Strictly’s Katya and Neil Jones in no rush to start family

Strictly Come Dancing’s Katya Jones and Neil Jones are putting off starting a family whilst they are still enjoying the show.
The BBC One ballroom and Latin show’s professional dancers have been married for six years and together for 10 but their union was rocked last year when the Russian dancer was pictured locking lips with comedian Seann Walsh after a night out drinking in a pub.
However, the couple have "moved on" from the drunken liaison that gripped the nation and are looking forward to the next series later this year.
Asked about making the decision to leave the show to have children, Katya, 30, said that for as long as she is "passionate" about dancing and has age on her side, she will hold off becoming a mum.
She told the Express.co.uk: "I love it so much, I get so passionate about it and I’d love to do it for as long as I can, as long as I have passion for it.
"And I do still have passion and so much more to give.
"And then, on the other side, you’re thinking, I just turned 30 and my body’s not gonna dance forever."
And there is "no pressure" on the couple from their relatives to grow their family just yet.
The brunette beauty continued: "We have so much family around us — I have two nieces, Neil has eight nieces.
"No one’s pressuring us, which is nice.
"At the same time, we’ve got time."
However, Neil says becoming a dad is definitely on the cards when the time is right.
The 37-year-old star said: "At the moment we’re just loving ‘Strictly’. "We’re loving everything we’re doing with it.
"Like Katya said, we’ve got so much family around us.
"We will have a family in the end but at the moment we’re just enjoying what we’re doing."
The couple both agreed that they will block out any gossip about their relationship when the show returns to screens.
He said: "We know those things will always come up."
Whilst Katya added: "The main thing is that we moved on.
"We know it doesn’t matter what’s said, it’s like yeah, it’s fine. It’ll all be fine and we’ll be happy with it."
