Strictly Pro Katya Jones Confirms How She Was Describing Lawrence Robb
Katya Jones said a text from new pro Aleksandra Isaeva prompted her to correct viewers after a brief moment many thought she mouthed "fit."
On Tuesday, Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones clarified she mouthed "fierce," not "fit," regarding Emmerdale actor Lawrence Robb's performance during Saturday's live show.
Weekend social media speculation focused on the 37-year-old dancer after a balcony camera caught her reacting to Robb's paso doble, with viewers widely debating whether she called the actor "fit."
Ed Balls, her 2016 Strictly partner, initially claimed on Monday's Good Morning Britain that Jones said "fit," before sharing her text correction: "I said fierce."
Robb, 34, performed a paso doble with professional partner Jowita Przystal during the season opener, receiving 20 points from the judges for his first dance.
The 2026 competition moves toward "Movie Week" on BBC One, marking a format shift under new hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe.
