Seann Walsh tells fans to 'cheat indoors' as he jokes about Katya Jones kiss scandal in stand-up sketch

Strictly Come Dancing star Seann Walsh has turned his kiss scandal with Katya Jones into fresh material for his stand-up show, advising people to “cheat indoors”.

The cheating comedian was the talk of last series after pictures emerged of him kissing married dance partner Jones while in a relationship himself.

But, instead of trying to put it all behind him, Walsh has turned his indiscretions into the butt of jokes for his shows.

In footage obtained by the MailOnline, Walsh told the audience: “You never think you are going to be on the front pages. People dressed up as me for Halloween. It was bizarre.

“I’ve got some advice for you…if you’re going to cheat, do it indoors! F****** hell. It’s incredible how s*** my life is.

“I got so depressed I seriously considered taking my own life... into the jungle!”

He added how he had received a lot of abuse on social media after the snaps surfaced, with “people wishing him dead”.

Walsh said: “They were writing to me going, ‘Why don’t you just f****** die!’. I wanted to say, I didn’t kiss YOUR wife!”

After the pictures were published by The Sun, Walsh’s then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries ended their five-year relationship in a scathing Twitter statement.

Humphries, an actress, wrote that she had previously asked Walsh about his relationship with Jones and claimed that he had called her “nuts” for suggesting anything inappropriate was going on.

She was hailed a “queen” for her statement in which she also detailed taking the cat they shared away from their home.

Jones, who married fellow Strictly professional Neil Jones in 2013, later said that her relationship was “absolutely fine” after being rocked by the scandal.
