Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones has revealed he and his Love Island girlfriend Chyna Mills are taking their romance slowly.
Neil, 40, and and 23-year-old Chyna have been making loved up appearances in public since they were spotted on a romantic trip in Paris in August – weeks after Chyna left the Love Island villa.
The couple appear to be going from strength to strength, with Chyna even tattooing Neil recently. But, Neil has exclusively revealed to the Mirror that he and Chyna are enjoying getting to know one another slowly.
As the smitten pair appeared at Tulleys Shocktober Fest press event, they revealed they aren't rushing into moving in together.
When asked if the pair are planning on living together, Neil said: "We don't know yet, we're having such a nice time together, still getting to know each other – she's putting up with me slowly."
Last month, Chyna was seen tattooing the Strictly Come Dancing professional's leg in a video posted on her Instagram story.

However, Neil has now revealed that his new girlfriend perhaps needs some more practice before inking more people.
Speaking about Chyna's tattooing skills to the Mirror , Neil revealed: "I was in there finishing off one of my tattoos on myself – in the studio I work at – and she was sat there watching me and I said: 'Do you wanna have a go?' And she was like: 'Alright', so I just taught her and showed her how to do it.
"She actually did it the first time and she was like: 'How was that' and it didn't even go in..."

Chyna explained: "I was like 'Are you alright Neil?' and he said: 'You didn't even touch my skin Chyna!'," with a giggle.

Neil was previously married to Strictly pro Katya Jones. But the pair parted ways after 11 years together in 2019.
Announcing their separation, they said: "We will always love each other, just in a different way as friends. This will never change what a great team we make and we are really proud of everything we have achieved together."
