They have since stepped out together at several red carpet events and flaunted their romance in Instagram posts.

Jones was previously married to his Strictly professional co-star Katya, whom he still works alongside on the show for six years before splitting in 2019.

The pair parted 10 months after Katya was pictured kissing her then Strictly partner Seann Walsh on a night out.

In a joint statement, they said: “Hi everyone. As our fans and loyal supporters you are really important to us and so we wanted to let you know some news.

“After 11 years we have made the mutual decision to separate.

“We will always love each other, just in a different way as friends.

“This will never change what a great team we make and we are really proud of everything we have achieved together.”
