Katya Jones has enjoyed a relaxing weekend in the Cotswolds with her former Strictly Come Dancing partner Tony Adams and his family.
The dancer, 34, was paired with the former Arsenal footballer, 57, during the 2022 series of the BBC show, however the couple were forced to withdraw from the competition in week eight after Tony sustained a hamstring injury.
Yet the two have remained firm friends and Katya spent the weekend with him and his family as she took to Instagram to share a series of sweet snaps.
Posing with Tony in the first snap, the couple beamed from ear to ear while a mug with a snap of them from Strictly was conveniently placed on the table.
She captioned the post: ‘Weekend with My Cotswold family. ❤️ Dancing in the kitchen, shopping, singing, cooking and lots of hugs.’

Katya also spent time with Tony’s wife Poppy, as well as three of his children Atticus, Hector and Iris.
He also shares children Oliver and Amber with his first wife Jane Shea, who he was married to until 1997.
Practicing the Strictly moves once again, Katya had a twirl with Hector, before also trialing a lift with Atticus.
Meanwhile the star also caught up with her namesake pig, after Tony named his pet pigs Kat the pig, Anton du Pig and Claudia Winklepig, after his stint in the competition.
She added: ‘FYI – Kat the pig, Anton du Pig and Claudia Winklepig have grown a lot and are doing great!’
While the pair are firm friends now, it wasn’t smooth sailing for them during their time on Strictly, after they got into a ‘heated row’ in the closing moments of the week seven show.
Tony had made a string of mistakes during his Salsa earlier in the night, and ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard, with Katya, admitting she’d shouted at him afterwards.
Tony was then seen speaking very animatedly with Katya when Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly were wrapping up the show, prompting rumours of a ‘heated row’ between the pair.
He later addressed the awkward moment as he confessed Katya could be ‘a little over critical’.

When asked by Susanna Reid and Ed Balls about the reported row on Good Morning Britain, Tony quipped: ‘We constantly argue, don’t we?’
To which Katya joked: ‘We just don’t like each other at all, we don’t get on!’
But Tony candidly continued: ‘We’ve had two months together now. She’s been training me and the routines she’s putting on are incredible.
‘And sometimes when I miss a step, sometimes she’s a little bit over critical and I just want to have a good time as well.
‘So I think it’s a balance between maybe letting me make a mistake and enjoying myself a little bit at times… I’m not an expert in this field.’
But the pair have put all that behind them, with Tony even wishing Katya the best of luck ahead of the new series of Strictly back in September 2023.
Sharing a snap of the pair he wrote: ‘Wishing the best of luck to @katyajones and @themeditating actor [Nigel Harman] for the upcoming series.’
He joked: ‘For God’s sake don’t let her shouting on the dance floor put you off…. Big love to you both’.
