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?

An apparent family member of one of Rebecca's exes is now tweeting accusatory stuff about her and her treatment of him. I guess by putting up the statement she did she is opening herself up to have her own behaviour scrutinized if anybody thinks there has been hypocrisy. It's all getting a bit out of hand now I think.

PurpleOctober · 10/10/2018 15:33

Where is the tweet @twistedstitch?

TwistedStitch · 10/10/2018 15:47

It was under Rebecca's tweet I think, the one about the family member appears to be gone now.

mydogisthebest · 10/10/2018 16:23

SillySally, so because Seann lied about nothing going on his girlfriend must be telling the truth! Strange logic.

Anyway maybe nothing was going on before that night. Maybe his girlfriend knew they did not have a happy relationship and kept on about him and Katya having an affair. I could understand then him calling her a psycho. No not a nice name to call someone but I am sure a lot of people (even some of the saints on here) have called the OH's far worse in temper

Samcro · 10/10/2018 16:26

no one knows for sure if his ex is telling the truth.
I really hate this trial by mn (unless its saint Ant)

SassitudeandSparkle · 10/10/2018 16:35

Well the fact that Sean(n)'s Twitter statement didn't mention his girlfriend at all was pretty damning tbh. At least Katya mentioned her husband in hers. He did come across as not caring about Rebecca in that sense and hasn't handled this well at all IMO.

PurpleOctober · 10/10/2018 16:59

Tbh I think it would have been tacky to mention Rebecca in his statement. He should apologise to her in private, not publicly.

That said I can kind of understand why Katya mentioned her marriage, as Neil works on Strictly himself. Katya and Neil are also not breaking up over this, whereas Rebecca had probably dumped Sean by the time the statement was released. If the relationship was over, I don't see the point in him mentioning her in a public statement as he doesn't owe the public an explanation anyway.

PurpleOctober · 10/10/2018 17:58

Apparently they're on ITT tonight

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/10/2018 18:38

Well that was pretty awkward. The 'lets too contrite' faces etc. Just painful.

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/10/2018 18:40

I agree. Yet it seems he apologise to SM before her. That is pretty low imo.

PawneeParksDept · 10/10/2018 18:41

Gosh that was pretty cringe - it was as if they had committed an actual crime.

Sarcelle · 10/10/2018 18:41

Had to be done though, face the public prior to Sat. Felt embarrassed for them. On a train and managed to watch it on my phone!

DarlingNikita · 10/10/2018 18:45

I think they should have left it after the initial 'is there anything you want to say?' Pushing Seann about his ex's statement was too far IMO. That first point would have been enough to address the elephant in the room without getting into the 'the people who know me best' stuff.

TomHardysNextWife · 10/10/2018 18:46

That was possibly one of the most awkward interviews I've ever watched. Zoe didn't look impressed at having to do it, either.

Even more convinced now that they're only sorry they got caught.

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/10/2018 18:47

the people who know me best' stuff

I agree that was bad.

Sarcelle · 10/10/2018 18:48

Think Zoe should have wrapped it up by asking them about the amazing dance they did last week. Got it back on track to being about dancing.

PurpleOctober · 10/10/2018 18:52

The media really has blown this out of proportion.

It's turned into a witch hunt. Even the politicians - people we have voted in to look after the country- who have affairs for years are not treated like this.

Sean and Katya having a kiss affects no one except his ex and her husband. You'd think they'd commited treason judging by the uproar.

peachgreen · 10/10/2018 18:55

Rebecca is a friend of a (lovely) friend and all I know is that said friend has never been a fan of Sean(n) and although he's sad for Rebecca he's quite relieved they've broken up. He's not a gossip so would never say anything more to me or anyone but I thought it was quite telling.

Blessthekids · 10/10/2018 19:05

Please let that be an end of it and let all four of them get back to dealing with their lives in private. I am sure that Seann equally has a friend who wasn't keen on his ex.

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/10/2018 19:10

I think they are tbh.

I imagine he's quite constrained in what he can do and say at the moment. Maybe this was a right to reply that he asked for.

PurpleOctober · 10/10/2018 19:13

I don't remember days of media coverage, conversations on daytime chat shows, and internet forums going bezerk when Boris Johnson's affair came out, or maybe I wasn't paying attention

iMatter · 10/10/2018 19:13

That was awful

He came across quite aggressively

As someone on twitter just said "It's a shame we don't hold our foreign secretary to such high standards" 🤔

GinandGingerBeer · 10/10/2018 19:17

That was a super cringeworthy, half ass apology Confused
'You' dont realise
'You' don't this that and the other. I think you meant 'I' Sean
Christ, either apologise or don't. That was dreadful. Might as well have said 'ahh well I was going to dump her anyway'
Which he just about did anyway.

Trying2bemum · 10/10/2018 19:20

He seems like a right arsehole
