Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones delighted fans with the news he's in a new relationship.
It comes months after the professional dancer seemingly addressed rumours about his sexuality, 18 months after Seann Walsh hit him with the cruel jibe: "I’m the guy who kissed a gay man’s wife.”
Having put the speculation he was gay to bed, the redhead has said he's no longer on the single market.
Neil dropped the bombshell he was in the throes of a new romance when he was participating in a Q&A with fans on Instagram.
Among the crowd, one asked: "Are you still single?"
He responded: "Nope."
However, he did not elaborate on any more details of his budding romance.
It was no secret Neil was on the lookout for love again as he was seen on dating apps including Hinge in January.
His marriage to Katya broke down in August last year, just 10 months after she was seen in a boozy clinch with her Strictly celeb partner Seann.
This year Neil addressed his sexuality as he insisted there have always been "a lot of straight guys" in ballroom.
Neil said: “In ballroom there’s a lot of straight guys.
“But mum was always like, ‘It’s a shame you’re not gay because we could go shopping together’.
“And I was thinking, ‘whether I’m gay or not there’s no chance, you take forever’.”
Neil and Katya's romance wasn't meant to last after the cheating scandal sent shockwaves through the Strictly circuit.
At the time of the split, Neil and Katya released a statement: "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.
"We wish one another every happiness and we will remain the best of friends.
