Seann Walsh / Katya Jones snogging

[ShirleyPhallus]

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?

Shirley very clearly asks for 'chemistry' between the couples, what's that if it's not sex?

It doesn't surprise me that some of the prof. couples on SCD have 'open' relationships it makes more sense, less hypocrisy.

They coped when Will Young dropped out a few years back too.

Seann would be no great loss to the show. Katya moreso as she takes a big role in the pro group dances. But nothing insurmountable.

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

The she left Matt for Jimmy Mistry.

They’re all at it. Rachel Riley left her husband for Pasha. Not sure if the relationships overlapped, no evidence to say they did.

Brendan Cole cheated on fellow pro dancer in the very first series. I think they were engaged but I could be wrong.

In the pro dancing world, as someone said, there is a lot of marrying for visa purposes.

John Sargeant also dropped out as well

Its easy to solve either have 3 in the final (which they seem to prefer) or just have no one going out one week

Started reading "John Sargeant" there and was about to go OMG who did he have an affair with??...

But (aside from in extreme personal circumstances) is it professional to quit and break a contract?

They'll be voted out anyway I expect!

It would be ridiculous to kick Sean and Katya off the show when every year there is some sort of affair/marriage breakdown. They have not behaved very well but if you removed everyone from the show that had some sort of indiscretion there would be no one left!

they just have 3 instead of 4 for the final

Indeed. It makes for a more tiring final for the other three though, as they have shorter breaks in between dances. It's less interesting to watch, too, more like a conveyor belt of the same people. I bet the producers pray every year that no one drops out.

Apparently it was his girlfriend’s birthday when they were out snogging. What gets me is that they were so blatant about it. Obviously people would see them in a London pub snogging away and outside.

It fits that she may have an open marriage then and I guess he isn’t that in to his girlfriend any more to treat her with such distain. Of course they were going to be seen.

I'm surprised that Neil hasn't broken his nose. He looks rock hard.

Neil was pictured yesterday out laughing and joking with a female friend, he also put a comment on Instagram praising Katya and Seann's performance. If it is a marriage of convenience I hope he says so because Katya is getting shit loads of abuse from people who are apparently defending his honour.

This has to be the quickest and most publicly obvious case of the strictly curse ever?! I can’t believe how blatant the we’re in the street

*they were

You'd be surprised at how many dancers smoke and take drugs. All part of the plan to keep the weight down. Ex dancer here.

Never heard of these dancers but if this Neil guy is looking cool then the gay beard theory looks v plausible. Doesn't absolve the comedian but christ, what an environment to work in. How any comedian or musician etc stays long term faithful is a mystery really. It's why showbiz relationships so rarely last, surely.

Katya is getting shit loads of abuse from people who are apparently defending his honour

And so she should - even if she has an open marriage, doesn't mean it's ok to snog somebody else who is apparently in a 'normal' relationship.

What a skank.

f it is a marriage of convenience I hope he says so

hello Mr Immigration Official from the Home Office, would just like to state that I'm in a sham marriage with a Russian, yes I've lied and yes we've made false declarations but it's all good, yeah?

There's no evidence it's a sham marriage - that's pure speculation. Even if it is not as exclusive as you're led to believe, thinking he'll make a public statement is just crazy. Seann's girlfriend appears to be totally devastated by the events.

If it is a marriage of convenience I hope he says so because Katya is getting shit loads of abuse from people who are apparently defending his honour.

The person she is snogging isn't in an open relationship. Just because she allegedly is (which no one actually knows is true or not) it doesn't mean she can go around snogging anyone she likes. She is as guilty as Sean is.

There’s a few people on another site saying this was staged. Which I don’t get, as it makes Seann Walsh look like a complete wanker, and his girlfriend seems genuinely upset. Still that was a very public place to be indiscreet

It does seem rather staged. Katya and Neil danced to Gladys Knight's 'Licence to Kill' this week.

"Anyone who tries to tear us apart".....

Which I don’t get, as it makes Seann Walsh look like a complete wanker, and his girlfriend seems genuinely upset. Still that was a very public place to be indiscreet

She has allegedly now dumped him and this happened on her birthday too.

It's disgusting they're putting to down to be drunk.

You were drunk? Oh well that's ok then, I'm sure your husband and girlfriend will forgive you

Maybe Seann did not know it was staged - Neil certainly gets a lot of publicity out of it and these things never do any harm to the dancers so Katya won’t either

I don't see why Katya deserves abuse from total strangers. If her husband or Seann's partner are angry and hurt that is understandable, but I don't think she owes the viewing public a pound of flesh.
