STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are convinced Neil Jones REFUSED to clap for Seann Walsh and wife Katya's Quickstep on last night's show.

The pro-dancer had a face like thunder last week after seeing his spouse dance with the comedian for the first time since pictures of their drunken snog outside a London pub came to light.

This week, viewers were convinced show bosses 'hid' Neil, 35, at the back of the group as Seann and Katya spoke to Claudia Winkleman after they had danced.

But Neil eventually appeared in shot and now an eagle-eyed viewer has spotted the fact he didn't appear to clap the couple as they came up the stairs.

Sharing a screen grab on Twitter, they wrote: "Oops no clapping from Neil Jones #Strictly #awkwardmoment."

While Neil may have already finished clapping by the time Seann and Katya reached the top the stairs, viewers still thought the whole scene was incredibly awkward.

Taking to Twitter, viewers couldn't help but notice, with one writing: "I see Neil has strategically placed himself behind Vick's hair this week...." while another added: "Neil is always in the background".

A third tweeted: "I see Neil Jones is hiding behind Vick's hair this week" while a fourth shared: "Anybody trying to spot Neil".

A fellow viewer felt it was on purpose, tweeting: "Shame, they've hidden Neil this week so we can't judge his 'angry face' #Strictly."

But as the camera panned to another angle, Neil could eventually be seen clearly, and he still didn't look very happy.

He was then seen having a word with the pro dancers next to him, and viewers picked up on that too.

One wrote: "Neil Jones' face tells a story #strictly".

Another added: "Love that the cameramen always manage to get Neil in the shot when Seann and Katya are on screen."
