Strictly star congratulated by his ex wife as he announces first baby and engagement to Love Island beauty

Congratulations have been pouring in after Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones announced that he is engaged to Love Island star Chyna Mills. Neil, 40, said "excitement is an understatement" as they revealed that not only are they getting married, the loved-up couple are expecting their first baby.

Model and content creator Chyna, 24, is 13 weeks pregnant and is due to give birth this autumn. Neil told HELLO! magazine that he'd already planned to ask Chyna to marry him before they knew she was pregnant.

Neil, who joined the BBC One dance show in 2016 and performed with his first celebrity sports presenter Alex Scott in 2019, had been secretly planning his proposal while on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour earlier this year. His Strictly co-stars flocked to congratulate the pair including his ex wife Katya Jones.
