Is Seann Walsh swapping Strictly Come Dancing for I’m A Celebrity?

Seann Walsh could be swapping the ballroom for the jungle after getting the boot from Strictly Come Dancing.

The comedian is tipped to jet Down Under for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here when it returns to ITV later this year.

Walsh, who caused outrage after he was pictured passionately kissing dancer Katya Jones, has odds of 4/7 to join the show.

Betfair Spokesperson Katie Baylis said: “His time on Strictly may have come to an end, but after the cheating scandal we don’t think that will be his last foray into reality TV this year.

“We make it odds-on at 4/7 that he will head down under for I’m a Celeb, where he’s sure to be quizzed endlessly by his fellow camp mates on his dalliance.”

Walsh was kicked off of Strictly on Sunday night after he failed to win over the judges with his Viennese Waltz to I Put A Spell on You for the Halloween special.

The panel voted unanimously to save cricketer Graeme Swann and his partner Oti Mabuse.

Walsh is among a host of famous faces rumoured to be gearing up for a stint on I’m A Celebrity including former Strictly professional Brendan Cole.

Other names in the mix include Holby City actress Rosie Marcel, Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan, X Factor star Fleur East and Good Morning Britain anchor Kate Garraway.

Made in Chelsea stalwart Jamie Laing, EastEnders actress Rita Simons and Celebrity Big Brother housemate Roxanne Pallett are also rumoured.

Declan Donnelly will be joined by Holly Willoughby who will front the show alongside him in place of Ant McPartlin.

The Geordie star is on a break from TV following his stint in rehab earlier this year.
