Strictly’s Katya Jones has hit back at claims she’s got beef with celebrity contestant Catherine Tydesley after fans spotted her particularly venomous glare in her direction.

Viewers began suspecting a feud after Katya was spotted looking less than pleased when former Corrie actress Catherine and her professional dance partner Johannes Radbe outscored her with a score of 28.

But a defiant Katya took to her own Instagram to poke fun at the accusations, writing simply, "you make me laugh, people!"
