Disappointment for Neil Jones as He is Overlooked Yet Again
Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has reportedly missed out on a celebrity partner for another year on the hit BBC dance programme. Despite being part of the show for seven years, Neil has only been partnered with two celebrities in the past. However, the setback hasn't dampened his spirits as he is expecting his first child with Love Island star fiancée Chyna Mills.
Feeling Like a Winner with Baby News
Despite the disappointment, Neil Jones is said to feel like he's won the lottery due to the impending arrival of his baby girl with Chyna. A source close to the dancer revealed that Neil won't be sweating the missed opportunity too much because he can't wait to welcome his new arrival. The couple is excited about the prospect of Neil being more hands-on with his baby due to his lesser role in this year's series.
Past Dancing Partners and Elimination
In the 2019 season of Strictly Come Dancing, Neil came fifth with footballer Alex Scott as his partner. However, in the following season, he was paired with EastEnders legend Nina Wadia and the couple was the first to be eliminated.
Preparing for Love Island Star Chyna's Labour
Neil has already made plans in case Chyna goes into labor during a live show. He stated that they are prepared for such a situation but would prefer if it happened while he had some time off. Nevertheless, he is excited and buzzing with anticipation for the arrival of their baby.
Ready for the Challenge of Sleepless Nights
As a dancer, Neil Jones is no stranger to sleep deprivation. He expressed readiness for the sleepless nights that come with having a newborn and jokingly mentioned that being used to it as a dancer puts him in good stead.
