Neil Jones Bans Family from Wedding Amid Controversy

Strictly pro has reportedly banned his family from attending his wedding to ex Love Islander later this month amid the ongoing family feud with his mother.

Chyna, 27, who rose to fame on the  dating show in 2022, accused Neil's mother of 'bullying, racism, and disrespect' last year.

She alleged at the time that the professional dancer's family 'ruined' their daughter Havana's baptism by choosing not to attend which was the 'final straw' in the bitter family feud that had been 'brewing for years'. 

And now a new report claims Neil, 44, has banned his family from attending their big day in  later this month.

It is thought that Neil has not even told his mum, Helen, or sister, Terri, when or where the ceremony is taking place.

A source told The Sun: 'The whole thing is a massive shame. His close and extended family were all there when he married his first wife and felt that was an incredibly special day.

'It makes it even more painful that they have now been cut out completely. Most of them have been blocked by Chyna and Neil, so really have no idea what is going on in their lives at all, let alone about their wedding.

'Everyone feels like Chyna could have shared her concerns in a different way, but instead it's turned into a public matter and the whole family have been tarred with the same brush.'

The insider added to the publication that the family 'don't want it to seem like there is bad blood' as it is 'their big day' and 'hope it goes really well'.

The Daily Mail has contacted both Chyna and Neil's representatives for comment. 

Sharing black-and-white photographs on Instagram last December, which showed the couple smiling and hugging their two-year-old daughter during her baptism, Chyna spoke out about the family feud she claims has been ongoing behind the scenes.

In a strongly worded post, she wrote: 'I've faced bullying, racism, and constant disrespect from a so-called MIL since the moment I met her. This year, I decided enough was enough and gave her the chance to discuss whatever one-sided issue she had of course, I was ignored.'

She added: 'Havana's baptism was a special day, and his family chose not to attend out of loyalty to her and refused to acknowledge what's unfolded over the past few years. That's on them. But I won't accept negative comments or false narratives about my baby girl's special moments.'

Soon after Neil's sister Terri spoke out in defence of their mother - accusing Chyna of lying about the situation.

She told the Daily Mail: 'I don't want to comment at this time. If she wants to spin lies, then look, the truth will come out eventually.'

A source previously said of the brewing family tension: 'This goes back much further than the baptism. Despite Neil's efforts over time to understand and address any issues, he and Chyna still don't know why some family members seem to have taken a dislike to Chyna.
