'REAL LOVE DOESN'T HURT'

Strictly love rat Seann Walsh’s ex breaks her silence with telling post as he signs up for I’m A Celeb

FORMER Strictly star Seann Walsh's ex-girlfriend has broken her silence after it's been revealed he has signed up to I'm A Celebrity.

Rebecca Humphries was left devastated in 2018 when Seann cheated on her with his Strictly dance partner Katya Jones on a boozy night out.

Their relationship ended soon after, and Rebecca underwent therapy to help her with trust issues.

The actress and author, who has published a memoir about self worth, accused Seann of gas-lighting her and vowed to never speak to him again.

Taking to Instagram this morning, she shared a post promoting the services of the domestic abuse charity Women's Aid.

It read: "I don’t know who needs this today, but @womens_aid do god’s work. There are so many ways to get in touch if things don’t feel right.

"Someone else labelling you as ‘too sensitive’ is abusive, because it keeps you contained & safer for them. You are not being sensitive, overly emotional, dramatic for feeling trapped or helpless in a relationship. You deserve to feel safe. Love can be hard, but real love doesn’t hurt.

"Worth remembering that while it’s very common for women to experience this type of treatment, it’s not a gendered issue."

The Sun has contacted Rebecca's rep for comment.

ITV bosses are hoping love rat comic Seann, 36, will finally tell all about his snog with pro partner Katya, 33.

Their shock romance ended the dancer’s marriage and his own five-year relationship.

The comic has never gone into detail about his romance with Katya and ITV bosses hope jungle life will give Seann, 36, the perfect opportunity to finally tell all.

A source said: “Seann is an incredible signing for I’m A Celebrity and it’s a real coup for ITV.

“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.”

Seann is set to join pop star Boy George, comic Babatunde Aleshe and Love Island’s Olivia Attwood in the forthcoming series.

ITV said: “We’ll announce our line-up nearer transmission.”

The Sun revealed how Seann and Katya, 33, hooked up after a boozy session in a pub during the show in October 2018.

Photos showed them snogging in the street and they later had to appear on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two to talk about what happened.

They were voted off Strictly three weeks after their romance was made public.

Months later, Katya ended her marriage to fellow Strictly pro Neil Jones, 40.

Seann was dumped publicly by actress Rebecca.

She released a statement, claiming that throughout her relationship Seann had “gas-lighted” her. It later emerged that he had a fling with Emily Atack behind Rebecca’s back.

Seann said last year that the Katya kiss had “destroyed” his career.
