The beauty took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a selfie video from the dance studio, in which Adam had just woken up from a ‘Siesta’ in the midst of learning the Quickstep ahead of Saturday’s live show. 

She added a caption reading: ‘The reality. The struggle of the quickstep is real. His face says it all. But it was a good day overall! We just keep on pushing on. GIVE US SOME GOOD VIBES PEOPLE!!! #teampeachy #strictlycomedancing #strictly’. 

Adam said to the camera: ‘I’m struggling. I just had a Siesta. Look at the bags [under my eyes]. It’s been a good day. We’re gonna finish on a high and run through the whole thing’, while Katya uttered words of encouragement alongside.

The pairing also appeared on Lorraine to discuss their training, with Adam divulging: ‘We’ve been rehearsing very hard all week. We’re going into the quickstep, hopefully we’ll get there. She let me go home an hour early, I still did 10 hours’.

Katya meanwhile said: ‘We’ve three days to get the new routine, new style, it’s quite overwhelming. Not gonna lie, he’s been quite tired.’

On the difference between dance and Olympic training, he said: ‘You get five years to prepare, we have a week. You can’t get yourself fall out of the mental zone. You have to turn up everyday no matter how much you’ve got going on in your own life.

Their rehearsal comes amid chaos behind the scenes on the show as it was reported that BBC bosses are refusing to use licence-fee payers’ money to keep the identity of the Strictly Covid jab refuseniks secret.

The professionals have prompted fury among their co-stars by not having the vaccine and two have now instructed top solicitors to stop their names being made public, citing privacy laws.

BBC chiefs last night confirmed that neither the BBC nor BBC Studios, the commercial arm that makes the hit programme, will fund the legal bills. This leaves the pair to settle their own costs, which could run into thousands of pounds. 

A source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It appears that these dancers are out on a limb after all. As employees of the BBC, you might expect some help when it comes to matters like this but this isn’t the case.’
