Alex Scott left blushing over Neil Jones' 'beautiful' compliment: 'Stop it you'

Alex Scott, 36, was paid a lovely compliment by her former Strictly Come Dancing partner Neil Jones, after she posted a stunning selfie on Instagram. The adorable tribute left some fans wondering if there was yet another spark budding between the pair, who have been at the centre of romance rumours since their time together on the BBC show in 2019.

The dancing duo previously denied the claims that they were in a romantic relationship, with Neil striking up a romance with now ex-girlfriend Luisa Eusse.

In present day, Alex looked radiant as she posted a flawless selfie on the social media site.

She captioned the picture: “Hair flowing, skin glowing, we keep it going kinda vibe.”(sic)

Neil was among fans who were bowled over by her effortless beauty, and he wanted to let his pal know.

“I send her little messages.”

Alex became the centre of racial abuse when she was rumoured to be taking over from Sue Barker on A Question of Sport last year.

Long-serving host Sue said the BBC wanted to take the show in a “new direction” without her and team captains Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson.

The football pundit was wrongly announced as the new anchor of the show by Gary Lineker on Twitter, however a new line-up is yet to be released.

Addressing the abuse his former dance partner received, he said: “It’s a life thing that when someone is doing well, there’s always going to be people there knocking them down.
