Katya Jones has been spotted in public for the first time since reports she's been axed from her beloved Strictly Come Dancing , four months after her snogging scandal with Seann Walsh.
The 29-year-old Russian dancer, who is married to fellow Strictly professional Neil Jones, was seen looking miserable as she walked her dog near their home.
Katya wore an unusual coat with a pointed message scrawled across the back, which read 'You only know my name, not my story'.
The jacket instantly drew comparisons with Melania Trump , who was slammed for wearing a similar message amid the child detention crisis in the US.
Strictly's Katya Jones confident her snog with Seann Walsh won't mean she's axed
Katya went makeup-free as she walked her pet dog and kept her eyes cast down at her feet.
At one point the talented dancer stopped to check her phone as her black dog eagerly ran ahead.
It comes after Katya was reportedly told she won't be part of the BBC's line-up for Strictly 2019.

There's still a chance she'll be given a role as one of the backing dancers, but it seems unlikely she'll be paired up with a celebrity this year.
But it raises doubts over Kevin Clifton's future on the show after not one but three of his celeb partners split from their respective spouses after dancing a series with him.
Susanna Reid broke up with her long-term boyfriend Dominic Cotton in 2014 following her Strictly stint - but denied speculation it was because of Kevin .

Louise Redknapp ended her marriage to Jamie Redknapp in 2017, months after she and Kevin pasa dobled their way to the final, and now reportedly feels "used and humiliated" by being ghosted as Kevin has now taken up with Stacey - who also dumped her boyfriend weeks ago.
However, a BBC spokesperson has insisted Katya won't be treated any differently to 2018 winner Kevin.
"We wouldn't be treating her any differently to how we treated Kevin," they told the Mail on Sunday.
"It's not like he is guaranteed a celebrity partner this year."
