Neil Jones will remain on the sidelines for Strictly Come Dancing’s 2026 series after missing out on a celebrity partner yet again
Since joining the BBC show in 2016, he has been paired with a contestant just three times, most recently Toyah Willcox in 2024
During Saturday’s launch, Neil turned the disappointment into a playful bin-and-pen challenge, but the attempt failed
Kai Widdrington caught the pen off camera, leaving Neil without a partner despite his 45 titles and two Guinness World Records.
