Emmerdale Star and Katya Jones Are Voted Out by Strictly Come Dancing Judges in London After Intense Dance-Off Against Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin

It was a tense night under the glittering lights as the competition reached another one of those painful turning points.

After a nail-biting dance-off, the Emmerdale actor, 30, and his pro partner Katya Jones, 36, found themselves on the wrong side of the judges’ decision.

Their final showdown came against Amber Davies, 29, and Nikita Kuzmin, 27 — and this time, the panel chose to keep Amber and Nikita in the running.

How the Final Moments Unfolded

You could almost feel the frustration ripple through the room.

Both couples laid everything out on the floor, but when the music stopped, the verdict was clear: the judges believed Amber and Nikita edged it.

For the Emmerdale favourite and Katya, it marked the end of what had been an energetic, unpredictable, and genuinely fun run on the show.

A Journey Filled With Grit and Good Spirits

They didn’t go quietly. Week after week, the pair had grown, experimented, and laughed through the mishaps that come with live TV.

Even in their last performance, they fought hard — no slumped shoulders, no surrender.

That determination didn’t go unnoticed by fans who had been rooting for them from day one.

A Tough Exit, But No Regrets

Leaving the show is never easy, especially when you’ve thrown yourself into it the way they did.

Still, the actor and Katya took the result with class, offering smiles, hugs, and heartfelt thank-yous.

It was one of those departures that felt bittersweet but dignified.

What Comes After the Glitter?

Now the question hangs in the air: what’s next?

For the pair, the door to Strictly might have closed for the season, but it’s clear this experience has only boosted their profile, confidence, and connection with fans.

Whether it’s a return to the Emmerdale set, new entertainment projects, or simply a well-deserved breather, their journey definitely isn’t over — just shifting to its next chapter.
