come Dancing Blackpool special airs on Saturday at 6:45pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Fans can expect to see the remaining contestants giving their best performances, with the judges providing their expert critiques.
In a close dance-off last weekend, Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington were voted off after finding themselves in the bottom two alongside EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal and her dance partner Julian Caillon. Despite finishing second to last, Vicky expressed: “It was so lovely while it lasted and I’ve had the nicest time.”
