Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️’, wrote Fleur East. ‘YOU OWE ME ONE MASSIVE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!’, joked Oti Mabuse, clearly having just found out via the social media post.

While holidaying in Bali in 2022, Neil popped the question, with Chyna reflecting on the proposal a year later, writing alongside snaps of the moment: ‘Still feels like yesterday @mr_njonesofficial woke me up at 5am 🙃 to hike to the top of the rice fields in Bali whilst 12 weeks pregnant 😂💗’ Chyna also told Hello! at the time that it didn’t ‘feel real’. ‘At first, I thought he was joking because we play jokes on each other all the time.’ Their love story has not been without turbulence, though. Neil reportedly did not inform his parents or his sister when he and Chyna were getting hitched, and his family was ‘banned’ from their first ceremony. Neil is estranged from his family following accusations of racism against Chyna (Picture: Matt Crossick/Variety via Getty Images) This was a result of Chyna accusing Neil’s mother of ‘bullying, racism, and disrespect’ since ‘the moment’ she met her, having issued a statement on when she decided ‘enough was enough’. In December 2025, the influencer claimed Helen chose not to attend her granddaughter’s baptism, which she found ‘heartbreaking’. ‘I’ve done everything I could to build relationships, yet nothing was ever reciprocated,’ Chyna penned. ‘But I won’t accept negative comments or false narratives on my baby girl’s special moments.’ Defending her mum, Neil’s sister, Terri, responded, accusing Chyna of lying. She told the Daily Mail that ‘the truth will come out eventually’. Neil has been part of Strictly since 2016 (Picture: BBC/Ray Burmiston/BBC Creative) Speaking after Neil and Chyna tied the knot, a source called it ‘a massive shame’, adding to The Sun that Neil’s ‘close and extended family were all there when he married his first wife, Katya Jones’, in 2013. Neil and fellow Strictly pro Katya, 37, divorced in 2019. ‘It makes it even more painful that they have now been cut out completely,’ added the insider. ‘Most of them have been blocked by Chyna and Neil, so really have no idea what is going on in their lives at all, let alone about their wedding. ‘Everyone feels like Chyna could have shared her concerns in a different way, but instead it’s turned into a public matter, and the whole family have been tarred with the same brush.’ Still, the family is believed to have hoped their wedding ‘went well’. Neil has been part of Strictly since its 14th series in 2016, and his past celebrity partners have been Alex Scott, Nina Wadia, and Toyah Willcox. In recent series, he’s been famously ‘benched’ in what’s become a running joke among viewers, as he’s not been assigned a partner but still appeared in group routines.
