Strictly siren Katya, 33, and Aimee, 31, are starring together on reality show Celebrity Hunted, which they filmed last July.

Speaking of their time on the Channel 4 series, which sees famous faces going on the run from a team of Hunters, Aimee told us: "It was a raw experience.

"I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone other than my best mate, Katya.

"It was such an amazing opportunity. We put our best foot forward, we were the ultimate duo in terms of team work, communication, and I'm proud of us."

Asked if Katya had taken her for a spin on the dance floor, Aimee told us at the launch of : "Strictly is not my forte!

"We have a lot of fun, we do a lot of different stuff and we exchange skillsets. I did gymnastics for two years. I was the elephant of the gymnastics class.

"Katya is always calling me out for bounding in my joints, so we’re working on the posture."

Russian Strictly beauty Katya first revealed their close bond last month when she told The : "We don't get approached by men because people think we're a couple, even my mum."

Aimee added: "And my brother. I don't even know what it is that drives people to think that?"

Today, Katya broke her silence as her ex husband revealed he was set to become a dad with Love Island's Chyna Mills.

Katya shared the couple's magazine cover announcing the news and wrote: "So happy for these two!

"You deserve all the happiness."

Neil and Katya were married for six years before splitting in the summer of 2019, 10 months after Katya was pictured snogging her then Strictly partner Seann Walsh on a night out.
