STRICTLY pro Katya Jones admitted people thought she was “on something” and “needed to see a doctor” after her two dramatic falls.
But the performer says insists the tumbles, which came mid-way through her Cha-Cha-Cha with celeb partner Mike Bushell and later on the staircase, were “no big deal”.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast today, Katya said: “I’m a professional ‘faller-over’.
“It was quite ridiculous that people thought I was drunk that I was on something that I need to check with the doctor.
“The second fall was clearly for fun, to take the mick out of myself.”
When quizzed on what happened during Saturday night’s routine, Katya said: “I have no idea. It was a slip or tripping over my feet.
“I was so in the moment, and then the next thing I knew I was on the floor.
“These things happen in dancing, it’s no big deal.
“You just carry on.”
Fans were left concerned for the 30-year-old star when she tumbled a second time on the staircase as they joined her fellow dancers.
But Katya insists the second fall was on purpose as she made fun of herself on TV.
Katya was praised by viewers for managing to effortlessly “style out” the initial fall during their raunchy routine to It’s Raining Men.
Ever the pro, she quickly spun around on her bottom as she turned the fall into an impromptu extra move.
She later used social media to shut down rumours she had been drinking alcohol before the show.
Katya tweeted: “Guys! I’m totally fine! No idea what happened. So sorry.”
Katya added: “FYI I did it again on purpose in Claudia’s area!
“And I am def not drunk as some people think.”
