Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has shared heartbreaking news with his followers this week.<\/p>\n
\u200c The 43-year-old professional dancer revealed on\u00a0Instagram\u00a0that his father died, with a post he shared with fans on Thursday, November 13. Neil, who is in a relationship with\u00a0Love Island\u00a0star Chyna Mills, 26, posted a series of black-and-white photos of his dad as fans and fellow Strictly stars flooded the comments with messages of support.<\/p>\n \u200c He wrote: \u201cYesterday I said goodbye to my Dad for the final time, I thought I knew my dad but yesterday I realised I didn\u2019t after hearing so many lovely & funny stories from family and his closest friends, I know he would be smiling looking down with a pint in his hand. Thank you Wendy and everyone for making it such a special day. RIP DAD.\u201d His Strictly co-stars were quick to offer their condolences. Karen Hauer said: \u201cSending all our love Neil.\u201d Diane Buswell expressed: “Jonsey sending you so much love.”<\/p>\n Article continues below<\/p>\n AJ Pritchard wrote: \u201cSending love.\u201d James Jordan added: \u201cMate. I\u2019m so so sorry for your loss – sending love.\u201d<\/p>\n Nancy Xu commented: \u201cSending you lots of love.\u201d Judge Motsi Mabuse also wrote: \u201cSo Sorry Neil.\u201d<\/p>\n \u200c We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and improve our understanding of you.

Sending you love and healing prayers.\u201d A seconf fan said: “So sorry for your loss.” A third wrote: “So sorry to read this Neil! I hope you\u2019re ok xxx.”<\/p>\n Neil has long been a part of\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing\u00a0after joining the beloved dance series in 2016. However, over the years, he hasn\u2019t always been assigned a celebrity partner – including in the latest series.<\/p>\n Article continues below<\/p>\n Last weekend\u2019s show saw the competition heating up once again. Former\u00a0Geordie Shore\u00a0star Vicky Pattison and her partner Kai Widdrington delivered the performance of the night with a fierce tango to The Fate of Ophelia by\u00a0Taylor Swift, earning them the top spot on the leaderboard. Close behind were Love Island\u2019s\u00a0Amber Davies\u00a0and her partner\u00a0Nikita Kuzmin.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and his partner Karen Hauer found themselves in the dance-off. They were pitted against La Voix and Alja\u017e \u0160korjanec, but the judges unanimously voted to save La Voix, making Harry the sixth celebrity eliminated from the series.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, fans have recently been delighted as it was announced on Thursday that four former contestants are set to returnto the dance floor for Blackpool week,\u00a0Layton Williams, Ashley Roberts, Jay McGuiness, and Danny Mac.<\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0Todd Chrisley<\/strong>\u00a0received a pardon from the President. However,\u00a0Patricia Altschul<\/strong>\u00a0is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a \u201cfelon\u201d like Todd.<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has shared heartbreaking news with his followers this week. \u200c The 43-year-old professional dancer revealed on\u00a0Instagram\u00a0that his father died, with a post he shared with fans…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
