There must have been a sigh of relief amongst certain members of the Strictly Come Dancing team when Seann Walsh and Katya Jones were eliminate from the show last weekend.

The pair caused outrage when they were pictured kissing after a few too many drinks, despite the professional dancer being married to Neil Jones and Seann also being in a relationship.

Although Katya and Neil, who have been married for five years, chose to stay together, the choreographer understandably isn't over what happened.

According to reports, Neil was said to be 'relieved' that the the comedian had been booted off and even compared him to a scab.

Lovely.

A show source told The Sun, "Neil has been telling pals backstage that it’s only now that Seann has gone he can start to rebuild and recover.

"He likened having him around to when you 'keep taking the top off a scab so it wouldn’t heal' because seeing Seann just constantly reminded him of the kiss."

While Neil and Katya are working through the drama, the same can't be said for Seann's romantic situation.

His then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries swiftly dumped him after the kiss came to light, taking to social media to pen a scathing statement after what happened.

As well as using social media to get her own back with subtle digs at her ex, the actress also performed his Strictly exit song at a Halloween party.

Rebecca sang I Put A Spell On You in front of an audience, changing the lyrics to sing "I've been dead for five and a half years" - the duration of their relationship.
