Strictly Come Dancing's Katya Jones posts hilarious throwback of ex Neil on his birthday

Strictly Come Dancing' s Katya Jones posted hilarious throwbacks of her ex-husband Neil Jones for his birthday.

The professional dancer took to her Instagram to celebrate Neil's 39th birthday with a few "embarrassing" old photos of them.

Her first photo was from present-day and showed Neil smiling for the camera with pals as he held a giant 'Happy Birthday' balloon.

The second photo was of the same gang hanging out on a boat striking poses as Neil put all his focus on jetskiing behind them.

"Happy Birthday @mr_njonesofficial !" Katya captioned her post. "Geez, you're getting old! but still full of life, energy and positivity!

"Keep that smile on your face and keep that hair ginger! Sorry I used to straighten it ( swipe for some embarrassing photos) May it be a great year for you!! Lots of love #strictlycomedancing #birthday #happybirthday"

One of the snaps showed Neil and Katya from years back when her ex had longer hair.

He even had on a long-sleeved white t-shirt and a grey vest to go over it.

One final picture was of Neil, Katya and their pals donning extremely 00s hair and outfits.

Neil wasn't too happy about the throwback photos being shown to the world and joked: "I think these last pics need to be deleted and,for ever."

Katya and Neil had announced their separation in September 2019 - ten months after she was pictured kissing her former dance partner and comedian Seann Walsh.

The couple may be separated but the two seem to be amicable as they still film fun dance videos together for TikTok.

She previously shared a screenshot of her flirty text messages with Neil.

The two had a full conversation mimicking the lyrics of Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak's song Leave The Door Open and it couldn't be cuter.

Last month, Katya opened up about the friendly relationship she has with her ex-husband.

She told Hello! magazine: "It's lovely. We're really the best of friends - if something happens or we want to share exciting news, we always call each other and check on each other."
