Thousands have tweeted and saved the statement, hailing Rebecca “brave” and “inspirational”.

But others have been celebrating  her scathing message for another reason, but not everyone may have spotted it.

Near the start of her letter, Rebecca wrote: “It’s incredibly good of Sean(n) and Katya to apologise  the media. I have received nothing…”

While some people read over the line without spotting it, some of Rebecca’s followers gleefully delighted in her jibe at the spelling of his name.

Sean’s real name does not have a double N spelling.

Instead, when he was building his career as a comedian, the 32-year-old added the extra letter to make it into his “showbiz” name.

He was inspired by American Pie and said of the decision: “When I was at school, my favourite film was American Pie and my favourite character was Stifler. Stifler was played by Seann William Scott, he had two 'n's, so I put another one on. That's not on my passport, it's my showbiz name.”

Since releasing her statement, Seann has come under increased pressure to quit the BBC dancing show.

Seann said he put the extra N on his name because he loved the character Stifler, played by Seann William Scott, in American Pie

It comes after The Sun On Sunday revealing him passionately kissing Katya, 29, in the street during a boozy night out in London.

Both issued grovelling apologies for their actions, with Katya insisting her marriage to Strictly professional Neil Jones was still in tact.

Rebecca had kept a dignified silence before releasing the statement, which was hailed brilliant by those who shared it online.

Seann has yet to respond to Rebecca's claims that he was “controlling” and “aggressive”.
