Strictly star Neil Jones revealed what was said backstage before Kevin Clifton replaced him for a second time on Saturday night's show
Kevin Clifton stepped in for Neil Jones for the second time on Saturday night November 03, 2019 - 15:29 GMT Hanna Fillingham Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones was forced to miss a second week dancing in the competition on Saturday night due to his injury. And once again, his good friend and fellow professional dancer Kevin Clifton stepped in for him so that Alex Scott would still have a chance to dance in the show.
Neil's words had a great impact on Kevin and Alex, who impressed the judges, even notoriously hard-to-please Craig Revel Horwood. "This accidental partnership is working wonders," he told them. The pair received a total score of 31 points from the panel, and Kevin was quick to praise Alex on her dancing, as well as Neil for choreographing the routine. On Twitter, he wrote: "What a great performance from @alexcott2 last night. Very proud! Improving so much.
Ahead of Saturday's dance, Neil had urged his fans not to focus on which pro was dancing with Alex, following the debate from viewers who thought that Gorka Marquez should have been given the chance to dance, since he wasn't given a partner this year. Neil wrote in a statement on Instagram: "Thank you for all your supportive messages… Sorry I can't answer you all.
