Neil Jones, 35, and Katy Jones, 29, performed together for a captivated crowd at an event for The Caron Keating Foundation last night, showcasing their breathtaking dance moves to the soundtrack of People Help The People by Birdy. The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, could be seen getting romantic on the dance floor as the guests enjoyed the routine from their tables. The Strictly Come Dancing couple looked loved-up during the performance, which Katya shared clips of with her 132,000 Instagram followers on her story. Their appearance comes after Neil spoke out about their relationship in a revealing interview earlier this week.
The star, who is a member of the professional line-up on Strictly but has never yet been paired with a celebrity partner, told the Daily Mail he and Katya would like to renew their vows.
Just months after she was pictured kissing Seann Walsh, 33, on a night out in London, he insisted the couple don’t pay any attention to reports about their marriage in the media.
“We’re happy and that’s all that matters,” he said.
Although Neil explained how he and Katya are considering renewing their vows, he said he thinks it’s “a little bit too soon”, them having wed just five years ago.
The dancer also opened up on their plans to start a family, saying he wants three children, having come from a large family himself.
“It’s going to happen,” he told the publication.”Maybe not yet but in a couple of years.”
Neil admitted that having a baby would be more difficult for his wife, due to her “physical” job, but said they are both “looking forward to that stage” in their lives.
“I think Katya will be a great mum,” he gushed.
The candid interview followed Katya’s controversial smooch with her Strictly partner Seann last year, which was caught on camera.
Both parties subsequently apologised, with the comedian calling the incident a “one-off drunken mistake”.
During an appearance on Strictly’s sister show It Takes Two, Katya said she and Neil were “fine” after her kiss with Seann.
“I can’t apologise enough to everyone who it hurt and involved,” she said. “But the main thing, me and Neil are absolutely fine and that’s what matters to me the most right now.”
“We had a couple of drinks and made a huge mistake and I regret it deeply,” Seann added.
The funny man had been in a relationship with British actress Rebecca Humphries for five years at the time.
She later confirmed they had split, saying his kiss with Katya had occurred on her birthday while she was at home.
Earlier this month, Seann was spotted locking lips with 24-year-old US comedienne Madison Sinclair in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, before they stopped off at a supermarket to purchase a box of condoms and a single pineapple.
