BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones 'devastated' as he's stunned by news while on live tour

Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has admitted to being left 'devastated' by news while touring the country with his co-stars. The dancer is currently among the BBC One show's pro dancers entertaining audiences up and down the country as the dance contest hit the road.

Neil and a number of his dancing co-stars have been joined by finalists Ellie Leach, Bobby Brazier and Layton Williams as well as their fellow 2023 series alum Angela Scanlon, Annable Croft, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Angela Rippon on the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour this year.

And while it appears everything is going well on the road - with Janette Manrara hosting the show and joining her fellow dancers on the tour bus while judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood also follow them around the country - it was news about his beloved football team that left Neil devastated.
