Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones has shared a sweet throwback snap of herself alongside fellow dancer Luba Mushtuk ahead of this weekend’s show in Blackpool.
The 33-year old Russian looked unrecognisable in the photo, in which the pair could be seen standing on the steps of the Tower ballroom some 20 years ago.
In a second image the duo recreated their original shot two decades on, appearing together in the same spot they had done as children all those years ago.

“Here is your answer to the question – why is Blackpool so significant to dancers? #strictlycomedancing #strictly #scd #katyajones.”
“20 years ago I was already wearing black,” Luba joked in response.

She then made a quick but brutal swipe at the former Arsenal star and said: “He’s gonna blame me for leaving the competition now!”

Tony later revealed that Katya had “shouted” at him during the live show.
