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?

@troodiedoo Do you really think Katya reads all her tweets? She probably doesn't even run her own Twitter account

theliverpoolone · 11/10/2018 21:50

Tbf those you have mentioned didn't snog each other's face off in public.. Well, not that we actually saw, but it doesn't mean they didn't - and they more than likely were doing much worse behind closed doors.
Unfortunately, getting drunk and snogging work colleagues is not uncommon in any walk of life. I agree with MyBabyBoyBlue - while I don't condone what they did, this really shouldn't be the big public scandal a lot of hypocritical media folk have made it into.

He is trying to break into mainstream showbiz. He also acts and appears in that Jack Dee sitcom which is currently on. This experience is either going to make him mega successful or it will completely kill his showbiz aspirations. I doubt that his stand up career will be affected by this.

Katya replied to Rebecca’s initial tweets and instagrams supporting the pair saying ‘ahh thanks, that’s sweet’

So I’m pretty sure she was aware he had a girlfriend!!

Isitmybathtimeyet · 12/10/2018 15:28

PurpleOctober, Sean(n) and Katya had been rehearsing in his home; his girlfriend came to live shows (and won't have just sat in the audience Hmm); Katya followed his girlfriend on social media; they weren't office colleagues, they spent the majority of every day together. It's utter grasping at straws to suggest Katya would have been unaware of his girlfriend.

Sarcelle · 12/10/2018 17:12

The pub they were spotted in said they had been there several nights - they did not know who they were, thought they were a couple, kissing and comfortable with each other. If that is true and can be verified, not just a one off.....

sheldonesque · 12/10/2018 18:06

I saw that sarcelle

N(n)aice … Hmm

xsquared · 12/10/2018 18:08

Sounds like bandwagonning and speculation to me.

Angelf1sh · 12/10/2018 18:18

I haven’t RFTF because 1) I’m fuming at Artem being called creepy, he is BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE HIM and this heinous defamation needing correcting immediately and 2) Kevin and Karen have split up? How did I miss that?

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 12/10/2018 18:53

Kevin and Karen splitting up is last year's drama Angelf1sh. And it wasn't even all that much of a drama compared to this year's kiss, but then she was having an affair with some bloke who wasn't a contestant or even anyone famous so very few people were interested. Plus, that marriage was set to self-destruct from the outset, the only people who didn't think so were Kevin and Karen.

Isitmybathtimeyet · 13/10/2018 08:50

Sounds like bandwagonning and speculation to me.

Sounds extremely plausible to me. I looked up the story and they have multiple sources.

xsquared · 13/10/2018 08:58

From The Sun you mean?

Isitmybathtimeyet · 13/10/2018 09:10

Well, yes. There is that. Smile But the Sun broke the original story too. There's been no denial yet. Maybe there will be - we shall see.

xsquared · 13/10/2018 09:35

Well, for every source saying they did, another says they didn’t.

Anyway, I think it’s The Sun vulturing for whatever tidbit they can to keep they story going.

It will be interesting to see how they perform tonight. I reckon they will be in the bottom two, but wouldn’t be surprised if people started watching and decided to vote for them to stay on either.

Purplemond · 13/10/2018 10:22

It wouldn't surprise me if the show purposely want to get rid of them, so give them a bad song for the dance, bad running position maybe first, the judges score low and overscore weaker competitiors to prevent them been in the dance off

I know its not likely but the atmosphere on ITT makes it feel like they dont want them on the show, i cant imagine what the atmosphere will be like in the upstairs bit tonight will the other contestants support them or not

Isitmybathtimeyet · 13/10/2018 10:43

Where are the sources saying they didn't? Genuinely curious as I've seen none.

xsquared · 13/10/2018 12:17

Isitbathtimeyet, in the same articles where you’ll have seen that locals have claimed that they did.

Volant · 13/10/2018 12:42

I doubt that they'd have been given the Charleston this week (replacing the Rhumba) if the show's bosses want to get rid of them - it's usually a crowd-pleaser.

Inkanta · 13/10/2018 13:27

'I know its not likely but the atmosphere on ITT makes it feel like they dont want them'

Good. You reap what you sow. I want them both out. Strictly is becoming a bit trashy.

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 13/10/2018 14:36

i can’t imagine what the atmosphere will be like in the upstairs bit

Hopefully fine. I don’t condone the actions of (n) & K but if the makers of Strictly have decided that the two are allowed to continue in the competition, despite their personal issues, then it shouldn’t be dragged out on tv. Either kick them off for bringing the show into disrepute (or whatever), or move on. Don’t make them into panto villians.

Either way, this will be Katya’s last series. I don’t envision her contract being renewed next series.

ManicUnicorn · 13/10/2018 14:49

This kind of thing has been happening as long as Strictly had been on air though hasn't it? I don't think they've bought the show into disrepute, I just think that dancing people are different to the rest of us, and had Rebecca not hung Sean out to dry so publicly it would have all blown over by now.

Sean to me looks a bit dirty and grubby, I'm not show why anyone wouldn't fancy him in all honesty.

Volant · 13/10/2018 14:58

It would be deeply hypocritical for people like Karen and Pasha to start ostracising Katya publicly during the programme. If Neil decides to stick firmly by her side and supports her, the others will probably follow his lead.

PawneeParksDept · 13/10/2018 16:41

Natasha Kaplinsky WON THE SHOW whilst cheating

I don't think they deserve to go out for it any more than any of the people who did the same in previous years and by comparison got away with it

charliebear78 · 13/10/2018 16:47

Going off Strictly Instagram page-the majority of comments are very much in favour of Sean(n) and Katya!!

Isitmybathtimeyet · 13/10/2018 19:16

xsquared this is the article I read. No sources quoted to the contrary barring the intial claim that it was a one-off?
