Seann Walsh makes shocking accusation towards Strictly's Neil Jones following Katya kissing scandal
Comedian Seann Walsh told audiences that Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones is "gay" during a recent stand-up gig, according to reports. The Sun has revealed that Seann made the comments during a performance at a pub, saying: "Before the show, the newspapers were complaining they didn’t know who I was. You know who I am now, [explicit]. I’m the guy who kissed a gay man’s wife." He then reportedly added: "Please don’t report that. I’m only joking. I’m just here trying to make you laugh."
Katya and Neil have been married for five years
His stand-up routine was part of the Always Be Comedy night at The Tommyfield in Kennington, on 6 December. Seann and his Strictly partner Katya Jones found themselves at the centre of a media storm during their time on the show, after they were filmed passionately kissing following a night out. Katya has been married to Neil since 2013, and Seann was in a relationship with girlfriend Rebecca Humphries at the time.
