The pair were snapped together on holidays in Paris.

Fans are convinced that Love Island’s Chyna Mills is dating Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones.

The pair were spotted together holding hands and looking cosy during a recent trip to Paris, though neither of them have confirmed or denied their relationship just yet.

A source close to Neil has told The Sun that the pair are in a “new relationship” and that Neil wanted to do something nice for Chyna before his intense Strictly Come Dancing schedule begins.

The insider said: “Neil and Chyna looked very loved up and completely relaxed in one another’s company.

“It’s a new relationship and Neil probably wanted to do something special as they won’t be able to spend as much time together when the Strictly training sessions start.”

They added: “Paris is the perfect city for a romantic weekend and they both looked delighted to be there.”

This isn’t the first time that they’ve been papped together in public. The pair were spotted leaving the Reality TV Awards after-party together,

Chyna appeared on this season of Love Island during Casa Amor week where she coupled up with Jay. However, they soon decided they were better off as friends, and they both were subsequently dumped from the island on Day 35.

Neil, meanwhile, has been a professional dancer and choreographer on BBC’s hugely popular Strictly Come Dancing since 2016. In the 17th series of the show, he danced with professional footballer Alex Scott and in the 19th series, he was paired up with Nina Wadia.

In 2013, Neil married his fellow dancer Katya Jones. However, the pair divorced six years later. In the year before their separation, there was speculation that Katya and her celebrity partner Seann Walsh were romantically involved. In the end, both Seann and Katya ended up issuing a public apology.

The next season of Strictly Come Dancing launches on 7 September.
