Strictly: Neil Jones says he feels 'very lucky' to be part of show

Newly-single Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones, 38, split from 23-year-old dancer Luisa Eussa last month, while the pair were living separately. Today, he has taken to Instagram to share a cryptic post telling fans he was feeling “great” after taking “toxic people” out of his life.

The dancer shared a picture of him standing in the shower with his back to the camera, showcasing his large tattoo.

He wrote: “Taking toxic people out of my life is like having a shower after a long day.

“Feels great you should try it.”

It’s unclear who Neil is referring to specifically, however he split from dancer Luisa last month.

The pair were living separately at the time of their split as he previously admitted they had rushed into things during lockdown.

A representative for Neil said earlier this month: “Neil is happy with his decision and is busy focusing on himself and some exciting work projects.

“He wishes Luisa all the best.”

The model was Neil’s first partner following his split from wife Katya Jones.

The dancer has since been enjoying the company of his two dogs Crumble and Chorizo.

Speaking to Express.co.uk earlier this month, he discussed how he shares his pet pooches with Katya.

He said: “I’ve got Crumble, who’s eight. I’ve had her since a puppy.

“Two or three weeks ago, I adopted another dog, originally when he came to me his name was Tofu, but he doesn’t really recognise his name, so I’ve changed it to Chorizo.

“He still doesn’t know that name, so I keep pushing it at him and we will just see what happens.”

The dancer added his new dog hadn’t quite realised what “walkies” means and only gets excited when he copies Crumble.

Because of this, he said he doesn't want his dogs to be apart.

He added: “With Crumble, if Katya ever wants to see Crumble, that’s no problem whatsoever.

“But I have said to her, if she wants to take Crumble, she has to take Chorizo as well because they’re brother and sister now and I can’t separate them. It’s the way.”

The pair split after 11 years together, five of which they were married, in 2019, but have remained friends.

He added: “We’ve been through so much together and have known each other for years, she’s a good friend of mine.

“We will always be friends no matter what."
