Neil Jones is "not bothered" about having a partner on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Neil Jones is just happy to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing
The 41-year-old dancer has not been paired with a celebrity for the current series of the BBC Latin and ballroom show but insisted that even though it is "great" when he does get the chance to compete with a star, he is still just happy to be a part of the show in any capacity.
He told OK! Magazine: "I always say that everything happens for a reason. Every year when I get the call from 'Strictly', I say, 'I don't mind whether I have a partner or not, honestly, I'm not bothered at all'. If I do have a partner then, great, I take them aside and ask what they want from this process. And if I don't, also great, I still turn up, cheer everyone on and give them advice. I love the show either way."
The TV star - who has danced with sports presenter Alex Scott and former 'EastEnders' actress during his time on the show - has just welcomed a baby girl with fiance Chyna Mills, 24, and revealed that the former 'Love Island' contestant hadn't even watched the competition when they first met.
He said: "When I was on tour with Strictly last time, Chyna would come and visit all the time. She hangs out with the other dancers and just immediately became part of the family, they all love her," Neil told us.Chyna had never watched 'Strictly' when we met, her family liked it but she wasn't a fan. She will kill me for saying that, but she's definitely coming around now. I'll catch her watching it and sometimes she'll even say if someone danced well, so I know she likes it.
