I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here star opened up about his career post-Strictly, admitting his success plummeted after he kissed his pro dance partner .

Looking back on the Scan**l, Seann told fellow campmate Babatunde Aleshe: ‘Easily the most depressing month of my entire life, Edinburgh after Strictly. We get to Edinburgh, right, I think it’s a 200-seater, I’ve never not in Edinburgh sold out the first night.
