Rage of love cheat Seann as he finally gets the Strictly elbow
LOVE cheat Seann Walsh last night stormed off the stage with a foul-mouthed outburst after finally being booted off Strictly Come Dancing.
The comic, 32, is said to have had a huge strop and mouthed “b ******* ” in front of the stunned audience.
He and pro dance partner Katya Jones were voted off the show last night after languishing near the bottom of the leaderboard for the second week.
Their Halloween toy dance routine of the Viennese Waltz failed to win over the panel and Craig Revel Horwood warned their place was in jeopardy.
An onlooker said: “To say Seann was upset was an understatement. As soon as filming finished he walked off and swore. He has been incredibly unpopular with the dancers and celebs and this shows why.”
Seann, who was dumped by his girlfriend after being caught kissing married Katya, 29, in the street earlier this month, admitted he was devastated to leave the show.
He said: “I’m very upset and I’m gutted that I didn’t get to live up to what Katya set out. She’s such an amazing choreographer.”
He added: When you hear people at the end say, ‘This has been the best experience in my life’, I don’t think you really believe…but this has been, without a doubt.”
Seann and Katya were battling for survival against former cricketer Graeme Swann, 39, and Oti Mabuse, 28, but the pair’s cha-cha-cha to Michael Jackson’s Thriller impressed head judge Shirley Ballas.
Following the dance-off, judge Bruno Tonioli said it was a challenge whether to save Seann or Graeme. He said: “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.”
Controversy was sparked last week over the decision by the judges to keep Seann and Katya.
Radio host Vick Hope, 29, who left the show last week with her partner Graziano Di Prima, 24, after dancing it out against Seann and Katya, sparked rumours of a “fix”.
She claimed: “There was a conflab with the producers and then they gave their decision.
“There was this stunned silence, it was a really weird atmosphere.”
But Graziano dismissed the rumours, saying: “Some people said, maybe, it was unfair. But the judges are very professional.” A BBC spokeswoman said: “Seann was nothing but gracious in his thanks for Strictly after last night’s result.”
Katya later tweeted: “Thank you so, so much to everyone who had our support through out this journey!
“We’re gutted not to be able to do more fun routines for you! But I hope we entertained!
“Seann Walsh please don’t keep dancing stick to what you’re good at!”
