Two Strictly Come Dancing stars ‘suffer injuries at same time’ in rehearsals — Rehearsals for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing have been thrown into chaos with two professional dancers both reportedly suffering injuries.
Katya Jones and ex-husband Neil were injured in what is being described as a ‘crisis’ on set.
Both dancers joined the BBC competition in 2016, as a married couple. The pair split in 2019, but remain an active part of the series.
Their recent injuries meant that neither Neil, 44, nor Katya, 37, were able to attend several pre-recorded group dances ahead of the new series launching on September 19th.
Which, in turn, may mean that they risk not being paired with one of the new celebrities when the series returns.

With five new professional dancers having joined the show, there is increased competition among the cast to score a celebrity partner.
A source told The Sun: ‘The pro dancers are under the cosh for filming the group dances, which are played throughout the series, and have a hectic schedule.
‘There was a real crisis on set when both Neil and Katya were injured at the same time and there were concerns they wouldn’t be able to recover in time for the series start in two weeks.’
Both Neil and Katya were back on the dance floor by Friday, but by then, the damage had already been done.
‘They were gutted to miss out on the group dances as it guarantees them screen time if they don’t get a partner, which Neil often doesn’t,’ the tabloid’s source continued.
Neil’s last celebrity partner on the show was in 2024, when he was paired with singer Toyah Wilcox.
As for Katya, she danced with Emmerdale star Lewis Cope last year, until his quarter-final exit in 11.
Neil and Katya are among the survivors of this year’s so-called ‘Strictly bloodbath’ which saw five professionals leave the show.
