Strictly’s Nigel Harman cuddles up to partner Katya Jones as they leave rehearsals just hours before first elimination
STRICTLY Come Dancing co-stars Nigel Harman and Katya Jones hugged after leaving rehearsals with a pair of racquets.
The wooden padel tennis bats could be part of the routine – or they were heading to the court.
During the first week, Nigel Harman and Katya Jones secured the highest position on the leaderboard, amassing an impressive 32 points.
Kayta has been a part of the show since 2016 and had actually won the trophy during her second season.
Fans have accused producers of giving Nigel along with co-star Amanda Abbington an unfair advantage.
One fan said: “Hmmm, two weeks in a row that Nigel and Amanda get to be the only ones to dance a certain dance style, while the other contestants double or triple up???”
Nigel is best known for playing Dennis Rickman in EastEnders and Max Christie in Casualty.
The TV soap turned Strictly star has also recently announce that he has re-trained for a career as a meditation teacher.
In his website introduction Nigel states: “I started meditating over a decade ago and I’ve felt the positive impact it has had on my life and on those around me.”
The 50-year-old is married to actress Lucy Liemann, who has also made appearances in several television programs throughout her career, such as The Bill and Agatha Christie’s Poirot.
