'Strictly Come Dancing' Fans Bemused As 'It Takes Two' Fails To Address Seann Walsh And Katya Jones Kiss

The fanzine didn't even mention the only thing fans are really talking about.

The kiss between Seann Walsh and Katya Jones is arguably the biggest scandal to ever rock ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, but it was business as usual on spin-off show ‘It Takes Two’ on Monday night.

Fans were left completely bemused after the kiss was not even mentioned during the episode, despite it being splashed on the front of every newspaper, and dominating talk on social media.

Host Zoe Ball didn’t even reference the story, which first broke on Sunday morning, with video footage of Seann and Katya kissing in the street after a night out.

While there had been a number of developments up to the point the show aired - including public apologies from Seann and Katya - the show failed to get to the heart of the only matter fans were really talking about, and it did not go unnoticed...

Instead of criticising the BBC’s false balance, we should be focusing our ire on a real journalistic issue, like the fact that they haven’t mentioned the Seann/Katya snog on It Takes Two yet. DO THEY THINK WE’RE IDIOTS? ADDRESS THE ISSUE ZOE BALL

First avoiding any mention of Seann and Katya, and now J Clifton critiquing her ex sister in law "the professional that she is." What truly wild times to be alive. #scd #itt #ItTakesTwo

Since the show aired, Seann’s long-term girlfriend has broken her silence, issuing a statement that spoke to every woman who has ever been cheated on.

However, it is unlikely Tuesday’s edition of ‘It Takes Two’ will address the issue either, as it is usually pre-recorded on Monday night, straight after that evening’s live episode.

Katya, who is married to fellow pro dancer Neil Jones, and Seann had been booked to appear on the show later this week, but it remains unclear if it will still go ahead.

The pair already pulled out of an appearance on Thursday’s ‘Lorraine’, following the scandal.

Until now, ‘Strictly’ bosses have insisted Katya and Seann will still perform together on Saturday night’s show.

A ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ spokesperson told HuffPost UK there is “no update on the previous position” in light of Rebecca’s statement, while a rep for Seann has yet to respond to multiple requests for comment.

‘It Takes Two’ airs weeknights at 6pm on BBC Two.
