Neil Jones: Newly-single Neil pictured leaving Alex Scott's home after Strictly training

Neil Jones, 37, and Alex Scott, 34, were pictured leaving the latter’s West London pad together. The pair were seen giggling and appeared to be in an animated conversation as they walked out of her house. Neil looked casual as he sported an orange T-shirt which he teamed with a black cardigan. His casual attire was completed with a pair of black trousers and he was holding a beverage.

The Strictly Come Dancing duo appeared in high spirits.

Alex rocked a black ensemble which she teamed with a short denim jacket as the pair made their way to their awaiting car.

The former professional footballer wore her dark tresses pulled up into a tight bun.

She accessorised her hairstyle with a red satin headband.

The Strictly Come Dancing contestant looked fresh-faced as she wore minimal make up.

The dancing duo are set to dance together on the new series of the BBC show which will see 13 pairings battle it out to lift the Glitterball trophy.

It will be Neil’s first appearance with a celebrity dance partner after being a professional dancer on the show since 2016.

The World Amateur Latin dance champion recently separated from his wife Katya Jones, 30, after five years of marriage.

The couple issued a lengthy statement via their respective Instagram accounts where they revealed it was a “mutual decision” to part ways.

Both Neil and Katya said they remained friends and “will always love each other”.

The dancers added: “This will never change what a great team we make and we are really proud of everything we have achieved together.”

It is not currently known as to whether Alex is single or not.

Meanwhile, Neil and Alex were announced as a new pairing on the Strictly Come Dancing launch show last weekend.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement about the new dancing duo.

One person said: “I’m really pleased Alex got Neil. This will be one fantastic partnership.”

Another person commented: “Fabulous, I love this coupling.”

While another person added: “Well I know where all my votes are going already.”

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One on September 21.
