Neil Jones has responded after being accused of making Amy Dowden uncomfortable during Strictly Come Dancing.
The footage shows Neil standing behind Amy as the dancers and celebrities gather on set. As Amy stands with her hands clasped in front of her, Neil appears to put his hand around her lower waist. Amy then seems to squirm away from his hand, and later appears to avoid standing alongside him.
I see so many fans questioning whether Neil crossed a line. I do think it’s important to be careful when judging a short clip, because we don’t know the full context or what was said between them.
At the same time, I can understand why people have questioned the moment, particularly after watching Amy’s reaction.
Neil has now addressed the accusations himself. Underneath a post discussing the footage, he commented, “Speechless that anyone would even accuse me of this”.
Neil clearly rejects that interpretation, and the footage alone doesn’t tell us what happened between them, so I think for now it may be best to give him the benefit of the doubt, unless Amy decides to say anything.
Before you go, I wanna know, do you think people are reading too much into this clip, or was Neil’s behaviour strange to you?
