Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones to 'miss out' on celebrity partner as pro 'missing' from line-up
The Strictly Come Dancing celebrity line-up is currently being announced as fans gear up for the 2025 series
Strictly Come Dancing fans fear Neil Jones could miss out on being paired with a celebrity partner this year after show bosses released a video of the professional dancers on Instagram.
Earlier this week, BBC bosses released a promo video of the professional dancers before the announcements for the celebrity line-up began. The latest announcement is YouTuber George Clarke.
They captioned the video: "It's happening! Our #Strictly class of 2025 reveals begin tomorrow, tune-in to BBC One and iPlayer from 7pm!"
However, it didn't take fans long to notice not all of the pros were in the video, leading them to question whether they were being paired with a celebrity this year.
Neil, who has previously missed out on having a celebrity partner, was one of the dancers absent from the clip.
Fans noticed Neil wasn't in the promo video
Carlos Gu was another name missing, as well as Karen Hauer and Katya Jones.
The comments come after Gorka Marquez told fans that he would only appear in the professional dance routines this year due to other work commitments.
"Where is Gorka on the clip, hope he's it in," one fan quizzed, while another answered: "Yeah, he's in the group performances, but he has commitments to a Spanish show, so no celeb partner this year."

Someone else noticed: "Karen, Jowita, and Neil are also missing."
"Where is Katya, Carlos and Neil," another echoed as one worried fan asked: "Where is Carlos and Neil."
One went on: "Don't tell me Neil is missing out on a partner again?"
In the 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing, Neil was partnered with Toyah Willcox.
This marked the first time in three years that Neil had been paired with a celebrity partner. He was previously partnered with Alex Scott in 2019 and Nina Wadia in 2021.

Gorka will not have a celebrity partner this year because he has accepted a judging position on Spain's version of the programme
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday (August 8), the 34-year-old wrote: "I am happy to announce that I will be back for season two of BAILANDO CON LAS ESTRELLAS as a judge from September."

He clarified that owing to the filming timetable, he would not partner with a celebrity on Strictly this year but would take part in group performances and return for the closing weeks to cheer on his fellow professionals and their famous partners.
Strictly Come Dancing will air on BBC One later this year.

Tyson Fury 'terrified' as emergency plane landing cuts post-wedding trip short
Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was left visibly shaken after his family's private jet with wife Paris and their seven children was forced to do an emergency landing Tyson Fury has revealed he was left 'terrified' after the private jet he and his family were flying on was forced to make an emergency landing due to a mechanical issue mid-flight. The retired heavyweight boxing champion, 37, had been travelling with his wife Paris Fury, 35, and their seven children shortly after the couple renewed their wedding vows for a third time in France. The celebratory trip quickly turned into a distressing experience when the aircraft encountered a technical fault shortly after takeoff. It comes after Tyson said he was 'living the dream' as he recreated his first dance with Paris at their third wedding.

Speaking to his followers via Instagram Stories, the legendary boxer recounted the unnerving moment. He explained: "So, we've travelled 100 miles on the plane and the captain's come over to me and said, 'we've got to turn this plane around because there's a problem with one of the wings and it won't fix on the computer so we gotta try and get back and turn around'." Fury, who has been open in the past about his struggles with anxiety and mental health, admitted that the situation deeply unsettled him. "Talk about totally sh***ing yourself. So we're now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying," he added, as he looked visibly shaken while filming from inside the cabin. Video clips posted to social media show members of the Fury family onboard the jet as it turns back toward its departure point. Tyson captioned one of the videos simply writing: 'bad news.' The scary incident occurred shortly after Tyson and his wife celebrated a significant personal milestone. The couple, who first married in 2008, recently renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony held in the South of France. Only their children were present at the event, which took place in a small, scenic church. Paris wore a white bespoke gown by Self-Portrait, while Tyson opted for a more casual look, pairing a cream shirt with white shorts and sandals. The couple shared a series of photos from the day with Fury's 6.7 million Instagram followers. In the post, Tyson gushed: "Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us." The sweet video was set to Bruno Mars' 2011 track "Marry You." The couple's seven children - Venezuela, 15, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, 9, Valencia, 7, Prince Adonis Amaziah, 6, Athena, 4, and Prince Rico, 2, - were all present for the special occasion, marking another family milestone for the Fury family. Tyson, also known as The Gypsy King, announced his retirement from professional boxing in 2022 after an undefeated career. He has since remained in the public eye through reality TV appearances, business ventures, and continued interaction with fans via social media.
