Seann Walsh has reportedly signed up for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
It’s said ITV bosses hope the 36-year-old comic will boost ratings by telling of his romance with his professional dance partner Katya Jones, 33, during the 2018 series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
Images of the pair kissing led to the end of the dancer’s six-year marriage to fellow Strictly pro Neil Jones, 40, and ended Seann’s five-year relationship with 35-year-old actress Rebecca Humphries.
A source told The Sun on Thursday night (06.10.22): “Seann is an incredible signing for ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and it’s a real coup for ITV.
“His snog with Katya is the biggest scandal to have ever hit Strictly. People still talk about it.
“Seann has joked about his snog with Katya in his comedy sketches but he’s never spoken in detail about their relationship.
“Life in the jungle is boring and those long hours around the campfire would be the perfect time for Seann to get talking.
“He can’t shy away from it either as he’s best known for that snog.
“It’s unlikely his campmates won’t bring it up. It won’t be an easy watch for Katya or the people burnt by their romance.”
Seann has never publicly detailed his romance, which emerged in October 2018 after the comic and dancer had drinks at a pub during filming of the show.
An ITV spokesperson said: “We’ll announce our line-up nearer transmission.”
But it’s said Seann is set to join singer Boy George, comic Babatunde Aleshe and Love Island’s Olivia Attwood in the upcoming series.
The comic last year said his kiss with Katya “destroyed” and his ex Rebecca accused him of “gaslighting”.
