A Strictly Come Dancing pro has hinted that he may be paired with Love Island‘s Zara McDermott.
The reality star, 26, is already the first Love Island contestant to sign up for Strictly.
Zara will be performing alongside Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon, Les Dennis, and Adam Thomas, with rehearsals already beginning.
However, it has not been disclosed who Zara will be coupled with, while some fans believe she will be paired with Graziano Di Prima.
But, due to Zara’s boyfriend, Sam Thompson, another name has been added to the mix.
The Made in Chelsea actor, who has been dating Zara since 2019, mentioned Neil Jones during a conversation with Strictly Come Dancing veteran Fleur East.
Fleur probed: ‘The first thing I need to ask you is, are you a jealous person?’
‘If you’re off dancing with someone else, as long as I’m playing Fifa, I’m cool,’ Sam replied.
It Takes Two host Fleur went on: ‘Prepare to date a new version of your girlfriend, because honestly, she’s going to transform.
‘One week she’ll be in a waltz vibe, next week she’ll be in a salsa vibe.’
Someone else off camera chimed in: ‘Next week she’ll be in an affair with Neil.’
‘Who’s Neil?!’ Sam brushed off. ‘Who’s Neil??’
Resharing the post, Strictly pro Neil hinted: ‘🤣🤣🤣 don’t worry @samthompsonuk you are definitely safe with me 🤟🏻.’
This comes after Strictly Come Dancing participant Layton Williams said he will be dancing with a same-sex partner.
The Bad Education star tweeted on X, formerly known as Twitter, ‘I’m 100% gonna be partnered up with a man.’
As fans begged to know more, Layton insisted: ‘PS – I don’t know who my partner is lol and even if I did it’s giving We genuinely don’t know until that very moment in screen. Wild right?!x’
He had previously expressed his desire to be in an all-male pairing, saying on The One Show: ‘Honestly, truly, I’m happy so long as it’s a guy. I’ve said I want to dance with a man. I want to be flung around.
‘Basically, at college I was always vey jealous of the girls being thrown around and was like, “I want to be that!”
‘So I can’t wait to get flung around and wear some glittery costumes.’
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One later this year.
