KATYA Jones and Lewis Cope were caught working up a sweat preparing for the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
The pro dancer, 36, and actor, 30, were fan favourites on the latest series of the popular dance competition, consistently waltzing away with high scores from the judges.
But the show coming to a close hasn’t meant they can let up on their training, as the dance duo are now heavily preparing for the live tour which is only a matter of weeks away.
Lewis and Katya were caught by paparazzi in London looking incredibly sweaty and exhausted in a dance studio.
It’s rumoured that they’ve been rehearsing as much as nine hours per day ahead of the tour starting.
During the tiring repeat of their routines, Lewis opted to wear a black vest top and comfortable black trousers.
His toned arms popped as he brushed a hand through his hair, taking a breather before resuming dance practise.
Meanwhile Katya opted to wear a brown two piece set consisting of a brown cropped top and sports leggings.
The crop perfectly frames her abs, showcasing how fit her figure has become from so many years on the dancefloor.
In one photo Katya’s hair can be seen with literal beads of sweat trickling down from them, falling to the floor.
Lewis is standing next to her, his skin shining with perspiration.
Lewis is somehow fitting in the intense dance training around shooting for his upcoming Channel 5 acting gig.
He landed a role in drama series Forever Home, drawing its storyline from the bestselling novel of the same name penned by Graham Norton.
The six-part series is set for release this year, though exactly when remains unknown.
The suspenseful series follows the life of a woman called Carol who discovers that her husband murdered his ex-wife and hid her in the basement of their family home.
Carol was under the illusion that she had one day ran away from him and simply never came back.
Though once one web of lies begins to untangle, Carol realises there are far more to navigate.
Starring alongside Lewis are a stellar cast of big name actors and actresses including Amy Nuttal from Downton Abbey, Douglas Henshall from The Revenge Club, and Denise Welch from Waterloo Road.
Also confirmed as members of the new show are Kevin Whately (The Inheritance), Jenny Walser (Heartstopper), Shane Zaza (Big Boys), and James Baxter (Waterloo Road).
Lewis’s most notable acting venture was his role in Emmerdale where he played the character of Nicky Miligan from late 2022 until July 2024.
He received an NTA nomination for his performance, though sadly didn’t win.
