Seann Walsh / Katya Jones snogging

Maybe this should go in celebrity gossip if such a board exists but I feel so sorry for his girlfriend and her husband

How likely is it they’ll be voted out of Strictly this weekend?

He's not the best dancer anyway. She's amazing and does a fantastic job of making him look better than he is.

I don't think he ever had a fan base like some of the others - he was the only one I'd never heard of when he was announced. I think they'll definitely lose votes over this, it's a family show and scandal isn't welcome.

I feel for his girlfriend but more so for Neil Jones - at least Seann's girlfriend can switch off the telly and get pissed with her friends, he doesn't have that option.

i will still vote for him.

The tweets that the pair of them have put out take the absolute piss.

TwistedStitch · 08/10/2018 10:27

It's all a bit awkward really. They've made public apologies and some of the fans are acting like they are the ones who've been betrayed. It's going to be very uncomfortable viewing. I thought he would withdraw from the show, imagine them doing a rumba now!

Allabitmuchisntit · 08/10/2018 10:29

If they think anything of their partners, they’ll both quit the show.

SillySallySingsSongs · 08/10/2018 10:29

I agree. Timed to perfection.

Blaming alcohol is stupid too.

MunchMunch · 08/10/2018 10:31

I hate seeing them cross the line with their dance partners.

On a side note, I missed their dance and only saw the end with him tumbling so I've just watched it on YouTube - WOW! Katy's is a fantastic dancer and choreographer, the slow mo bits were fab!

PiperPublickOccurrences · 08/10/2018 10:31

The tweets aren't remorseful. It's a "sorry we got caught".

thenightsky · 08/10/2018 10:31

There is a Sleb Gossip board. Or there used to be.

TiredPony · 08/10/2018 10:33

The curse of Strictly strikes again.

Blessthekids · 08/10/2018 10:37

I will still vote for him if they do another epic routine.
Its a private matter and I do think people can make mistakes. And alcohol can make people do stupid things especially when they are already being stupid! I don't know why people are being so judgemental about this, they are adults and having to face the personal consequences is punishment enough I am sure.

Made worse by the fact that apparently her husband helps with the choreography.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/10/2018 10:38

Weirdly enough I said to DH on Saturday that I think these two fancy each other. Awful for their partners. If they can kiss like that in public what are they doing in private?

surferjet · 08/10/2018 10:43

Doesn’t this sort of thing go on every year?
Why a lot of people watch it.

expatmigrant · 08/10/2018 10:48

I think they should both get sacked.
She is a professional person, working in the public eye and has humiliated her partner.
Seann Walsh is just an arse.

TwistedStitch · 08/10/2018 10:49

I don't see how she can get sacked. Kristina, Pasha, Flavia and who knows how many more weren't sacked.

Undercoverbanana · 08/10/2018 10:49

Aren’t they encouraged to do these things to get people talking about the show to boost ratings?

I’m a bit of a cynic.

Juells · 08/10/2018 10:54

It's always been said that Neil does a lot of the choreography. I'm disappointed to see this as she's one of my favourite dancers, she and Oti are the best females IMO. :(

Seann Walshe's nose always sounds bunged-up, which makes me go....Hmm

PiperPublickOccurrences · 08/10/2018 10:55

I don't think they should be sacked.

Whether one or either of them chooses to withdraw from the series is another matter. Can't see that happening though. Seann will be voted out over the next few weeks.

DarlingNikita · 08/10/2018 10:56

I agree. While I don't condone people cheating, they have just been unlucky enough to get caught. If gossip/backstage sources over the years are to be believed, they're hardly the first pair to be at it when one or both of them are married/partnered. And I'd bet my bottom dollar the pro dance world is rife with cheating and partner-swapping.

SillySallySingsSongs · 08/10/2018 10:58

Flavia was single at the time. With Kristina it was Ben Cohen who was married, I believe she was single. Not sure about the others.

It's always been said that Neil does a lot of the choreography.

Yes I have heard that many times. I believe he also has a lot to do with the group dances.

SausageSimon · 08/10/2018 11:00

Just watched the video on YouTube, this is the first I've heard of it!
They're extremely comfortable and acting like a loved up couple. Not just an extremely drunken kiss that shouldn't have happened

GabsAlot · 08/10/2018 11:01

if my husband snogged someone at work id ask him to find another job

no difference here they should quit

TwistedStitch · 08/10/2018 11:03

Flavia was in a LTR with Vincent, a fellow dancer on the show, when she left him for Matt DiAngelo.

Badtasteflump · 08/10/2018 11:03

I don't know if they would/could be sacked over this but I do think they should show some respect for Katya's husband and withdraw from the show - how humiliating for him Sad

If they stay it will be fascinating (in a horrible kind of way) to see how the show deals with them from now on with interviews/comments etc...
