Strictly’s Katya and Neil Jones reveal plans to have a baby

It follows a troubled time in their marriage

It’s been a difficult month for Katya and Neil Jones, but things could be about to turn around for the pair, as the Strictly dancers confirm they would “love to have a baby”.

Just weeks after the 29-year-old was caught cheating with her dance partner, Seann Walsh, she has spoken to The Mail on Sunday about her family plans.

Katya, who’s been with husband Neil, 35, for ten years, says: “I would love to have a baby in the near future, definitely. In a perfect world, Neil will hopefully get a partner on Strictly and he can stay on the show.

“Then I can go off and have our baby, and come back again afterwards. I would love to carry on doing my job for as long as I can, but I understand there’s never a right moment for a baby.”

It followed Katya and Seann’s elimination from the show last weekend, where the dancer offered her partner some amusing advice.

The pair became the fifth couple to be sent home last weekend. It followed a dance-off with cricketer Graeme Swann and his partner Oti Mabuse.

Katya wrote: “Thank you so so much to everyone who had our support through out this journey! We’re gutted not to be able to do more fun routines for you! But I hope we entertained!”

Teasing him, she joked: “@seannwalsh please don’t keep dancing stick to what you’re good at!”

She also teased in another tweet: “Bet people can’t wait for your tour, you now have soooo much material for it! 🤣

It seemed to be a nod to the drama surrounding her drunken kiss with Seann, 32.

Katya insisted she and Neil were “absolutely fine” after pictures were published of her and Seann snogging on a night out.

She said: “Obviously I apologise, and I can’t apologise enough to everyone who it hurt and involved. But, the main thing for me is that me and Neil are absolutely fine and that’s what matters to me the most right now.
