Seann Walsh says Katya Jones made his ‘dreams come true’ in emotional interview about their relationship after they’re booted off Strictly Come Dancing – three weeks after that steamy snog
STRICTLY'S Seann Walsh said Katya Jones had made his "dreams come true" in an emotional interview about their relationship after they were voted off the show tonight.
The couple - who hit the headlines after sharing a drunken snog earlier this month - lost out in the dance off against Graeme Swann and his partner Oti Mabuse.
The judges unanimously voted to save the former cricketer, leaving Seann and Katya to say their goodbyes after failing to impress with their Viennese Waltz.
When asked by host Tess Daly about his time on the show, Seann, 32, said: “When you watch it and hear people at the end say 'this has been the best experience in my life' I don’t think you really believe them but this has been without a doubt the best experience of my life, probably bar the last few weeks.
"But generally speaking from the beginning it really was. I can’t believe it, it’s been amazing”.
Seann wasn't the only one to make reference to their drunken snog - which saw them cheat on their respective partners - as Katya also spoke about how tough the weeks following the smooch had been.
The 29-year-old said to Seann: “It wasn’t easy but thank you for your commitment every single day.
"We did twelve hours, it was amazing and I’m so proud of you from day one when you couldn’t get your right from your left and now delivering dances like that that.
"Thanks for making me laugh a lot”.
Sean added: “It’s an absolute miracle that I’ve gotten this far. I’ve been Neo from The Matrix, I’ve been used as a set of steps and even Craig a few weeks ago called me hot, it’s been a dream come true and that’s because of you.”

Following the dance off, all four judges opted to save Graeme and Oti, who danced a Cha Cha to Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Craig Revel Horwood said: “I think both couples did the best they could possibly do and it was better than their other performances.
"But one couple for me had timing issues; the other couple had placement issues but the dance that I liked the most and the couple that I’d like to save is Graeme and Oti.”
Darcey Bussell said: “This is always incredible difficult and both couples made mistakes evenly.
"But for me I will choose the couple that had the highest performance value and that was Graeme and Oti.”
Bruno Tonioli also chose the pair, saying: "It’s a hard one because both of you are far from perfect, we’re not talking Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly but I enjoy you both so I have to go with the couple that made me enjoy the evening more so I have to go for Graeme and Oti.”
Head Judge Shirley Ballas didn’t have to cast her vote but said she would have saved Graeme and Oti.
