Katya Jones and Seann Walsh could be set for an awkward reunion in the I’m A Celebrity jungle after getting the boot from Strictly Come Dancing.

The scandalous duo were finally eliminated from the competition on Sunday, weeks after they were pictured passionately kissing on a night out.

Walsh and Jones, who both apologised for their “drunken” actions, survived several weeks in the competition before losing out to Graeme Swann and Oti Mabuse in the dance-off on Sunday.

But the pair could be set to pop up on another reality TV show together, with Jones now tipped to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle - days after Walsh was rumoured .

The professional dancer, who is married to fellow Strictly star Neil Jones, is now 16/1 to pack up and head Down Under, with odds of 20/1 for the couple to enter together to dish the dirt on the Strictly curse.

Betfair Spokesperson Katie Baylis said: “Seann and Katya have become one of the most famous duos in the UK this year.

“We have it 20/1 that they will both go in, in what would surely see the show’s already massive ratings go through the roof, with the nation still desperate to get the inside word on that kiss.”

But, Walsh’s representatives have been quick to deny any speculation. Jones’ team has been contacted for comment.

The pair were pictured kissing outside a London club on October 3, the day of Walsh’s then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries’ birthday. He was later dumped by the actress, who posted a savage statement on Twitter in which she confirmed she is keeping their cat.

Jones, meanwhile, issued her public apology on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two and insisted that her marriage is “absolutely fine” in the wake of the controversy.

I’m a Celebrity returns to ITV this month, hosted by Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby.
