Seann Walsh will hook up with Katya Jones again to dance on Strictly finale – shattering her husband Neil’s hopes he was gone for good
SEANN Walsh will be waltzing back onto Strictly Come Dancing’s final episode – and back into the arms of his snog-gate partner Katya Jones.
The news will be a huge disappointment for Katya’s husband Neil, who probably hoped the shamed comedian was gone for good.
Strictly insiders tell The Sun Online that Seann is set to return to the show’s final episode to dance with Katya – just weeks after he was booted off the series.
“Neil will be gutted as when Seann was voted off the show, he was glad to see the back of him,” says the source.
“Since he went, the atmosphere backstage has improved and Neil has been visibly happier.
“Things are back on track in his marriage – so he’ll be gutted when Seann is back on set.”
Seann – who was then dating actress Rebecca Humphries – and married Katya were caught snogging outside a pub in central London last month.
It sparked one of the biggest scandals in the show's long history of wrecking celebrity relationships.
Seann, who had been with Rebecca for five years, offered his "sincere apologies" and called the incident a "one-off drunken mistake".
Katya, who married husband Neil in 2013, said: “I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship.”

Rebecca then responded by releasing a statement on her Twitter account about the incident, claiming she is "not a victim" but hasn't received an apology from Seann.
She revealed she's moved out of the London flat they shared and taken the couple's beloved cat Winston with her.
Seann and Katya went on It Takes Two on October 10 to apologise for their actions together.
The comedian, visibly agitated and uncomfortable, told host Zoe Ball: “I think that, obviously I’m sorry for the hurt that I’ve caused.
“We were getting on well, we were having fun. We had a couple of drinks and made a huge mistake and I regret it deeply.
“I think first of all I would rather not be having to address this publicly, but I feel like I have to. I’m not perfect, far from it.
"Our relationship wasn’t perfect. That doesn’t mean I wanted it to end the way it finally did.”
