Seann and Katya’s Strictly scandal
The comedian is renowned for being embroiled in one of Strictly’s biggest ever scandals when he was snapped snogging his then-married professional partner Katya Jones in 2018.
Seann was in a long-term relationship with actress Rebecca Humphries, who he lived with at the time.
Meanwhile, Katya was married to fellow Strictly professional Neil Jones for six years.
Katya and Neil divorced a year later but said it had nothing to do with the kiss. Seann and Rebecca also split.

Katya told host-at-the-time Zoe Ball: “Obviously I apologise, and I can’t apologise enough to everyone who it hurt and involved.
“And focusing on my job and doing it as professionally as I can.”
Meanwhile Seann also apologised for the ‘hurt’ he had caused with his actions.
He said: “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.”
