Strictly Come Dancing may be one of the most high-brow shows on TV, but even that can't escape a little drama from time to time. This year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, which ended last weekend with Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton taking home the Glitterball Trophy, has been one of the most dramatic in the show's history, thanks to the various romantic entanglements.

Of course, if you've been following the show - or even if you haven't - you'll probably be aware of the fact that professional dancer Katya Jones and her partner, comedian Seann Walsh, fell under scrutiny after passionately kissing in the street after one of the shows in October.

Seann's now ex-girlfriend, actress Rebecca Humphries, immediately (and very publicly) dumped Seann, saying that this was the final straw of many issues they'd been having - but Neil and Katya appeared to stay strong.

Although in Katya's apology statement she said that it had not affected her marriage to Neil, who also works on Strictly as a choreographer, various eye witnesses have reported that things between the couple have been strained on different occasions.

However, Neil has now spoken out about the situation during a Q&A on his Instagram Story last night. When one fan boldly asked, 'Are you back with Katya?', Neil responded with an adorable picture of the pair and the answer, 'I've never been away from Katya.'

This comes after a source revealed that Neil came to blows with Seann backstage at the Strictly final last weekend. According to OK! online, they said that Neil made "angry comments backstage" and had "complained about Seann" to the other professional dancers.

They added, "He had kept a dignified silence until now but he has also had words with Katya to tell her that once this final commitment is over he doesn’t want her to see or talk to him again. He’s finally laid down the law and made his feelings crystal clear."
