Comic reveals the consequences of THAT kiss

comedySeann Walsh has claimed he was offered £250,000 to star in a porn film after hitting the headlines for snogging Katya Jones while filming Strictly Come Dancing.

Bit the comic said nothing came of it as his dance partner refused the same fee to star with him.

The comedian made his revelation on his new comedy special, Kiss, which he has released for free on YouTube. He said: ‘Television X, The porn channel, remember that? Offered me £250,000 to do a porn film with Katya! But she said no!'

Walsh also spoke about how the encounter, caught by paparazzi, ruined his hopes that his 2018 appearance on Strictly would boost his career, in the same way it had for Susan Calman and Chris Ramsey.

'I was dubbed the most hated comedian in the country. The most hated comedian in the country!,’ he complains. ‘Only I could go on Strictly Come Dancing and come out the most hated comedian in the country. What a fucking cunt.'

'Susan Calman, been on the year before – went on to have her own TV shows. Chris Ramsey, did it the year after – number one podcast in the country. People dressed up as me for Halloween!’

Speaking more about the backlash, he said: 'I had to move into a hotel for two weeks because the reporters were waiting outside my house, rummaging through my bins, they even turned up at my parents' house. My Twitter went batshit. Thousands and thousands of people telling me they hate me.'

Walsh was in a relationship with comedian and actress Rebecca Humphries at the time, while Katya was married. 'Awful, I know. It's awful - I'm sorry. I'm still sorry now,’ he said on the special.

At the time of the incident, Humphries released a statement accusing Walsh of gaslighting her with his denials that there was anything going on with Katya.

Walsh recorded his special at the Bill Murray pub in Islington, London, and invites donations via Ko-fi from anyone who watches it.
