Katya and Neil Jones have been axed from upcoming Strictly UK tour

Katya and Neil Jones been been axed from the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ UK tour after her kiss with Seann Walsh.
Show bosses – who barred Seann from appearing on the upcoming live tour following his and Katya’s cheating scandal – have now also cut the 29-year-old pro and her 35-year-old husband after being criticised for "double standards" by previously only banning the comedian.
An insider told The Sun: "The ‘Strictly’ tour is a really wholesome, family-fun event. It’s all about good, clean fun and we don’t think a man who snogs married women in the street fits that image."
The professional dancers have been snubbed after Katya’s drunken kiss – which was captured outside a London pub – with her celebrity partner overshadowed the sixteenth series of the long-running show, which comes to an end next weekend (15.12.18).
The brunette beauty, who has been married to her husband for five years, and the ‘Bad Move’ actor – who was at the time involved with in 5 year relationship with Rebecca Humphries – were both heavily criticised for the incident.
When the first line-up of the tour revealed that only Seann had been initially axed, some fans took to Twitter and questioned why Katya was still set to appear.
One tweeted: "@bbcstrictly why has seann been banned from the tour, yet katya hasn’t? #takestwo2tango #doublestandards."
While another added: "I’m not a fan of Seann Walsh but why has he been dropped from the Strictly tour but Katya Jones hasnt? seems a tad unfair to me (sic)."
Now neither party will appear in the UK wide tour as bosses don’t want their family friendly show to be associated with cheating.
Starting in Birmingham from January 18, 2019, the forthcoming tour will take in shows across Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow and Nottingham before coming to an end with two shows in London between the 7th and 8th of February.
