Strictly’s Neil Jones’ new girlfriend Luisa Eusse was dating DJ Hannah Wants 3 weeks ago – before leaving her for star

THE new girlfriend of Strictly’s Neil Jones dumped her superstar DJ lover for him just three weeks ago.

Tattooed Colombian dancer Luisa Eusse and Brit Hannah Wants were even said to have been planning to get married.

The Sun told yesterday how Neil, 38, was dating Luisa, 23, after meeting her during a visit to South America eight months ago.

And they were today snapped holding hands near Neil’s flat.

The pair are said to have reconnected last month while Luisa was on a break in London with Hannah, 34.

A friend said Hannah, a popular DJ and music producer, had been left devastated by the split.

The pal said today: “Hannah paid for Luisa to come over and stay with her. They were very loved up and planned to get married.

“Hannah has been left completely heartbroken by all of this. They were in London sightseeing just last month.

“They went to stay with Hannah’s parents — they were a proper couple.”

Another insider said: “Neil and Luisa met last year through work, but met back up these past few weeks when Hannah and Luisa were in London for Hannah’s work.

“When Hannah was in meetings, Luisa met up with Neil.”

Birmingham-born Hannah played football for Aston Villa and England. She retired aged 23 and took up a career in the music industry.

She is thought to have met Luisa while working in Ibiza last year.

Much of their romance has been widely documented on Hannah’s social media sites.

On June 20, she shared a gushing tribute to Luisa for organising a birthday party for her.

A photo shows the pair cuddling on a sofa surrounded by balloons.

Luisa also spent 50 hours painting a canvas of Hannah DJ-ing and organised a surprise visit from her mum.

Hannah posted on Instagram: “This is an appreciation post for this lil peng ting right here. I f***ing love and appreciate you long time.

“I’m not even exaggerating when I say she spent weeks preparing the cutest birthday.

“I’ve been fumin at times because I’ve barely seen her and she’s worked through multiple nights to get the painting finished in time.

“I’m talking like well over 50 hours of work, love, sweat and tears went into it. It’s the most beautiful thing.

“You one talented Colombian mofo ain’t you!”

She added a message in Luisa’s native Spanish saying: “Thank you for the most beautiful day, thank you for everything. I love you queen. A lot a lot a lot.”

A month later, the two women shared matching photos online from their London trip.

In one, where Hannah poses at Tower Bridge, Luisa posted a string of drooling, heart-eye, and starry-eyed emojis.

She later referred to Hannah as “wifey” and thanked her “for making this possible”.

We reported yesterday that Neil was dating again — exactly a year after his split with fellow Strictly pro Katya Jones.

A source told us: “Neil is smitten with Luisa and they’re a very sweet couple.

“After they were introduced, they stayed in touch. But it’s been hard with the lockdown restrictions. Since they lifted, Luisa flew to London last month and has been staying at Neil’s flat.

“They’re taking it slowly but both are serious about this relationship and it’s clear Neil is head-over-heels.”

Last week, Neil admitted in an online Q&A with fans that he was seeing someone.

Today, both Luisa and Neil shared pictures of them together on Instagram.

Luisa’s snap was of the pair watching a sunset with the caption: “Just you.”

But some of her 17,000 followers questioned what had happened to Hannah.

Neil shared a black and white snap of him cuddling Luisa with his 225,000 fans.

His caption was just a heart emoji. He also shared a video of them in a lift.

He and Russian Katya, 31, ended their six-year marriage last August after she was pictured snogging Seann Walsh, 34 — her celeb partner on the BBC dancing show in 2018.

The pair had spent ten months trying to patch things up before splitting.

Neil told The Sun at the time: “We found that we’d grown apart, like people do. 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.”

The Sun today contacted Hannah and Neil for comment.
