BBC Strictly's Nigel and Katya are 'really happy' as they cosy up in park
Strictly Come Dancing stars Nigel Harman and Kayta Jones took some time away from their dance rehearsals this week and headed out to a park for some relaxation and recuperation ahead of their next ballroom performance.
On Thursday, the dancing duo enjoyed some peace and quiet as they left the dance studios to head out into the fresh air, where Katya told her celebrity dance partner that she was 'really happy' with their progression in the BBC dance competition.
Appearing on Katya's Instagram stories, former EastEnders star Nigel, 50, shared some insight into their daily rehearsals as he said he was glad to be out in Mother Nature: "This is our luxurious lunch area today, we are sitting in a famous park in London with the birds all around us, who are basically standing there saying 'give us some food' while my legs seize up."
Clearly in a giddy mood, Nigel beamed from ear-to-ear as she asked his professional dance partner how she was feeling ahead of their next dance, to which Katya, 34, replied: "I'm very happy actually...to be outside."

Katya further shared her appreciation for the little things in life while sitting in the park with Nigel as she said that she was grateful to be able to switch off for a short while amid the hectic dance rehearsals.
"Today's mantra from me was there is too much of everything around, too much news, too much social media, too much opinions, too many shops, too much...too much. Do you know what I enjoyed today, looking at the dog on the tube," she said.
Strictly Come Dancing returned on Saturday night for the series' iconic Movie Week – but some fans were left baffled over on judge's comment to Nigel and Katya after their performance
The feedback caused a stir on social media, with many viewers suggesting actor Nigel and his partner, Katya Jones, were scored too highly by three of the four judges. The pair donned Batman and Robin costumes as they performed a jive, which head judge Shirley described as a "lovely performance".
Anton duly agreed, stating it was a "tremendous performance" before quipping he would have loved to have had the opportunity to wear his "pants over his tights." But, after further praise from Motsi, Craig offered a different opinion unsurprisingly somewhat, declaring that he thought the high-energy superhero routine was "flat".
Many fans took to X (formerly Twitter) shortly afterwards stating that they agreed with Craig, however, with some questioning if Motsi, Shirley and Anton had been watching "another performance". One commented: "The judges are being over generous. He was very untidy. #StrictlyComeDancing."
Another agreed: "A bit stompy and clumpy by @NigelHarmanUK this week. Last week was far better. Not bad though #StrictlyComeDancing." A third added: "Thought that jive was dull #StrictlyComeDancing." And a fourth pondered: "#StrictlyComeDancing were we watching the same dance as the judges?"
Nigel and Katya scored a respectable 25, but fell someway short of Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu's impressive 35 for for their Charleston interpretation of Who's Got The Pain? from Damn Yankees. They were closely followed by Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer, who were awarded 34 for their Men In Black street dance.
