My day in style: Katya Jones

KATYA JONES

From 6am hot yoga workouts to easing into gruelling Strictly routines, dance pro Katya,

30, talks us through her nine to five ‘I’VE VOWED TO NOT BUY ANYTHING FOR OR A WHOLE YEAR!’

MORNING:

6AM: I’m not a morning person, but I get up around 6am throughout the year to make the Strictly early starts a little bit easier.

8AM: If I don’t have training, I love going to hot yoga classes and then grabbing a coffee afterwards. If I’m heading to the dance studio, I’ll make a smoothie so I have some energy until lunchtime. I don’t normally have any breakfast.

9AM: I like getting the Tube to work rather than driving, as it means I can have a nap before my long day starts. I always manage to get an extra half an hour in, or I read a book.

10AM: I currently have Strictly training every morning from nine-ish until the evening, which is really demanding, so I try to eat as healthily as I can to give me energy. I’ve swapped carbs, grains and most sugars for healthy fats as part of my Keto diet, which helps me through the day.

12PM: I like to have an early lunch because I skip breakfast. I’m always running around, whether I have training or not, and love Pret salads. Especially their crayfish one. I adore seafood and eat more fish than meat.

AFTERNOON:

1PM: After lunch at training, I’ll have a little top-up of make-up and deodorant. In my bag, I always have my metal water bottle as I’m trying to be more conscious of the environment. I also have some perfume and my trusty Clarins lip balm, which is fantastic.

2PM: I’m most comfortable in my training gear. I love yoga pants and a crop top.

I’m not into designer clothes so I get my essentials from H&M or Primark.

But I’ve actually decided not to shop for a year. I was inspired by Oxfam’s #SecondHandSeptember pledge, where you say no to new clothing for the month, but I’m doing a whole 12 months instead.

5.30PM: If I’m heading out for dinner, I like getting dressed up. I love recycling an old playsuit or a mini skirt, teamed with chunky boots and a biker jacket. I’ll keep my makeup simple with tinted moisturiser and my favourite L’Oréal mascara.

EVENING:

9PM: A night in for me is cooking as soon as I get home because I often get back quite late during rehearsals. I always treat myself to some chocolate after dinner. Then I get ready for bed. I’m not a big fan of watching television – I can’t sit still.

10PM: I’ll take off my make-up with a bamboo cloth and cleanser, pop on a face mask and get into bed. I’ll then have a quick read of a good book, which relaxes me after a hectic day of dancing.
