Despite Seann having a girlfriend and Katya being married to fellow Strictly professional Neil Jones, the pair were photographed kissing by the paps, causing absolute outrage with the public.
But now, three-months on from the drama, it looks like Seann is over the situation, as he joked about it all during a recent stand-up show.
Talking about the kiss during a show, Seann said to the audience, "You never think that's going to be you, on the front pages. It was so f------- mental. People dressed up as me for Halloween. My life got so bizarre."
In a video obtained by Mail Online, Seann can be heard saying, "I was on Strictly Come Dancing, which is a very well-respected dance competition. Then there's this thing called the 'Strictly Curse' where what happens is, I hate this term, the celebrities, I'm not, I wasn't... now that is probably and unfortunately all I am.
"I've got some advice for you, if you're going to cheat, do it indoors!"

It's very hard to have a baby if you think about it.
"I would love to carry on doing my job for as long as I can, but I understand there's never a right moment for a baby. You've just got to go for it. Neil and I talk about it a lot."
