Fans were delighted to see Neil on the dance floor, especially since he wasn't partnered with a celebrity contestant this year. 

Commenting on the show's official Instagram page, which posted a snippet from the dance, one person wrote: "Love seeing Neil dancing, he should have had a partner this year," while another added: "Great to see @mr_njonesofficial dancing!!"

Neil, 41, first joined the Strictly cast back in 2016 and during his seven years on the show has been partnered with a celebrity twice. He first competed on the programme in series 17, when he was paired with former professional footballer Alex Scott. Then in 2021, he danced with EastEnders actress Nina Wadia. 

Neil has previously shared an insight into what he gets up to when he's not teamed up with a celebrity. 

"I would honestly say to you, I love when I have a partner, and I love when I don’t have a partner," he told RadioTimes.com.

"When you don't have a partner, a lot of people think you just sit at home. But you really don't. On Strictly, they make sure you've got plenty to do. 

"We're doing group numbers and music acts, we help out other pros," he added. 

It's been a very busy few months for the German-born star, who recently welcomed his first child, baby girl Havana, with his fiancée Chyna Mills.

Neil later opened up to us about how fatherhood had been treating him whilst appearing at the Pride of Britain Awards. "Brilliant, just brilliant," said the dancer. "I'm just smiling all the time, I can't stop it."

Neil and Chyna will also be preparing to walk down the aisle following their engagement earlier this year

The Strictly star got down on one knee while on holiday in Bali, a trip he had been secretly planning while on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour earlier this year.

"I'd already planned to ask Chyna to marry me before we knew she was pregnant," Neil told HELLO!. "Then we found out and I was like: 'Oh, this is brilliant, everything is coming together.'"

Chyna added: "At first, I thought he was joking because we play jokes on each other all the time. Then Neil was like: 'Chyna, so is it a 'yes' or 'no'?' because a few minutes had passed and he was still on one knee. I was like: 'Yeah!'"
