Strictly’s Katya and Neil Jones kiss in a VERY fake united front moments after tense row
NEIL and Katya Jones looked tense just moments before they laughed and smooched for the cameras outside of a charity bash last night.
The couple - who are struggling to get past the Seann Walsh kissing scandal - appeared strained while standing in the lobby of London's The Dorchester hotel during Macmillan's annual charity do.
Neil could be seen holding his hands up in an exasperated fashion while Katya seemed to glare at him before walking away.
But the couple painted a different picture just minutes later as they showered one another with kisses and beamed from ear to ear while departing the event.
Last week it was claimed the couple are avoiding each other backstage at Strictly as they come to terms with the cheating incident.
And despite their best efforts to quash speculation their marriage is in trouble, they seemed to struggle to put the friction behind them for one night at the glitzy bash.
Katya looked stunning in a classy red, clingy dress with scooped neck and matching scarlet make-up.
She finished her look with a gold belt, YSL bag and towering black heels.
She also wore a fur coat over her shoulders as she braved the London cold.
Neil looked dapper in a tux and dicky bow.
On the way out of the event, the dancers cavorted for the cameras, sharing a kiss and even laughed in the back of a car as they arrived at the shin-dig.
It came a week after rumours Neil and Katya were spotted behaving awkwardly around each other.
A rep for the show denied the claims.
Neil and Katya's romance fell victim to the infamous Strictly Curse last month, when Katya was spotted passionately kissing her celebrity partner, Seann Walsh, after a drunken night out.
Following their sexy snog, Katya and Seann issued a grovelling apology before continuing like normal on the show.

They were eventually kicked off three weeks later - after insiders told The Sun Online that the atmosphere backstage had turned toxic.
However, Katya has continually insisted that her marriage to Neil was not affected by the kiss and admitted last month that she wanted to start a family with him.
Neil hasn't publicly commented on the scandal, although he did confess that he has had to "deal with a lot of s***" in a poignant Instagram post earlier this month.
