Katya and Neil announced their split in a joint statement on their social media pages, which read: “Hi everyone, as our fans and loyal supporters you are really important to us and so we wanted to let you know some news. After 11 years, we have made the mutual decision to separate.”
It was believed that their breakup was caused by Katya kissing Seann Walsh while she was in a relationship with Neil, however, a spokesperson said: “Many people make such a decision to separate when they realise that their relationship has become more of a friendship. They remain the very best of friends and will continue to dance together.”
