Strictly’s Neil and Katya Jones put on united front for awkward meeting with Seann Walsh at final show rehearsals
Neil and Katya held hands as they headed to the first Strictly group rehearsal – where they will come face-to-face with Seann
NEIL and Katya Jones put on a united front for their awkward meeting with Seann Walsh at rehearsals for the final of Strictly Come Dancing.
The couple – whose marriage was rocked after Katya’s snog with Seann – held hands as they walked to the studios in London.
Seann will be returning to the show this weekend and will perform in a group dance with Katya, 29, and his co-stars from this series.
While Neil, 35, has maintained his silence over the scandal which happened in October, Seann, 33, has been accused of cashing in on the kiss.
After re-branding himself as “the most hated comedian in the UK” Seann also mocked Neil during a stand up gig in a pub and called him “gay”.
He said: “Before the show, the newspapers were complaining they didn’t know who I was.
“You know who I am now, motherf******. I’m the guy who kissed a gay man’s wife.”
He then added: “Please don’t report that. I’m only joking.
“I’m just here trying to make you laugh.”
Show insiders told The Sun yesterday Neil was planning on confronting Seann over the jibe.
They explained: “Neil has been telling pals backstage he will confront him and ask him to explain himself.
“He thought the comments were unnecessary so wants to hear what Seann has to say for himself.”
Seann was axed from the Strictly tour after bosses feared it could hurt the show’s image.

Neil and Katya were also left out of the plans.
A source told The Sun: “They have been vocal that they are seriously worried about their jobs.
“Katya’s antics caused a lot of upset. Being excluded from the tour has also made them feel uneasy.”
