Strictly's Neil Jones reveals baby girl’s name and shares meaning
Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones and Love Island's Chyna Mills have announced their baby girl's name and its special meaning.
Earlier this month, Neil and Chyna welcomed their first child together, following a double pregnancy and engagement announcement back in April.
Now, in an interview with Hello!, the couple have revealed their daughter is called Havana Jones.
"Cuba is the home of dance and very multicultural so it was perfect; it sums us up," pro dancer Neil said of the name.
"She has dancer's feet," he continued, while Chyna revealed that she and Havana have been supporting Neil's Strictly performances from home.

"We've been watching Neil on Strictly from home. I told her, 'Look, it's Daddy on the screen' and at that moment, she did these little smiles with her eyes closed," she said.
"It would be amazing if she wants to be a dancer," Neil added. "But she can be whatever she wants to be."
Neil recently opened up about his time on the BBC dancing series revealing he is more than happy to be a "cheerleader" for the show, despite only having two celebrity partners in the main series since joining in 2016.

"Every year I say 'as long as I'm still enjoying Strictly and they still want me, then I'm happy to keep doing it, with or without a partner,'" he said.
"Then they call me a second time, which is to say whether I have a partner or not, and I tell them before they get a chance to say it, that I really don't mind either way.
"I'm the Strictly cheerleader and am always rooting for the celebs."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
