Neil and Katya called time on their romance in August 2019.
This came ten months after Katya was caught kissing her Strictly celebrity partner at the time, Seann Walsh.
The couple – who had been together for 11 years and married for six – said in a joint statement that the split was mutual, both vowing to continue as dance partners.
They said: “We wish one another every happiness and we will remain the best of friends.
“We are really looking forward to getting back to the ballroom and can’t wait to keep on dancing.”

Neil has also stuck by Katya, insisting that their divorce was amicable.
He previously told The Sun: “We found that we’d grown apart like people do, so we were like, ‘OK, let’s go our separate ways’. We are lucky that we don’t have kids.
“We were moving in different directions but we are friends again now. Katya is a great girl and I’ve got nothing bad to say about her.”
