Strictly Come Dancing’s Katya Jones’s cowgirl routine deemed ‘full horror’
Strictly Come Dancing's Katya Jones and her celebrity partner raised eyebrows after delivering "full horror" with a routine on the BBC show.
Sports presenter Mike Bushell, 53, and professional dancer Jones, 30, performed the American Smooth while wearing cowboy and cowgirl outfits.
Jones admitted it was a "risky routine", which ended with Bushell eating a banana.
So many lifts. This sure isn't Buffalo Bushell's first #Strictly rodeo and it won't be his last! 🤠@mikebreakfast@mrs_katjonespic.twitter.com/3I35zowe0d

Head judge Shirley Ballas said: "It looked like country and western line dancing", but she added: "I do enjoy watching you."
Bruno Tonioli quipped: "It's like a psychotic cliffhanger... No more of this, I don't think I can take it".
And he added: "A bit of dancing next time, don't go for full horror."

Craig Revel Horwood said it was "very, very odd" and the couple got 14 points.
Viewers had a mixed reaction.
Oh my god, @Mrs_katjones is amazing. She was only ever going to be given a dad-dancer this season, unfortunately. But those lifts. She does everything to give her partners great dances. She deserves a proper ability partner next year. #Strictly#katyajones
