Comedian and former Strictly Come Dancing star Seann Walsh reportedly joins the lineup for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Seann Walsh is the latest name reportedly confirmed for the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The 36-year-old comedian previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, sparking a media storm when he was spotted kissing his professional partner Katya Jones on a night out - at a time when she was still married to fellow show dancer Neil Jones.

"Seann is an incredible signing for I'm A Celebrity and it's a real coup for ITV," a source told The Sun.

"His snog with Katya is the biggest scandal to have ever hit Strictly. People still talk about it.

"Seann has joked about his snog with Katya in his comedy sketches but he's never spoken in detail about their relationship.

"Life in the jungle is boring and those long hours around the campfire would be the perfect time for Seann to get talking. He can't shy away from it either as he's best known for that snog.

"It's unlikely his campmates won't bring it up. It won't be an easy watch for Katya or the people burnt by their romance."

Other celebs rumoured to be in the lineup for the show, which begins later this month, include Boy George, Hollyoaks star Owen Warner and reality TV star Olivia Attwood.
