Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones family have shared their support for his wife Katya – after she was caught publicly snogging her dance partner Seann Walsh.

Replying to Katyas apology on Twitter, Neils sister Terri wrote: We all love you and thats all that matters xxx.

The tweet was sent just 20 minutes after Katya posted the statement, which she was forced to do after pictures were published showing her in a passionate embrace with Seann.

Neils mother – Katyas mother-in-law – has also been retweeting messages of support.

We all love you and that's all that matters xxx

Neil has yet to make his thoughts on the scandal know, simply choosing in the days that followed to post a naked picture of himself on Instagram.

Because, why not?

The dancer has been supporting his wife and Seann throughout their Strictly journey, writing after their sexy Matrix-inspired paso doble: Wow last nights @bbcstrictly movie week was really epic and Im really proud of @mrs_katjones and @seannwalsh Paso Doble. Great shapes and of course like always the choreography was on point.

Seann and Katya are expected to perform on this Saturdays show, although there have been calls for them to quit or be kicked off.

In the images and video, taken after Katya and Seann had left the Duke Of York pub in Marylebone, they are seen dropping their bags to the floor and wrapping their arms around one another before enjoying a long and steamy snog.

Its a passionate affair, with neither of them caring who might be watching as Katya smiles and dances after the kiss, throwing her head back as Seann draws her into his arms.

Seann, also looking very gleeful, takes photos as she poses in the lit-up passage way.

Rebecca Humphries, who dated Seann for five years, announced their relationship was over in a powerful Twitter statement on Monday, in which she explained her side of events,and claimed she had still not received an apology.

Rebecca Humphries' full statement on Seann Walsh

'My name is Rebecca Humphries and I am not a victim.

'Its incredibly good of Sean(n) and Katya to apologise in the media. I have received nothing, other than the support of my family, friends and a host of strangers on the internet who all wanted to make sure I was OK.

'I was alone at home when Sean texted at 10pm saying the two of them were going for one innocent drink. We spoke and I told him, not for the first time, that his actions over the past three weeks had led me to believe something inappropriate was going on. He aggressively, and repeatedly, called me a psycho / nuts / mental. As he has done countless times throughout our relationship when Ive questioned his inappropriate, hurtful behaviour.

'But this whole business has served to remind me that I am a strong, capable person who is now free; and no victim. I have a voice and will use it by saying this to any woman out there who deep down feels worthless and trapped with a man they love. Believe in yourself and your instincts. Its more than lying. Its controlling.

'Tell some very close friends who, if theyre anything like my wonderful network, will swoop in and take care of the logistics and of you. Its important also to recognise that in these situations those who hold power over you are insecure and fragile, and their need for control comes from a place of vulnerability.

'I think it certainly does in Seans case. Despite everything, I hope he gets what he wants from this. Im not sorry I took the cat though.'
