I'm A Celeb's Seann Walsh admits his 'career was dead' after Strictly kiss scandal

Seann Walsh recounted the moment he believed his "career was dead" in the wake of his Strictly Come Dancing scandal as he opened up about the events in tonight's episode of I'm A Celebrity.

The comedian hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons while taking part in Strictly back in 2018, when he was pictured kissing his pro dancing partner Katya Jones. Seann, 36, was in a long-term relationship with actress Rebecca Humphries at the time, while Katya was married to Strictly co-star Neil Jones.

Seann's then-girlfriend Rebecca put out a defiant statement after the infamous photos made the front pages, accusing him of "inappropriate, hurtful behaviour" and revealing that the pictures in question were taken on her birthday. Katya and Neil announced that they were divorcing almost a year later, but insisted that the scandal was not a factor in the break-up.
