Strictly’s Tasha Ghouri was beaming while out running errands as Katya Jones appeared downcast ahead of their next tour show in Leeds.
Their appearance comes after Wynne Evans, 53, agreed with the BBC to ‘take some time out’ from his radio show and the Strictly tour ‘to prioritise my wellbeing’, following his X-rated remark.
After arriving the previous night, Love Island star Tasha, 26, and dancer Katya, 35, were spotted heading out in Leeds before taking to the dancefloor.
Tasha looked bright and cheery as she waved at fans and signed autographs while sporting a pair of grey low-rise jogging bottoms and a white ruched long-sleeved top.
Meanwhile Katya sported a huge longline padded jacket and shielded her eyes from the winter sun in a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Also spotted out and about ahead of the show was Shane Ward, who enjoyed a disco boogie in the street.

Meanwhile last night, Jamie Borthwick, Jowita Przystal, and Katya Jones were among the tired stars arriving in Leeds late Wednesday night ahead of the latest tour shows on Thursday.
Amid the drama, the cast cut low-key figures as they arrived in the city in the early hours.

It comes after Wynne, famed for playing a portly Italian opera singer in a string of insurance ads for Go Compare, announced his departure from the tour in a grovelling statement following a string of scandals.
The BBC had previously refused to release a statement on whether or not he had been axed from the tour.
But the Welsh star, famed for playing a portly Italian opera singer in a string of insurance ads for Go Compare, has since announced his departure in a grovelling statement.
During his Strictly stint, the Welsh star was accused of ‘groping’ his dance partner Katya, although the pair dismissed it as a joke that had been misunderstood.

During his Strictly stint, the Welsh star was accused of ‘groping’ his dance partner Katya, although the pair dismissed it as a joke that had been misunderstood (Wynne and Katya seen earlier this month)
Then, earlier this month, he was caught on film by The Mail on Sunday making a vile sexual comment about Strictly co-star Janette Manrara
Janette’s spokesperson said the host had been ‘unaware of this comment by Wynne’ which was audible to our reporter filming with a mobile phone 20 yards away.
Following the widespread revulsion caused by the revelations in the Mail story, Wynne was replaced on his morning radio show on Monday by comedian Robin Morgan, who also stood in for Wynne while he appeared on Strictly last year.
A source told MailOnline the break was sparked by the furore surrounding his comment, plus the fact he is still mourning his older brother Huw, combined with the physical toll of being on the road.
‘He’s had repeated warnings about his behaviour and told to rein it in. He’s not been taking it in, in this day and age the BBC have to be seen taking action and safeguard everyone,’ an insider has now told The Sun.
‘He’s had a tough time with the death of his brother and people should give him some slack, he is going to take this time off to do some self reflection.
‘He has a lot of support from a lot of the backstage dancers. It’s been a really sad ending to what has been a really fun tour.’
The following day, the Welsh star was rumoured to have been axed from the Strictly live tour and later confirmed his departure from the tour in a grovelling statement
Then, earlier this month, he was caught on film by The Mail on Sunday making a vile sexual comment about Strictly co-star Janette Manrara.
Wynne was recorded crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette, using the hugely demeaning term ‘spit roast’.
The following day, the Welsh star was rumoured to have been axed from the Strictly live tour.
Later that day, he confirmed his departure from the tour in a grovelling statement, which read: ‘I’ve agreed with the BBC that I’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.
‘I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.
‘Apologies to those I won’t get to see at the remaining performances and I’m grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.’
Professional dancer Katya reposted the message to her Instagram Stories and wrote: ‘Let’s show humanity and consideration’ while adding that she would miss Wynne.
