Strictly’s Seann Walsh hinted at relationship woes with girlfriend Rebecca Humphries saying she’s ‘very difficult’ to live with – years before kissing Katya Jones
The comedian also revealed Rebecca had tried to curtail his drinking, long before his drunken snog.
STRICTLY'S Seann Walsh had confessed that living with his girlfriend was "very difficult" in a stand-up routine - and revealed she'd tried to curtail his drinking before his drunken snog with Katya Jones.
Comedian Seann, 32, claimed to be annoyed by Rebecca Humphries' cleanliness and attempts to motivate him soon after they moved in together in 2014.
He said during a performance at that year's Edinburgh Comedy Festival: "I have met and moved in with my girlfriend.
"You know what it's like, you have to change, you have to adapt, different ways of looking at life.
"I've had to cut down on my drinking. I'm still allowed to go out, but I'm not allowed to come home drunk. Sorry, what?
"How does that work? What do you want me to do, meet them in the front garden? I have to go out sober."
In a particularly angry part of the routine, Seann ranted: "I love living with my girlfriend, I do, but there are some things that are very difficult to adjust to. For example she's one of these morning people.
"She wakes me up. The other day she woke me up to tell me she was going out. What? Come on!
"'Darling, darling, I'm going out'. Let's just assume that when I wake up and you're not there, I don't think you're playing hide and seek.
"Sometimes she wakes me up and pretends she's being nice. She'll wake me up, 'darling, darling, I'll make a cup of tea'.
"How can I want a cup of tea? I'm asleep. I don't want anything. You haven't made a cup of tea, have you? You've made a plan. I have to get up and do."
Seann, who has dated Rebecca for five years, said of living with the actress: "The flat has to be spotless at all times in case we have guests. Guests! I used to have friends.
"I remember friends would come round, we'd talk nonsense then go out.
"What are these guests doing? Coming round and leaving comments on TripAdvisor? 'I was having a great time until I saw a DVD out of its case, two stars.'"
Seann and Katya, who is married to fellow Strictly pro Neil Jones, yesterday blamed alcohol for their secret kiss on Rebecca's birthday after being exposed by The Sun on Sunday.
He said: "In light of the story in today's newspaper I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my actions.
"This is no excuse but it was a one-off drunken mistake which I am truly sorry for."
Russian dancer Katya, 29, who won last year's Strictly with former Holby City actor Joe McFadden, said in her own statement: "I’m so sorry about any offence or hurt I have caused with my actions.
"I wasn’t thinking and it was a one off mistake after some drinks."I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship."
Bookies have made Seann and Katya favourites to be axed from Strictly following calls from fans for them to quit.
Pictures have also emerged of Seann and Katya enjoying a flirty lunch just hours before their snog.
The Strictly pair can be seen laughing - and Seann even strokes the pro-dancer's hair - during their break from rehearsals.
Unaware of onlookers, the pair carried on giggling as they crossed the road back to the rehearsal venue ahead of Saturday night's show.
Actress Rebecca is said to be "humiliated" by Seann and Katya's actions on Saturday.
