Strictly Come Dancing’s Katya shows off physique on a beach break from teaching Ed Balls to cha-cha-cha

STRICTLY sensation Katya Jones swaps her sequins for swimwear as she sprints across the sun-kissed sands.

The Russian pro dancer, 27, flaunted her physique ahead of her biggest challenge yet — getting partner Ed Balls to master the Latin.

She and the ex-Shadow Chancellor, 49, will perform a spooky cha-cha-cha to Hansel ­Martinez’s Love Potion No9 on the BBC1 show’s Halloween Special this week.

Katya will be hoping to avoid last week’s horror show when the former shadow chancellor, 47, almost dropped her on the dancefloor during an awkward lift in their American Smooth routine.
