Neil and Katya Jones won’t be on the Strictly tour

It comes after Katya kissed Seann Walsh

Strictly Come Dancing pros Neil and Katya Jones won’t be going on the show’s tour next year, following Katya’s cheating scandal with Seann Walsh.

Neil, who has been married to Katya since 2013, announced the news on Instagram – following ongoing gossip that they wouldn’t be asked along.

The 35-year-old captioned a picture of him and Katya, 29, with: “Hi guys so we won’t be joining the @strictlycomedancinglive but we will be joining the new Strictly Pro tour in May.

“And plus on top of that we have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! coming tomorrow, I can’t wait for you all to find out.”

Some fans began speculating that their “BIG” announcement could be a baby.

Neil’s post comes after reports that comedian Seann was axed from the tour following his cheating with former Strictly partner Katya.

They were pictured snogging in the street after rehearsals in October, on his girlfriend Rebecca Humphries’ Birthday.

Rebecca, 31, dumped 33-year-old Seann straight away, but Katya and Neil have remained together.

At the time, both Katya and Seann apologised for the “mistake”.

Katya tweeted at the time: “I’m so sorry about any offence or hurt I may have caused with my actions.

“I wasn’t thinking and it was a one-off mistake after some drinks. I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship.”

Soon after their slip up, both Seann and Katya went on BBC’s It Takes Two to apologise.

Seann said: “I would rather not have to address this publicly but I feel I have to. I made a mistake, which I’m very sorry for, I’m sorry for the hurt that I’ve caused.

However, earlier this week, Seann admitted he thought he had done nothing wrong by kissing Katya.

The 33-year-old said during a stand-up comedy gig: “Look, I don’t really need to explain myself but I will anyway.

“I was coming towards the end of my relationship, I was getting on with this girl. You spend a lot of time with your dance partner on the show and we went for a drink and one thing led to the other. Most of you have seen the result.”

He then added: “I actually started to think to myself, ‘Hang on, have I actually done anything that wrong?'”

The Strictly Come Dancing tour starts in January next year.
