Think I have seen more of him this series than any other dancer even though he wasn't in the competition.

He's called Neil Jones and he is Katya's husband

Constantly gets in camera during Claudia's interviews, at one time on Saturday he could be seen rushing about at the back of the group until he was in shot.

He reminds me of a ginger Alan Partridge.

One of the few things I like about Kevin, always standing quietly at the back.
I think Gorka is worse than Neil.

Considering Neil didn't get a celeb this year I don't blame him for keeping busy. He's done a lot for strictly in the last few years so he definitely deserves a proper go next year!

I really wish people would have the courtesy to learn or at least look up the names of the pro dancers if they're going to bother making threads about them.

It's just basic politeness!

Isn't there one of the Floor Managers (or whatever they call them) who looks slightly similar?

He comes over very well (if a little, er, "confident"), but my impression is that he's the weakest of the male dancers.

Not particularly impressed by Chloe either.

Are they both there because of their partners (professional and marital)?

He and Katya are 23rd in World Latin Rankings, so he should be equally as proficient as his wife.

No idea on Chloe, she's probably the same level as AJ - but as I understand, both are a little inexperienced, given that they were recently competing in an amateur competition (Someone more knowledgable, correct me if I'm wrong!)

Not sure that necessarily follows - though my observation was based on how I felt he performed in pro group dances (against people like Aljaz, it has to be said!).

Maybe Katya "carried" him?

Neil Jones is actually probably one of the strongest Latin dancers in the UK; until this year he and Katya were British Champions. The only reason they lost that title was because they couldn't compete in the British Championships because of doing Strictly. They are also among the top in the World so hardly the weakest of the male dancers! They are, as has been pointed out, 23rd in the World rankings, but that isn't always a fair indication, as it depends on how many competitions they have taken part in. They have certainly made top 12 and top 6 in some of the worldclass competitions they have been in.

Chloe and AJ were only amateurs when they joined Strictly, so although excellent amateur dancers, they have never been tested against the professionals, and maybe that is why I have found some of their dancing looking slightly immature at times, compared to the other pros.

Even at 23rd, it's nothing to scoff at!

P.s. - Vintage, this isn't a comment on your post, but rather clarifying my own.

Greg is hot.

Neil is not.

Honestly, we've had at least ten different threads this series commenting about how Neil and Chloe have been featured so often, yet people need to ask who they are. Surely they've been talked about enough on the show and ITT for people to know them?

Even if they hadn't been, it's not hard to go on the Strictly website or Wikipedia to find out! The number of lazy threads about Neil and Chloe is starting to get slightly irritating...

I think it very likely that both Neil and Chloe will get celeb partners next year, given how active the pair of them have been on It Takes Two. Joanne was in a similar situation last year.

It's as irritating as those people who refuse to spell the names of the various participants in the show correctly - be they celebs, pro dancers, judges or presenters.

I don't mind if people engage in a little clever wordplay from time to time but gratuitously and repeatedly spelling someone's name wrongly is just plain rude.

He is bloody annoying, hogs the camera at every opportunity. Not keen on him at all.

Not a couple romantically, but AJ & Chloe have danced together for a while now as an amateur partnership, and turned professional together specifically to do Strictly. I would assume they have ambitions to compete professionally together at least in the near future...
