Neil Jones and his wife Chyna Mills are expecting their second child together.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 44, and the former Love Island star, 27, shared the news in an Instagram video, captioned with a white heart emoji.

The dancer and the former reality star, who featured on the 2022 series of Love Island, were first linked in August 2022, when they appeared on a red carpet together.

They got engaged the following year during a holiday to Bali and announced they were expecting their first child together at the same time.

Jones was previously married to fellow Strictly professional Katya Jones. Neil and Katya were together for 11 years and married for six before they split in 2019.
