Jones also offered some advice to Gill, who is a former member of the boy band JLS.
She said: "My advice to JB is to just stay focused on the dancing. Don't let anything else distract you."
"The most important thing is to put in the hard work and give it your all. That's the only way to succeed on Strictly."
Claims of Rule Break
The claims of a rule break came after Jones and Gill were spotted together at a restaurant in London.
According to The Sun, the pair were seen "laughing and joking" and "looking very close."
A source told the newspaper: "Katya and JB were definitely breaking the rules. They were seen together at a restaurant in London, and they were acting very close."
Strictly Come Dancing Rules
Strictly Come Dancing has a number of rules in place to ensure that the show is fair and competitive.
One of the rules is that professional dancers are not allowed to spend time with their celebrity partners outside of rehearsals.
This rule is in place to prevent the dancers from giving their partners an unfair advantage.
Conclusion
It remains to be seen whether Jones and Gill will face any punishment for their alleged rule break.
However, Jones has insisted that they have not broken any rules and that they are both committed to giving it their all on Strictly.
