Your support makes all the difference.Seann Walsh reportedly expressed his annoyance with his elimination from Strictly Come Dancing this week by shouting “b*******” in front of the audience before storming off.
Walsh was voted off after facing Graeme Swann in the dance-off, making him the fifth celebrity to leave Strictly; as part of the competition’s Halloween weekend, Graeme and Oti performed their Cha Cha to “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, and Seann and Katya performed their Viennese Waltz to “I Put A Spell On You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.
After Walsh reportedly stormed off, judge Craig Revel Horwood is said to have been overheard saying “good riddance to the terrible two”. A source told The Sun: “To say Seann was upset was an understatement. As soon as filming finished he walked off and swore.”
The source also claimed Walsh had been “incredibly unpopular” with the dancer and other celebrity competitors. A representative for Walsh denied the claims.
Walsh’s appearance on the show has arguably been the most controversial in the show’s history, after he was pictured kissing his married dancing partner Katya after a week of rehearsals earlier this month.
At the time the photos were taken, Walsh was in a relationship with actress Rebecca Humphries. Both Walsh and Katya issued a public apology, referring to the moment as a “mistake”.
Sunday night’s episode was his second time in the dance-off, following last week where he was saved by the judges after competing against radio presenter Vick Hope.
The remaining 10 couples will take to the dancefloor next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 3 November at 7.05pm.
