Strictly’s Lewis Cope fell asleep during rehearsal with Katya Jones

Strictly Come Dancing contestant Lewis Cope has revealed he fell asleep during a rehearsal with dance partner Katya Jones.

The actor, who was practising his Rhumba for Saturday’s live show (29 November), made the admission during an exclusive interview with The Independent.

The couple, who were the first this series to score a perfect 40, have been hard at work in their training, as Lewis revealed he had a little nap during Thursday’s rehearsal.

Katya said: “I was telling him what he needed to do better in his rumba and he was asleep.”
