Was 'Strictly' dancer Neil Jones mocking Seann Walsh in 'It Takes Two' skit?

With that curly wig on, Strictly Come Dancing pro-dancer and choreographer Neil Jones reminds us of someone…

Viewers tuning in to Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two last night thought so too, as Jones performed a sketch in which he played 70s dance teacher Nell De Jaunes.

In a brown polo neck and extraordinarily tight plaid trousers, he showed viewers the steps for a basic waltz.

But – mostly thanks to the wig – his similarity to his mop-topped love rival Seann Walsh did not go unnoticed.

Walsh spent weeks in the headlines while competing as a contestant on the show after he was snapped by paparazzi kissing his dance partner Katya, Jones’s wife, after a boozy night out.

The clinch caused Walsh’s then-girlfriend to walk out on him, though Katya and Neil seemed to weather the storm of controversy.

Until now, perhaps.

Seann and Katya both apologised on It Takes Two following the furore in the tabloids, but were canned from the dance show on week five after a lacklustre quickstep.

A source told The Sun: “Everything is fine between [Neil and Katya] now and they have been spending so much more time together after Seann’s departure, which has obviously helped a lot.”
