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?

oh god the happy clappy charleston to make him look fun

how cringe

mydogisthebest · 09/10/2018 19:26

SillySally, for God's sake you are talking about a dancer and a comedian. People will only know Katya if they watch Strictly and it seems more people did not know Seann than did before Strictly.

As I said before, I could maybe understand all the ridiculous over the top reporting if it were a member of the Royal Family or the Prime Minister but, as it is, the fuss is pathetic.

On one of the Strictly facebook pages someone is asking should they have to leave and out of 80 replies 78 posters have said they should stay. So it seems a lot of the public are not as shocked and disgusted as the no doubt whiter than white journalists and tv people

ShirleyPhallus · 09/10/2018 19:44

I actually really liked Seann prior to this. Decent comedian. Not actually foul mouthed or really horrible or anything.

I would personally prefer them not to go.

No need to be so condescending. Funnily enough I am entitled to an opinion just as much as you are.

You talk about people being over reacting yet you have counted replies on a post.

I don't care what they do. It his exgf I feel for who had been gaslighted and publically humiliated.

witchhazelblue · 09/10/2018 19:53

Sadly a lot of people don't care if someone cheats in a relationship (speaking through bitter experience) so I doubt they will withdraw just because both of them have the morals of alley cats.

I bet channel 4 news haven't featured it
another reason never to watch BBC news it is awful, biased to its own shows and presenters, patronising and dumbed down....

Most news outlets have.

ivegotflowersinthespring · 09/10/2018 20:07

were they BBC news outlets by any chance?

No

flopsyrabbit1 · 09/10/2018 20:31

i think he will walk

i actually will be embarrased for them if they carry on with SCD

ForalltheSaints · 09/10/2018 21:20

It's not the cheating that I think is why Seann Walsh should withdraw from Strictly, it is the use of the phrase 'mental' towards his now ex-girlfriend. Over the last couple of years we have I hope as a society come to reduce any stigma over mental health, and the use of 'mental' or similar as a form of insult or abuse should be consigned to history.

GabsAlot · 09/10/2018 21:59

i agree @forallthesaints he gaslighted her thats abuse

SouthWestmom · 09/10/2018 22:33

I honestly don't think it will impact on his fan base or on Strictly. It's not that important to anyone except their friends and family. Just a bit of gossip for today's papers.

psicat · 09/10/2018 22:35

I'm always firmly of the belief that should get all sides of story before passing judgement. I did think the gf statement could be either a powerful, outing message - or she could be saying as many nasty things as she could, because she's hurting, and he'd be stuck as not really able to defend self without making it worse. All the gaslighting etc could all be made up, I've certainly known people (men and women) make up worse when had been cheated on.

Buuuuut... Did I read right that the snog happened last wed? So either - he told his gf as soon as he came home or woke up next morning, hungover, full of regret. She then knows about it on sat (did look a bit tearful, assumed that was pride) but had accepted it until blew up in press. Seems very unlikely? Surely would have been joint statement like katya and her husband if so?
So is second option - he didn't tell her, she did find out in press and that suggests her side of the story is more the truth.

Such a shame, I don't necessarily think that should quit for being a cheating cock (he will get voted out for sure) but my god this is going to be cringe worthy if he does dance.

I also thought Neil's naked pic was not surprising. Again, I've known plenty of my friends (and Inc me) post a pic of themselves dressed up to nines, or a bit risqué or even the equivalent of well placed rocks to a) make themselves feel better and b) seek approval from others that they are in fact hot.

I can't find any sympathy for Sean. He looked like a single, happy man in those photos/videos. But he wasn't. Alcohol is not an excuse - we've all done stupid stuff when drunk but I never drive, never cheat, never commit murder, never kick a puppy - the list is endless! Grin

I can't see any excuse for him

mydogisthebest · 09/10/2018 23:01

SillySally, so we know for sure what his girlfriend says is true do we? What about innocent until proven guilty? She could just be out to cause as much trouble for him as she can.

Yes I did count the replies because according to the majority of posters on here not only should Seann quit or be sacked from Strictly he should also receive tons of abuse. Funny how Katya has not had the same amount of hatred and yet she is actually the one that is married

Sarcelle · 10/10/2018 03:03

It’s only Mid-week. Already there is a backlash about the amount of abuse he is getting. I think the pendulum will swing and people will feel sorry for him. He might get a lot of new votes. The UK voting public is a perverse one. Not just politics but Boaty McBoatface.....If he survives this week and keeps silent despite all the resultant dirt digging by the media, he might stick around for a few weeks yet.

I am surprised a lot of people didn’t know who he was prior to this. I thought he was relatively well known but then I watch some comedy panel shows. His hair made him noticeable but he has a distinctive voice which always sounds like he has a cold.

Katya comes from an extremely rich Russian family, she is half Korean (her Mum is Korean). Brought up in luxury and her and her DH enjoy a very lavish lifestyle allegedly. So whilst her brand might suffer she won’t starve.

If you actually watched it, flowers, you'd know that is nonsense.

gingerlemon · 10/10/2018 07:10

They have an unusual wedding video.

mydogisthebest · 10/10/2018 08:27

I agree Sarcelle. An awful lot of people are puzzled and annoyed by the amount of attention this story is getting. As I said before, people are saying they will vote for him because they don't like the way he is being treated.

There are 10 stories in the Mail about Seann today. That is so over the top it is untrue. We don't know for sure that his girlfriend is telling the truth so all we do know is that he had a longstanding girlfriend and snogged a married woman. Hardly a prisonable offence is it?

I am also surprised that Seann wasn't known by many people (although he is now). I have known who he is for years. He has appeared on quite a few comedy shows (I used to watch him on Virtually Famous) and is pretty recognisable because of his hair.

Loonoon · 10/10/2018 08:42

I didn’t take much notice of this when it was just a snog. Fidelity or otherwise is a private matter for the people involved to draw the guidelines on. What caught my attention was the girlfriends open letter where she outed Sean(N) as an emotional abuser.

Lee Ryan was emotionally manipulative when he was in CBB some years ago and I think that is what made him so unpopular on SCD this year. I think Sean(N) will lose votes now and will end up in the dance off. Since he is proving to be a pretty good dancer the judges will then have a dilemma. I think his best option would be to do a crap Charleston so they have a good reason to send him home and take him and Katya out of the spotlight.

I think his girlfriend was brave to post the letter. It must be a difficult time for her.

AlsoKnownAsMillicent · 10/10/2018 08:52

That wedding video Shock

Wow

Raspberry88 · 10/10/2018 08:53

I have to say that I agree about her statement. We can't know for sure that any of it is true. To be honest the pictures looked almost like he went out for an innocent drink, she rang him to say that she suspected something and he just thought, fuck it...I might as well. Not saying he isn't a knob at all but I really don't like the fact that she's just accused him of calling her mental and that's that, no comeback. I also know someone who had something similar happen to them when they hadn't done anything at all and it was so damaging.

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 10/10/2018 08:54

God, that wedding video is cringey. Lovely venue, clearly no expense spared but then that tacky mess of video? Ugh

SassitudeandSparkle · 10/10/2018 09:17

Shock at that video Shock

TomHardysNextWife · 10/10/2018 09:35

OMG. I'm actually speechless at that video Shock Shock
