The BBC have confirmed the pair will perform on the Latin and ballroom programme as expected, which comes after fans called for them to be axed when they were spotted smooching each other during a night out, despite both being in other relationships.

Following the kiss, Seann has been dumped by his girlfriend of five years, Rebecca Humphries, but Katya's husband Neil Jones wrote on social media that he was "really proud" of the pair's routine last weekend.

The pair have been back in training this week, after publicly apologising to their respective partners, ahead of their Charleston routine to Lunchmoney Lewis' 'Bills'.

The dance is not expected to involve as much contact as their Paso Doble last week, and following their kiss it has been claimed that Seann and Katya's routine was made less "sexy".

Seann's girlfriend hit out at him in a statement she shared on social media last night (08.10.18), claiming he had called her "a psycho" and "mental" for suggesting "something inappropriate was going on" between him and Katya.

Rebecca also revealed she had ditched him and is "not sorry" for taking their cat.

She wrote: "Hello there, My name is Rebecca Humphries and I am not a victim.

I wasn't sure whether to respond to events from the past week, but I feel the narrative has missed a couple of crucial elements that I would like to clear up.

"It's incredibly good of Sean(n) and Katya to apologise in the media. I have received nothing, other friends, and a host of strangers on the internet who all wanted to than the support of my family, friends, and a host of strangers on the internet who all wanted to make sure I was OK. What I have also kindly received are many offers to sell my side of the story, but I would prefer for it to be on my own terms.

"Those pictures were taken on October 3rd. It was my birthday. I was alone at home when Sean texted at 10pm saying the two of them were going for one innocent drink. We spoke and I told him, not for the first time, that his actions over the past three weeks had led me to believe something inappropriate was going on. He aggressively, and repeatedly called me a psycho / nuts / mental. As he has done countless times throughout our relationship when I've questioned his inappropriate, hurtful behaviour.

But - this whole business has served to remind me that I am a strong, capable person who is now free; and no victim. I have a voice and will use it by saying this to any woman out there who deep down feels worthless and trapped with a man they love:

Believe in yourself and your instincts. It's more than lying. It's controlling. Tell some very close friends who, if they're anything like my wonderful network, will swoop in and take care of the logistics and of you.

It's important also to recognise that in these situations those who hold power over you are insecure and fragile, and their need for control comes from a place of vulnerability. I think it certainly does in Sean's case. Despite everything, I hope he gets what he wants from this. I'm not

sorry I took the cat though. Love. Rebecca (sic)"

Seann took to social media earlier this week to apologise for his actions.

He wrote: "In light of the story in today's newspaper I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my actions. This is no excuse but it was a one-off drunken mistake which I am truly sorry for. (sic)"

Katya tweeted: "I'm so sorry about any offence or hurt I may have caused with my actions. I wasn't thinking and it was a one-off mistake after some drinks. I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship. (sic)"
