Girlfriend of Strictly star Seann Walsh ‘supported by friend following kissing claims’

Reports claim Seann snogged Katya Jones on his girlfriend's BIRTHDAY

| Updated:

The girlfriend of Strictly Come Dancing star Seann Walsh has reacted on social media after a friend sent her well wishes following newspaper claims her man passionately kissed his show mentor in the street.

Actress Rebecca Humphries was seen supporting her boyfriend of five years in the studio audience of last night’s show – and burst into tears after he and dance pro Katya Jones pulled off a Matrix-themed Paso Doble.

However, according to The Sun, comic Sean snogged married Katya earlier this week – and it seems the curly-haired comic may have tried out his new moves on Rebecca’s BIRTHDAY.

An onlooker is reported to have told the newspaper: “They were snogging like a pair of teenagers and didn’t seem to care who might see them.”

Show insiders have also been reported to have commented on Seann and Katya’s personal chemistry.

“Seann and Katya hit it off from day one. They are always laughing and messing around, and are incredibly tactile with each other,” the unnamed source is quoted to have said.

“It hasn’t gone unnoticed by cast and crew but no one expected this. It’s going to cause real ructions backstage not least because Katya and Neil have to work alongside each other week in, week out.”

Pal and fellow actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter today offered her support to Rebecca in the form of a tweet bearing a heart emoji.

Even though Rebecca has made no definitive comments about today’s reports and the photos that accompany them, the redhead performer did seem to appreciate the gesture by liking it in response.

And amid further reports claiming Rebecca has unfollowed 32-year-old Seann on Instagram, it seems the couple do not follow each other on Twitter.

Just last week Rebecca posted a snap of Sean and his dance partner, 29, on the photo-sharing social media site, praising them both as “legends”.

She wrote in the image caption: “I can’t [bleep] breathe. These two legends are working their [bleep] off…

“Walsh has been doing moves on holiday, in coffee shops, around Westfield, at the pub, in his sleep.

“We have moved half our (very heavy) furniture to create a Shepherds Bush at home dance studio. I am LIVING for it.”

Katya’s husband Neil Jones – who is also a choreographer on Strictly – has also had a muted reaction to the claims.

Although he has been active on social media today, he shared a video of his wife’s performance with Seann – describing their dancing as “epic”.

Has the Strictly curse struck again?
