Strictly Come Dancing judges want Seann Walsh and Katya Jones booted off show over snog scandal
SEANN Walsh’s girlfriend has moved out of their home — with TV judges believing he should be kicked off Strictly after snogging Katya Jones.
Sources close to comic Seann, 32, confirmed heartbroken actress Rebecca Humphries had left the flat they shared.

It came after Seann was pictured in The Sun on Sunday kissing telly dance partner Katya in a London street.
One source said: “Rebecca decided to move out over the weekend and they agreed it was best for both of them. She’s devastated by the situation and feels she needs time apart from him to clear her head.”
Seann was living with 32- year-old Rebecca in Hammersmith, West London. He yesterday returned to rehearsals with married Katya, 29, at the BBC1 show’s Elstree studio.
But his drunken snog with the Russian has caused fury backstage at Strictly, with show judges preferring them to be booted off.

Panellists Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli, Shirley Ballas and Darcey Bussell think it will be hard for the couple to continue.
The incident, on Rebecca’s birthday last Wednesday, has also divided Strictly’s professional dancers.

A Strictly source said: “It’s caused a real divide in the camp. Neil is genuinely one of the nicest guys you’d meet and it’s embarrassing for everyone.
“The judges think it’s unfortunate and will be hard for them to continue.
“It’s a real shame as their dance on Saturday was brilliant — now the focus has shifted entirely.”
Seann and Katya issued social media apologies for their behaviour on Sunday, blaming the kiss on booze.
REBECCA'S REVENGE
REBECCA broke her silence on Seann’s cheating, calling his behaviour “aggressive” and “controlling”.
And she slammed the comic for branding her a “psycho” when she questioned his relationship with married Katya.
Revealing he had not been in touch since the story broke, she tweeted: “I was alone at home when Sean texted at 10pm saying they were going for one innocent drink. I said his actions over the past three weeks had led me to believe something inappropriate was going on.
“He aggressively and repeatedly called me a psycho/nuts/mental. As he has countless times.”
She added: Despite everything, I hope he gets what he wants from this. I’m not sorry I took the cat though.”
A spokeswoman for Seann declined to comment.
