Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly wasted no time in poking fun at Seann Walsh’s Strictly Come Dancing scandal on tonight’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The comedian was a late arrival to camp along with politician Matt Hancock on Wednesday and where they took on their first Bushtucker Trial, winning six stars out of a possible 11.
But before Seann got underway with the task, presenting duo Ant and Dec jokingly referred to his affair.
‘And we all know what happened the last time Seann was paired up with someone on a reality show…’ they chuckled before adding: ‘Let’s hope he doesn’t get off with Matt Hancock.’
Viewers were in bits by the reference, with one writing: ‘NOT ANT BRINGING UP SEANN AND STRICTLY.’
‘Didn’t take Ant long to make that Seann Walsh dig,’ another remarked.
Seann competed on Strictly in 2018 where he was partnered with professional dancer Katya.
A few weeks into the series, photos and videos emerged of the pair kissing outside a pub in London.
The duo quickly found themselves in the centre of a media storm, as Katya was married to fellow professional dancer Neil Jones and that Seann had a girlfriend of five years, Rebecca Humphries.
A few days later Rebecca released a statement on social media, revealing that the night that Sean cheated, she was sitting ‘alone at home’ on her birthday.
‘We spoke and I told him, not for the first time, that his actions over the past three weeks had led me to believe something inappropriate was going on,’ she added.
Seann and Katya both issued public apologies about what they both referred to as a ‘one-off drunken mistake’.
Katya and Neil initially stayed together after the kiss, but 10 months later they confirmed that they had split after seven years of marriage.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV.
