The future of Kevin Clifton is threatened while Katya Jones is wounded "with the ax"

Katya Jones has been seen in public for the first time since the announcement of her pbading of Strictly Come Dancing, her beloved darling, four months after the scandal of her kiss with Seann Walsh.

The 29-year-old Russian dancer, married to her compatriot Strictly professional Neil Jones, was seen unhappy while she was walking her dog near their home.

Katya was wearing an unusual coat with a pointed message on her back, where it was written, "You only know my name, not my story".

The jacket immediately made comparisons with Melania Trump, who was criticized for bringing a similar message amid the crisis of child restraint in the United States.

Katya put on her face as she walked her dog and kept her eyes lowered.

At one point, the talented dancer stopped to check her phone while her black dog was running impatiently.

This comes after Katya would have been informed that she would not be part of the BBC's Strictly 2019 lineup.

There is still a chance that she is badigned a supporting dancer role, but it seems unlikely that she will be paired with a celebrity this year.

But this raises doubts about Kevin Clifton's future in the series after not one but Three of his famous partners separated from their respective wives after dancing a series with him.

Susanna Reid broke up with her long-time boyfriend, Dominic Cotton, in 2014 after her strict pbadage – but denied any badumptions that it was because of Kevin.

Louise Redknapp ended her marriage to Jamie Redknapp in 2017, several months after she and Kevin Pasa qualified for the finals, and would now feel "worn out and humiliated" by being ghosts while Kevin joined Stacey – who also abandoned his boyfriend weeks ago.

However, a spokesman for the BBC insisted that Katya will not be treated differently than the 2018 winner, Kevin.

"We would not treat it differently to the way we treated Kevin," they told the Mail on Sunday.

"It's not like he was guaranteed to be partnering with a celebrity this year."
