Strictly bosses ban Seann Walsh and Katya Jones from doing a sexy dance next week after they were caught kissing
STRICTLY bosses have reportedly banned Seann Walsh from doing a sexy dance with Katya Jones after they were caught kissing.
BBC chiefs are believed to have changed the pair's brief at the last minute to avoid scrutiny over their body language.

The decision to give them a new dance is said to have been made after The Sun On Sunday published shock pictures of Seann, 32, kissing Katya, 29, on a drunken night out in London.
The pair were reportedly due to dance an intimate rumba or a passionate tango - but they will now take on something less saucy.
also reports that Katya will be wearing a much less revealing costume than in previous weeks.
A source said: "There was a feeling that the touchy feely dance they were doing was not appropriate given the circumstances.

"The new one is much more fitting – no one wants to see them looking too sexy together, or too happy, when their partners are hurting."
The news comes after Seann's girlfriend Rebecca Humphries, 32, publicly dumped him after the cheating scandal.
In a post on Twitter tonight, she claimed he called her a "psycho" when she suspected he was cheating with his Strictly partner Katya Jones before they were caught kissing.
She revealed he left her home alone on the night he was pictured drunkenly snogging the dancer - after denying anything was going on between them.

Rebecca, 32, who has now moved out of the home they shared and taken the cat, started by declaring: "I am not a victim."
She went on to claim he left her at home on her birthday to go out with the dancer and "aggressively" called her a "psycho" when she voiced her suspicions about Katya.
The actress wrote: "These pictures were taken on October 3rd. It was my birthday.

"I was alone at home when Seann texted at 10pm saying the two of them were going for one innocent drink.
"We spoke and I told him, not for the first time, that 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 had done countless times throughout our relationship when I've questioned his inappropriate , hurtful behaviour."
Sources close to comic Seann, 32, last night confirmed the heartbroken actress had left the flat they shared.
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.
In her statement, Rebecca revealed that not only had she moved out, she had taken the couple's cat, Winston, with her.

Rebecca , who has been hugely supportive of Seann and Katya throughout the show, admitted she felt “humiliated.
Katya’s husband, Strictly dancer Neil, on the other hand has tried to ignore the scandal by going back to work.
He even posted a naked snap on Instagram today.
Seann and Katya’s grovelling apologies were posted online last night.
Katya said in a 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.”
Seann added: “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.”
Earlier today the pair pulled the plug on an appearance on Lorraine Kelly’s ITV breakfast show.
The confused host said Seann and Katya had dropped out and would not be appearing on screen.
And pictures have emerged this morning of both Seann and Katya leaving their homes looking grim-faced.
Rebecca's statement in full
Hello there,
My name is Rebecca Humphries and I am not a victim.
I wasn't sure whether to respond to the events of the past week, but I feel the narrative has missed a couple of crucial elements that I would like to clear up.
It's incredibly good of Sean(n) and Katya to apologise in the media. I have received nothing, other than the support of my family, friends and a host of strangers on the internet who all wanted to make sure I was ok.
What I have also kindly received are many offers to sell my side of the story, but I would prefer for it to be on my own terms.
Those pictures were taken on October 3rd. It was my birthday.
I was at alone at home when Sean [sic] texted me at 10pm saying the two of them were going for one innocent drink.
We spoke and and I told him, not for th efirst time, that 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 done countless times throughout our relationship when I've questioned his inappropriate, hurtful behaviour.
But - this whole business has served to remind me that I am a strong, capable person who is now free: and no victim.
I have a voice and will use it by saying this to any woman out there who deep down feels worthless and trapped with a man they love.
Believe in yourself and your instincts. It's more than lying. It's controlling.
Tell some very close friends who, if they're anything like my wonderful network, will swoop in and take care of the logistics and of you.
It's important also to recognise that in these situations those who hold power over you are insecure and fragile, and their need for control comes from a place of vulnerability.
I think it certainly does in Sean's [sic] case.
Despite everything, I hope he gets everything he wants from this.
I'm not sorry I took the cat though.
Love, Rebecca
