Strictly Come Dancing professionals Neil and Katya Jones revealed they were splitting up after 11 years together last week, with new claims it was down to the passion fizzling out of their relationship.

According to new reports, the reason the dancers decided to end their relationship was the fact they weren’t intimate with each other any more.

‘Neil was very open about the fact that there was no passion between them — that they didn’t have sex’, a source told The Sun.

They added: ‘He said they spent all their evenings together lounging on the sofa in comfy onesies, watching Disney films…’

The insider also claimed the couple had been arguing more in recent weeks before they decided to call time on their marriage.

They released a statement reading: ‘As our fans and loyal supporters you are really important to us and so we wanted to let you know some news.

‘After 11 years, we have made the mutual decision to separate. We will always love each other, just in a different way as friends.

‘This will never change what a great team we make and we are really proud of everything we have achieved together.

‘Our shared love of dance means we will keep working and dancing together as well as exploring individual projects. No matter what we do we will always support and respect each other.

‘We wish one another every happiness and we will remain the best of friends. We are really looking forward to getting back to the ballroom and can’t wait to keep on dancing.’

Katya was also pictured kissing her former celebrity dance partner Seann Walsh during last year’s show, though the couple had attempted to work through that.

They are both going to be appearing on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, with strong rumours that Neil will be getting partnered with a celebrity this year after appearing only in the group dances in previous years.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Neil and Katya’s reps for comment.
