Strictly star Neil Jones has teased that fiancee Chyna Mills could make an appearance on the BBC One show.
The dancer has been a part of the dancing series since 2016 – and is a firm-favourite with fans. Over the years, Neil has danced with the likes of Alex Scott and Nina Wadia.
Away from the glitzy dancefloor though, Neil is loved-up with reality star Chyna Mills. The pair got together in 2022, and things soon went from strength to strength.

Taking the next step in their relationship, Neil and Love Island beauty Chyna got engaged in April 2023. And a few months later, they welcomed their first baby Havana. Since then, the couple have kept fans updated on the new chapter in their lives.

And it turns out Neil reckons Chyna would be a good contestant for Strictly – but he’s in no rush to be his baby mama’s pro dancer.
In a new interview, he revealed how he tries to teach her “a few things” but Chyna apparently “doesn’t always want to listen.” He told Express: “She’s like, ‘Let’s move on, let’s go onto the next thing’ and I’m like, ‘No you haven’t got this down yet’.

“I think either, if she ever went on that show and she danced with me, I think it would make brilliant TV because we would just be hilarious. Or, it would be like you’d have to get the right partner because she’s very strong-minded in what she wants to do.”
As for who he thinks would be the ideal partner for Chyna, Neil suggested last year’s winning professional Vito Coppola. Neil said: “He’d be like, ‘Come on Chyna’ because he knows her so well,” the dancer added. “I’d be so proud as well, just watching her grow would be amazing within the show.”

Earlier this year, Neil admitted he wasn’t fazed about being missed out of the 2023 line-up. The professional dancer confessed that not having a celebrity partner meant he was able to witness the birth of his daughter Havana.
In his eight years on the BBC show, Neil has only had two partners; former Arsenal footballer Alex Scott in 2019 and actress Nina Wadia in 2021. He told Mail Online it “doesn’t bother him” when he is missed out of the line-up, explaining he enjoys the show when he gets a chance at Christmas.
