Former Strictly star Seann Walsh is set to become a dad for the first time.
The comedian, 36, has announced that he will be welcoming a baby with his dance teacher girlfriend Grace Adderley, 30.
Seann and Grace have been dating since 2019, but are now excited to become a family of three.
Talking on an Instagram Live stream with a pal at the weekend, he announced: "I'm having a child."
His friend responded: "So you're gonna be a dad?"
After Seann replied with "yeah", his pal quipped: "That's worrying."
The comedian went on to joke: "Unbelievable. Everyone else has been really nice, that's the worst response yet."
"You're going to have a lot more worries," his friend pointed out.
Seann added: "That's the one thing I need in life actually, I don't think I've had enough worries."
The TV star was embroiled in one of Strictly's biggest ever scandals when he was caught on camera kissing his then-married professional partner Katya Jones in 2018.
Seann was also in a long-term relationship with actress Rebecca Humphries, who he lived with at the time, while Katya was married to fellow Strictly professional dance Neil Jones at the time of the infamous kiss.
Almost a year later, Neil and Katya, 33, announced they were divorcing, but they insisted that the kissing scandal had nothing to do with their decision to end their 11-year relationship. Seann and Rebecca also split after the incident.
The snog looked to have left his career in tatters but he returned to comedy to piece his life back together and has regularly joked about the impact of the incident during his live shows but has never delved into detail.
It has been since reported that Seann is set to take part on this year's I'm A Celebrity.
A source told The Sun: "Seann is an incredible signing for I'm A Celebrity and it’s a real coup for ITV.
"His snog with Katya is the biggest scandal to have ever hit Strictly. People still talk about it.
"Life in the jungle is boring and those long hours around the campfire would be the perfect time for Seann to get talking."
