As the dreaded Strictly curse seems to have struck again, Comedian Seann Walsh and his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones, who is married to Strictly choreographer Neil Jones, have apologised. This comes after Seann and Katya were spotted kissing in public recently, calling it a 'one-off drunken mistake'.

The pair, who are now into their third week of the live show of Strictly Come Dancing, have both issued an apology for their behaviour on Twitter. Seann Walsh, who is in a long-term relationship with Rebecca Humphries has said in his apology, '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.'

Meanwhile, Katya released a separate statement saying, '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.'

The Telegraph is reporting that the BBC have confirmed the couple will continue to take part in the series and it's "very much business as usual".
