Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has shared a first glimpse of the professional male dancers ahead of their return to the BBC ballroom this weekend.
The 38-year-old dancer and his co-stars were grinning from ear to ear as they modelled matching outfits for the promotional Strictly shot.
Later that day, Neil whisked his girlfriend Luisa Eusse away on a romantic date night – shrugging off the recent allegations of cheating.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday evening, Neil couldn’t contain his excitement at finally making a return to Strictly – although he will not have a celebrity partner this year.
In the snap, that he shared with his 223,000 Instagram followers, Neil looked cheerful as he stood next to his professional co-stars; Anton Du Beke, Johannes Radebe, Gorka Marquez, Giovanni Pernice, Aljaz Skorjanec and Graziano Di Prima.
“With everything going on the world I just feel blessed to be healthy and back to work with all my friends,” Neil added in the caption.

“I can’t wait for you to see the magic @bbcstrictly has and will continue to create for you this year.
“Oh plus this pic was taken when we were in our bubble to create all the fantastic group numbers,” he concluded.
Shortly after unveiling the group shot, Neil documented a romantic evening date that he enjoyed with his girlfriend Luissa Eussa.
The couple, who only made their relationship Instagram official in August, appeared in high spirits as they headed out for a romantic dinner in London.
“I love good food, but you know what’s better than good food? Great company,” Neil said in his gushing Instagram video.
The couple appeared to shrug off recent allegations of cheating and put on a united front for their evening dinner.
It comes after The Sun reported that Luisa allegedly cheated on Neil with another woman after inviting her to live in his apartment.
The Colombian dancer was originally dating DJ Hannah Wants before reportedly dumping her beau to move in with Neil.
Luisa has since hit back at reports that she had been unfaithful by branding the stories “fake news” and appeared to set fire to a newspaper in a social media clip.
It is the Strictly star’s first girlfriend since splitting from ex wife Katya Jones, after she was caught snogging her celebrity partner, Seann Walsh.
