OHMYGOSSIP — Katya Jones was trolled after she went from a size six to a size eight over Christmas.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional received comments from online bullies calling her “chunky” after she put on a few pounds over the festive period and she admitted their remarks took a toll on her mental health.
Speaking on the ‘Monday Mile’ podcast, she said: “I see comments. People are saying, ‘Glad to see she’s losing some weight. She was looking a little bit chunky.’ It’s like, ‘I went from a size six to a size eight — and you’re calling me chunky?’
“Mentally it’s not an easy place to be. You’re expected to be that certain shape that represents a dancer.”
However, the 32-year-old dancer tried to keep a positive mindset and continued to treat herself around the holiday season despite the nasty comments.
She added: “I love Christmas. I love socialising. I had cake, it made me happy!
“I try to have a positive mental attitude. I tried to look inside. I try to do what is good for me. I know when I am fit and healthy, I am energised.”
Katya and her dance partner Nicola Adams were forced to quit last year’s BBC Latin and ballroom competition after the professional tested positive for coronavirus but she is now determined to get back on the dance floor for this year’s show, as she loves the hard work and pressure of the competition.
She said: “I crave muscle ache and I want my feet to bleed. I can’t wait for the brain ache from coming up with all the ideas. I absolutely love it. When you do what you love, it is not work. My work is my motivation.”
