Katya Jones has cut contact with Seann Walsh after Strictly kiss scandal

Strictly Come Dancing ’s Katya Jones has reportedly ceased all contact with Seann Walsh.

A kissing scandal erupted when the dance show partners were spotted snogging outside a pub after a training session.

The Russian dancer fell victim to the Strictly curse on the 2018 series while coupled with the comedian when they were spotted killing outside a London pub "like a pair of teenagers".

The pair hit it off on and off the dance floor as they were seen getting playful on a night out, despite them both having partners.

Katya, 30, was married to fellow Strictly pro Neil Jones at the time, while Seann, 34, was going out with actress Rebecca Humphries.

At the time the dancing duo apologised for the “one-off drunken mistake”.

The scandal saw Rebecca dump Seann, while Katya’s husband stood by her, though they separated months later.

But the pro dancer has since revealed she is “no longer in touch with Seann,” according to the Daily Star.

She told the publication the scandal was “unnecessary and overwhelming”.

“Whatever happened, happened. I don’t have to justify myself. It’s my life, my business.

“It made me realise who I am, what I’m made of,” she said.

The dancer said she’s still friends with her estranged husband Neil and claimed they were “drifting apart romantically” at the time anyway, and “came to the realisation [they] were better off as friends.”

Her comments come just weeks after Neil made a dig at his “cheating” ex wife, dropping a huge hint that he’s over her.

In a savage Tik Tok video titled When You Bump Into Ur Ex Wife, the pair having an awkward run-in backstage before he walks out and jokes his ex has gone "crazy".
