Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Seann Walsh has reportedly signed up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The comedian, 36, is thought to be heading Down Under for the new series - the first back in Australia since the coronavirus pandemic.

According to The Sun, ITV bosses are hoping Seann will discuss his infamous 2018 snog with his Strictly pro partner Katya Jones, who was married to fellow dancer Neil Jones at the time.

The brief fling resulted in the end of Katya's marriage to Neil the following year and Seann splitting with his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.

A source said: '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.

'Seann has joked about his snog with Katya in his comedy sketches but he's never spoken in detail about their relationship.

'Life in the jungle is boring and those long hours around the campfire would be the perfect time for Seann to get talking.'

The insider added that they believe it is 'unlikely' the other campmates won't bring the kiss up as it's what the comedian is primarily known for.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Seann Walsh and ITV for comment. 

According to reports, Seann will be joining the likes of Olivia Attwood, Babatunde Aleshe and Boy George in the jungle. 

Ant and Dec are set to welcome 12 new famous faces into the Australian camp in November.

In a statement, ITV said: 'Autumn also brings I'm A Celebrity which makes a welcome return to ITV from the Australian jungle.'

The 2021 series saw Danny Miller crowned as King of the Castle, while Giovanna Fletcher was the first person to win the Welsh version of the show the year before.

Following the Strictly kiss incident, Seann's ex Rebecca released an impassioned statement in which she revealed he called her 'psycho' and 'nuts' for questioning his friendship with Katya, who he kissed on Rebecca's birthday - before the photos were made public.
