Agreed - if producers didn't like Katya, she'd have been axed after Seann gate. I'd say she's someone who they trust with some of the higher profile celeb partners. Also think that having had two successes right out of the gate probably has led to a few celebs requesting her over the years, no concrete proof but just a hunch.Genuine question - why do people think Katya was/is for the chop? To me, it seems like the producers love her (first same sex pairing, got one of the bigger names last year) and she rarely does a boring routine
Of course she might decide to leave at some point, but I just don't think she's a likely candidate to be dropped at the moment
Probably wise to keep her around for a few more series with Oti no longer being there.
