Strictly fans spot Katya Jones crying during final as she supports pal Janette Manrara

Strictly Come Dancing 2020 fans spotted professional dancer Katya Jones shedding a tear or three during the live final.

Katya was clearly proud of her best friend and co-star Janette Manrara who had made it to the final with her partner HRVY.

The star, who had to pull out of the series early on due to a positive coronavirus test, was jumping around to support her friend.

As she cheered her on from the side of the floor with the other dancers and celebrities, viewers were loving it.

But many also caught the star crying on possibly two occasions, clearly overwhelmed with her friend's performances.
