I’m A Celebrity 2022 star Seann Walsh was announced a ‘latecomer’ to the series, alongside disgraced Tory MP Matt Hancock.
Seann is probably best known for his 2018 Strictly Come Dancing stint where he teamed up with Katya Jones.
The 36-year-old stand-up comic has also previously appeared on Mock the Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
Seann hit the headlines during his time on Strictly after he and Katya were snapped kissing
At the time he was in a relationship with actress Rebecca Humphries and Katya was married to co-star Neil Jones.
But what has Seann been up to since he came in for so much attention on Strictly? That is just one question telly fans want to know the answer to, according to Google searches.
What happened with Seann Walsh and Katya Jones?
Seann’s Strictly partnership with dance pro Katya led to one of the BBC One dance series’ most prominent tabloid scandals.
They were snapped snogging in a London street – and Seann has subsequently claimed on stage the incident made him “the most hated comedian in Britain”.
Seann was branded a ‘love rat’ in many reports, as he was seeing The Crown actress Rebecca at the time.
The fallout saw Rebecca tweeting about the end of her five-year relationship with Seann.
She also noted at the time she did not receive an apology – and claimed she had been subject to “controlling” behaviour.
However, the previous evening, Seann took to Twitter, writing: “In light of the story in today’s newspaper I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my actions.
“This is no excuse but it was a one-off drunken mistake which I am truly sorry for.”
And two minutes earlier, Katya tweeted: “I’m so sorry about any offence or hurt I may have caused with my actions.
“I wasn’t thinking and it was a one-off mistake after some drinks.
“I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship.”
What did they say in their TV apology?
A couple of days later, Seann and Katya appeared on Strictly spin off show It Takes Two.
In a subdued showing, Seann opened up about his ‘deep regret’.
He told host Zoe Ball: “I think that, obviously, I’m sorry for the hurt that I’ve caused.
“We were getting on well, we were having fun.
“We had a couple of drinks and we made a huge mistake and I regret it deeply.”
He went on to object to how he had been represented.
Seann continued: “I would rather not have to address this publicly but I feel I have to. I made a mistake, which I’m very sorry for, I’m sorry for the hurt that I’ve caused.
“You never think about the extent of the damage that you’re going to do, in a moment of, you know the mistake that you’ve made. I’m not perfect, far from it. Our relationship wasn’t perfect. That doesn’t mean I wanted it to end the way it finally did, and I’m very sorry for that.
“I feel it’s also important for me to say that the people that know me the most, that love me, they know that I am not the person I’m being portrayed as. I’m still sorry for what I did, but it’s very important for me to get that out there.”
Katya, meanwhile, added: “Obviously I apologise, and I can’t apologise enough to everyone who it hurt and involved.
“But, the main thing for me is that me and Neil are absolutely fine and that’s what matters to me the most right now and focusing on my job and doing it as professionally I can.”
Katya and Neil did, subsequently, split.
What is Seann Walsh doing now?
His most recent IMDb credits as a performer include appearances in The Bystanders, Meet the Richardsons and The Love Box in Your Living Room.
The latter, a Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse spoof celebration of the BBC‘s centenary, included Seann taking off Michael McIntyre.
But in terms of what Seann Walsh is doing right now… well, he’s about to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle tonight (November 9).
