Adam Peaty wasn't just cheered on by his family as he picked up his sixth Olympic medal at the Paris games as his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones was also poolside to support him.
But it's clear Katya has remained close friends with the athlete and made the journey to Paris to watch him take home silver in the men’s 100 metres breaststroke on Sunday evening . Italy’s Nicolo Martinenghi denied Adam getting a hat-trick of gold medals in the event by 0.02 seconds, with the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 champion finishing in a tie for second alongside America's Nic Fink.
Captioning the post, the Strictly star wrote: "He did it. I have so much respect for this guy. Such a wholesome human, which shows in and out of the pool. As he said, in his heart he has won. And he will always be our champion.
