'This is NOT the case' Alex Scott hits back at 'fuming' Strictly Come Dancing partner rumours

Strictly Come Dancing star Alex Scott has denied wanting to continue her partnership with stand-in Kevin Clifton.

Professional dancer Neil Jones, 37, reunited with the former Lioness, 35, after he missed two live shows because of an injury.

A source told The Sun On Sunday that Scott was "fuming" after finding out she would be back with Jones at the last-minute.

She had been "hopeful that she would be allowed some sort of consistency, and have Kevin on the night", the source was quoted as saying.
