SHAMED Strictly star Seann Walsh is reportedly hoping fans forgive him for snogging Katya Jones as he's "desperate" to stay on the show.
The comic, 32, has been working extra hard in rehearsals to impress viewers when he takes to the dance floor tomorrow night.
All eyes will be on Seann and Katya, 29, tomorrow as they return to the Strictly dance floor for the first time since The Sun On Sunday's exclusive pictures caught them kissing on a boozy night out.
Seann has since been dumped by his girlfriend of five years, Rebecca Humphries, 32, over the cheating scandal, but he's said to be keen to make amends with the public.
A source told : "[He] is desperate to get the chance to move on with Strictly and with his life.
“He is training hard and is going to give everything he can in the performance."
The pair are going to be dancing the Charleston after Strictly bosses reportedly asked for the sexy routine they had initially planned to do to be toned down.
They are believed to have been previously planning to treat fans to a sexy Tango or a raunchy Rumba.
It comes as The Sun Online exclusively revealed Seann and Katya were seen kissing at a London pub on several occasions before they were caught on camera.
While Seann got dumped, Katya’s husband, Strictly dancer Neil Jones, has tried to ignore the scandal by going back to work.
Seann and Katya’s grovelling apologies were posted online earlier this week.
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.”
