Strictly Come Dancing stars Katya Jones and Lewis Cope were spotted enjoying a cozy fish and chip date ahead of their upcoming performance in Blackpool. The duo showcased their chemistry while filming behind-the-scenes content for the anticipated special show at the renowned Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Cozy Outing in Blackpool
The pair braved chilly conditions on Thursday to indulge in the classic British dish at a local fish and chip shop. They were seen laughing and joking, creating a warm atmosphere despite the cold weather.
Casual Fashion Choices
Katya, 36, donned a stylish grey wool coat paired with a chunky grey turtleneck and black gloves. She completed her look with fashionable black boots. Lewis, 30, opted for a brown wool coat, buttoned shirt, jeans, and Adidas trainers, both dressed comfortably for a day out.
Social Media Highlights
Both stars shared moments from their day via Instagram stories. Notable posts included a playful picture where Katya gave a thumbs-up next to a “mushy peas” sign, which Lewis humorously captioned: “Two mushes in one photo.” They also wore matching “I love Blackpool” hoodies in another post.
Upcoming Performances
In addition to Katya and Lewis, other contestants looking to impress in the Blackpool special include Amber Davies, Alex Kingston, and George Clarke. Balvinder Sopal and Karen Carney are also competing for the prestigious Glitterball trophy.
