The furor around comedian Seann Walsh being photographed snogging his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones appeared to have died down after it happened last month. Seann, who was immediately dumped by his girlfriend Rebecca Humphries, was booted off the show three weeks later.

His partner, Katya, apologised for her actions, and revealed that the kiss had not affected her marriage to fellow Strictly dancer, Neil Jones. However - they're back in the spotlight as a TV source has claimed that Seann will not be "allowed" to take part in next year's Strictly live tour.

It's tradition for the celebrity participants of Strictly to perform on the live tour, but 32-year-old Seann has reportedly been "banned" from taking part because he doesn't "fit in" with the atmosphere, according to the MailOnline.

A source revealed that the Strictly tour is a "really wholesome" and "family-fun" event, adding, "It's all about good, clean fun and we don't think a man who snogs married women in the street fits that image."

Although Katya has affirmed that her marriage to Neil is fine, insiders alleged to the Mirror that cracks are starting to show. After appearing at a Macmillan charity event earlier this week, a source claimed to the publication that the couple looked "very awkward".

"They were avoiding each other whenever they were off-camera," the continued. "Katya seemed like she was a completely different person when she wasn't with Neil. Katya was laughing and joking with all the other pros but whenever she was with Neil she was stone-faced. Neil also seemed reluctant to speak to his wife and was more interested in having fun with the rest of the crew."

This comes after the news that journalist and TV presenter Stacey Dooley had been confirmed for the tour - but would be unable to dance with her series partner Kevin Clifton. Noo!

Strictly Come Dancing continues tomorrow night on BBC One at 7.05pm.
