Have you ever wondered?

Neil Jones is, without a doubt, one of the best talents on Strictly Come Dancing.

Despite this fact, the dancer has never been paired up with a celebrity.

Have you ever wondered why? Well, Neil just gave his fans the reason.

Well… sort of!

Neil Jones did a Q&A on his Instagram stories, and one of his fans asked why he never gets a celebrity partner.

He responded with his typical good humour:

“I think it could be because I would win every year and that wouldn’t be fair,” followed by some laughing crying emojis.

Dead right Neil.

Neil also used the opportunity to let fans know that her and his wife Katya, who is also a pro-dancer on the show, will not take part in the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour next year.

However, he did say that the couple had some exciting news to share… and they were right!


The dancing couple will be going on their own tour! How EXCITING.

“And here is the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!” We are really excited to announce that we will be performing our show SOMNIUM: A Dancer’s Dream at Sadler’s Wells in June 2019.”

“We all know that life and love is not perfect and as much we would like to say our journey together has been, you will be able to see first hand the real struggles of our life together on the road to becoming World Champions.”

Exciting times for the pair.
