Seann Walsh's ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries spoke out about the demise of their relationship ahead of the comic entering the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
On last night's show, viewers saw Seann become emotional as he revealed how a drunken kiss with Strictly dance partner Katya Jones on Rebecca's birthday back in 2018 became the talking point of his career.
At the time, the comedian, 36, was in a long-term relationship with actress Rebecca, 35, while Katya, 33, was married to Strictly pro dancer Neil, 40.
In an interview last month, Rebecca accused Seann of gaslighting during their "toxic" relationship and said she was life in "daily emotional pain" .
"After I put a statement out detailing his gaslighting behaviour, news of other affairs came out publicly, too. For a brief while, I was one half of the poster couple for toxic love," she told The Guardian.
"I hadn’t even known that love shouldn’t look like it did for us, that an insidious loss of joy, opinion and confidence wasn’t what was required of me, I just thought relationships took work and compromise, and weren’t always plain sailing, and a whole host of other unhelpful soundbites I had filed away over the years to justify the daily pain."
Rebecca went on to say how she had only Little Mo-type-characters off EastEnders to go off what gaslighting behaviour looked like.
"No wonder I couldn’t recognise toxicity when it was right in front of me. No wonder I felt lucky to be loved in whatever form it took," she added.
It comes as Seann opened up about the kissing scandal to Sue Cleaver, saying it led to the 'weirdest' and 'worst' moments of his life.
He confessed his then-girlfriend's savage statement regarding his cheating was 'the end' of him, and looked back on the surreal moment he apologised for his actions whilst sitting next to Hollywood stars on national TV.
"Me and my dance partner, who was married, I was in a relationship, we were photographed kissing when we were on Strictly Come Dancing … that was the front page of every newspaper," he recalled to the Eileen Grimshaw actress.
The soap star then asked: "Why did that crucify you? Why did that have such an impact?"
Seann admitted: "To be totally honest with you, my poor ex, my girlfriend at the time, posted a statement. My girlfriend [at the time] posted a statement and that was the end of me."
Just a few days after the pictures of the comedian and Katya kissing outside a London pub emerged, Rebecca dumped Seann in spectacular fashion with a damning public statement.
She revealed that she had long suspected something was going on between the comic and his married partner, and claimed that he'd branded her "nuts" when she raised her concerns with him.
Looking back on the fallout from the scandal, Seann added: "I said sorry. I sat on Jonathan Ross’s TV show and apologised. I sat next to will.i.am and Samuel L. Jackson and apologised. That will forever be the weirdest moment of my life and I have to say probably the worst moment of my life."
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph following her chat with Seann, Sue had a lot of sympathy for her fellow camper.
"He’s a lovely lad. He’s a sensitive soul, very sensitive soul. He’s been through the ringer the last three years. I think he’s really brave and I’m glad he’s here," the actress declared.
