Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has said that the Love Island boys lost out on his partner, Chyna Mills, when they had the chance.
Chyna, as fans may recall, appeared on the latest season of the ITV reality show.
In a new Instagram post commemorating the reality star’s birthday, the dancer wrote: “Happy Birthday @chymills_ for the short time I’ve known you I have loved every moment, those LI boys losses are definitely my gain and I can’t wait for the world to see what you can do.”
“I know you are having the greatest day because I organised it 😜😘 love you. #birthday” he added.

Chyna posted her own birthday photo, thanking Jones for organising her birthday celebration, writing: “24. Today has just been such an amazing day! I didn’t think anyone could top the day I was born but @mr_njonesofficial really did.”
“I’ve been so overwhelmed with everyone’s kind messages and birthday wishes & I’m most grateful & thankful ❤️ Love you all,” she added.
Neil Jones recently opened up about his romance with Chyna, saying that they were taking their time with the relationship and going slowly.

When asked by The Mirror if they had any plans to move in together anytime soon, he said: "We don't know yet, we're having such a nice time together, still getting to know each other – she's putting up with me slowly."
He also spoke about a recent tattoo Chyna gave him, saying: "I was in there finishing off one of my tattoos on myself – in the studio I work at – and she was sat there watching me and I said: 'Do you wanna have a go?' And she was like: 'Alright', so I just taught her and showed her how to do it.”
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows also stream on BBC iPlayer.
