Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones denies new relationship and says he is 'happily single'

Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has denied he is in a new relationship and says he is “happily single”.

The professional dancer was recently linked with a string of women, including former Miss Romania Sienna Hollen.

Reports claimed that after a “whirlwind” two-month romance he was ready to move in with 24-year-old Sienna.

Just weeks later, the 39-year-old redhead was said to have began dating model Becky Lou Fowler.

But reps for Neil told The Mirror there is no truth in the dating claims – and he is focusing on his career at the moment.

The rep said: “Contrary to recent inaccurate source based reports, Neil remains single.

“He’s not been in a relationship, nor on a ‘string of dates’ with anyone of late. He is very much happily single and focused on Strictly The Professionals Tour.”

Neil hasn't dated anyone seriously since splitting with his Russian dancer wife Katya Jones, 32, in 2019.

Their relationship hit the rocks after Katya was pictured kissing Strictly partner Seann Walsh outside a London pub.

Seann was also in a relationship at the time and got dumped by his girlfriend following the cheating scandal.

Announcing their split in a joint statement, Neil and Katya said: “After 11 years, we have made the mutual decision to separate."

It continued: “We will always love each other, just in a different way as friends. This will never change what a great team we make and we are really proud of everything we have achieved together.

"Our shared love of dance means we will keep working and dancing together as well as exploring individual projects. No matter what we do we will always support and respect each other.

"We wish one another every happiness and we will remain the best of friends. We are really looking forward to getting back to the ballroom and can't wait to keep on dancing. Lots of love from us both."

Despite their split, the pair remain friendly – recently exchanging public messages on social media.

Neil told The Express it would always be that way between them, adding: “We've been through so much together and have known each other for years, she's a good friend of mine. We will always be friends no matter what."
