Comedian Seann Walsh was on top of the world following his amazing Matrix-themed routine on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing, that was until photos emerged of Seann kissing his married dance partner Katya Jones, despite him also being in a five-year relationship.

After the photos emerged, a number of rumours suggested that Seann could QUIT the show in order to save his relationship, but it's now been confirmed by Strictly bosses that Seann and Katya WILL continue their journey.

After both Seann and Katya apologised in separate statements, a statement from Strictly bosses was read out live on air by Loose Women presenter Ruth Langsford. She said, "This has just come through. Strictly has confirmed that Seann and Katya will be dancing together this weekend as planned. Nobody is pulling out of the show."

When the photos of Seann and Katya kissing in public emerged on Sunday morning, Katya, who is married to Strictly choreographer Neil Jones, issued a statement on Twitter, apologising for her actions.

She wrote, 'I’m so sorry about any offence or hurt I may have caused with my actions. I wasn’t thinking and it was a one-off mistake after some drinks. I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship.'

Seann, who has been in a relationship with his girlfriend Rebecca Humphries for five years, then wrote, 'I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my actions. This is no excuse but it was a one-off drunken mistake which I am truly sorry for.'

Despite the recent drama, Katya's husband Neil is yet to publicly respond. After watching his wife's performance with Seann on Saturday night, the dancer took to his Instagram account to express his pride.

Sharing a number of photos of the performance, Neil wrote, 'Wow last nights @bbcstrictly movie week was really epic and I’m really proud of @mrs_katjones and @seannwalsh Paso Doble. Great shapes and of course like always the choreography was on point.' sic

Meanwhile, Seann's girlfriend Rebecca, who was at the studio to watch his performance at the weekend, has now unfollowed her beau on social media.

As well as her recent social media activity, Rebecca has also liked and responded to a number of messages from the public.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday and Sunday.
