KATYA Jones reunited with her Strictly partner Nigel Harman for dinner this week.
The pair grew close during this year’s competition, but were forced to pull out after the former EastEnders actor suffered an injury.
But they have stayed in touch and looked cosy as they enjoyed a slap up meal with pals.
Katya looked delighted with a large glass of red wine, telling fans: “What a beautiful evening.”
Nigel, 50, had to quit Strictly after an injury to his rib left him in A&E and unable to dance.
He said at the time: "I was leaping off a rostrum and was about to be caught by some handsome men, and as I flew I was Peter Pan and as I landed I was in A&E.
"I've done something to my rib, it's quite painful and I'm a little bit high on painkillers but I'm having a lovely time."
Katya was heartbroken by the news and told fans: "What an abrupt ending. But when the dust has settled, I know only beautiful memories will remain in my heart.
"When we turned up every day and had our coffees, when we would have discussions about the story of our dance and our characters, every time you made me laugh, every time you gave me a reassuring hug.
"When I would get excited about your toilet breaks because you always belted out some amazing tunes whilst doing your business. Giving the first preview of our dances to your family, and see their faces light up.
"The support of your friends and countless messages of love and encouragement that we received. The list can go on."
Nigel did however manage to return for the final group number of the series – leaving fans delighted.
