Neil Jones confirms new relationship with Colombian model

Neil Jones has confirmed his romance with new girlfriend Luisa Eusse.

The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star has gone Instagram official with the Colombian dancer and model, with the pair both sharing a number of posts on social media.

Alongside a snap of them cuddled up in the kitchen, Neil posted an orange heart emoji, and she shared a photo of them holding hands in front of a body of water, and wrote: "Just you"

According to The Sun newspaper, the couple met in South America eight months ago and while they’re "taking it slowly", they are "serious" about the blossoming relationship.

A source said: "Neil is smitten with Luisa and they’re a very sweet couple. After they were introduced they stayed in touch but it’s been hard with the lockdown restrictions.

"Since they lifted Luisa flew to London last month and has been staying at Neil’s flat.

"They’re taking it slowly but both are serious about this relationship and it’s clear Neil is head-over-heels."

Their public confirmation comes a few days after the 38-year-old star revealed he was no longer single in an Instagram Q&A.

Just over a year ago, Neil and his ex Katya Jones confirmed they had split after six years of marriage.

The high-profile duo announced their separation after she was seen kissing her ‘Strictly’ celebrity partner Seann Walsh during a night out in 2018.

But Neil has insisted their decision to split was not linked to Katya locking lips with the comedian.

He previously said: "We found that we’d grown apart like people do, so we were like, ‘OK, let’s go our separate ways’. We are lucky that we don’t have kids.

"It had nothing to do with what happened [with Seann].

"We were moving in different directions but we are friends again now. Katya is a great girl and I’ve got nothing bad to say about her."
