Strictly star Alex Scott has teased she’s got great chemistry with partner Neil Jones.
The pair have wowed viewers with their sizzling routines on Saturday nights.
Lifting the lid on their bond, ex-footie star Alex, 35, said: “We’re so immersed in Strictly. It’s great that people see how well Neil and I get on, and there’s a great partnership. We’re together all the time.”

Neil, 37, added: “People say we have great chemistry and we work well together. They see how much fun we’re having.
“I got lucky and got a great partner who just wants to learn. It’s all I’ve ever asked for. I’m happy I’ve got a complete beginner, someone who had never danced so I could take them right from the beginning.
“Every Monday she’s learning more and more. I couldn’t be prouder.”

Alex and Neil are so sexy on the dance floor there’s even been speculation they have become a couple.
Strictly is famed for romances happening behind the scenes.
Alex had to be in peak fitness during her years playing football for England but Neil is training her so hard in rehearsals she’s struggling to keep up.
She said: “This week is the first dance where we’ve gone through it and I’m tired. There’s a lot of it where you’re on your knees and jumping up. It takes it out of you.
“But I’ve loved not being in heels. It’s been two weeks now that I haven’t had to wear them. It’s been amazing for my ankles. It’s a blessing!”
Alex added: “I’m super hard on myself. Neil tells me not to over-think things. I’ve wanted to be on this show for so long, I just want to do everything right.”
Neil is newly single after splitting from wife and co-star Katya after more than a decade together. Since then she has been spotted wearing her wedding ring.

But he’s insisted there’s no chance of a reunion.
Neil said: “We’re not together anymore. I didn’t wear my wedding ring when we were dancing. I don’t like jewellery.
“And with Katya, it’s just that she likes her jewellery. We’re really good friends and we’re in a good place.
“Like all the pros, we talk to each other.”
