Katya and Neil Jones announce new dance show after being axed from Strictly Come Dancing’s official tour
NEIL and Katya Jones have announced their new dance show after being axed from Strictly Come Dancing's official tour.
Neil, 35, revealed that he and his wife had been snubbed - a week after it was confirmed that comic Seann Walsh had also been banned from the live tour following his and 29-year-old Katya's cheat scandal in October.
Taking to Instagram earlier today, Neil shared a poster for their new production Somnium: A Dancer's Dream.
Captioning the image, which sees him embracing the Russian beauty, Neil told his followers: "And here is the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
"Myself and @mrskatjones are excited to announce that #SOMNIUM: A Dancer's Dream, the explosive dance show, is coming to @Sadlers_Wells London 20-22 June 2019.
"Tickets are on sale now so follow the link in my bio to book your seat.
"P.S. It will make a fantastic Christmas gift.";
The show has been choreographed by Neil and tells the familiar-sounding story of "a boy from Britain and a girl from Russia who met, fell in love and overcame the odds to become dance stars."
It will combine Latin and ballroom choreography, with the press release seemingly referencing the cheat scandal as it teases that the "path of love doesn't always run smoothly".
In an official statement, Neil and Katya admitted that "love is not perfect", sharing: "We all know that life and love is not perfect and as much we would like to say our journey together has been, you will be able to see first hand the real struggles of our life together on the road to becoming World Champions."

Katya and Neil's relationship came under scrutiny following Katya's shock snog with her celebrity Strictly partner at the start of this year's series of the show.
Following their sexy snog, Katya and Seann issued a grovelling apology before continuing like normal on the show.
They were eventually kicked off three weeks later - after insiders told The Sun Online that the atmosphere backstage had turned toxic.
However, Katya continually insisted that her marriage to Neil was not affected by the kiss and even admitted that she wanted to start a family with him.
Neil hasn't publicly commented on the scandal, although he did confess that he has had to "deal with a lot of s***" in a poignant Instagram post last month.
