Star pals rally around Seann and fire up fans to keep him in
CELEBRITY friends of Seann Walsh have been lining up to support him and urge people to vote for him.
The comedian, 36, was thrilled to survive the first vote-off as it shows signs he is being given a second chance by the public.
It follows his Strictly Come Dancing snog with his pro partner, Katya
Jones, which led to him being dubbed a love rat as they were both in relationships.
Comedian Rob Beckett, inset, said: “Vote Seann Walsh. I’ve known Seann for 12 years. He’s a good bloke with a good heart. He’s made mistakes... like we all have at times. He’s got my vote.”
And TV star and former I’m A Celeb winner Emily Atack, below, said: “Seann – one of my best mates. I am TELLING you he is a f**king good man. Keep him in.”
In camp on Saturday night, Seann admitted to Chris Moyles he was relieved and happy not to be the first out.
Seann said in the Bush Telegraph: “I love it here and, for me, the goal was to not be eliminated first and, er, I did it!” Seann is dating dance teacher Grace Adderley, who is pregnant with their first child.
After landing in Brisbane Airport, Grace said she hoped that this was a new chapter. He credits her with encouraging him to sign up.
She said: “I wouldn’t take the credit.
“He was obviously nervous. And I just said, well people are going to say what they want about you regardless of whether you do this or not, so you may as well just enjoy your life and say yes to these opportunities. It’s such a fun life experience.”
