Strictly's Katya Jones wearing wedding ring at launch - despite splitting from husband Neil

Katya Jones sparked a flurry of new rumours during her appearance at tonight's Strictly Come Dancing launch as she wore her sparkly engagement ring - despite splitting from husband Neil.

This evening, Katya discovered that she was paired up with BBC Breakfast's Mike Bushell while husband Neil was also paired up.

The pair have stayed very friendly since their split, however raised eyebrows with a raunchy routine at the Strictly red carpet this year.

And viewers were even more stunned to see that Katya's hand was still adorned with a large sparkly diamond on her ring finger.

The professional dancers were struck by the show's infamous curse back in August, less than a year after Russian beauty Katya was caught snogging co-star Seann Walsh.

In awkward scenes, Neil was forced to watch his wife dance with the comedian the following week given their joint commitments to the BBC talent contest.

But this time round, the split pair are working closer together than ever before with Neil getting a promotion to the main line-up.

Neil and Katya will now be in direct competition with each other as they both get celebrity dance partners for the very first time.
