I’m A Celebrity’s
Emily Atack is set to open up about her fling with disgraced Strictly Come Dancing star
Seann Walsh in the jungle.
The Inbetweeners star, who was revealed to be on the 2018 line-up for the show’s upcoming series, was romantically linked to Seann during his five-year relationship with now ex-girlfriend
Rebecca Humphries as the pair were pictured holding hands in a London pub two years ago. Now a source has revealed that the 28-year-old actress wants to lift the lid on her romance, saying: ‘Emily is aware there’s a huge interest to know what really happened between herself and Seann.
‘She’s keen to set the record straight to viewers and her fellow campmates.’ They added to OK! Online: ‘She really liked Seann at the time and thought they had a genuine connection.’
Last month, Seann was involved in a media storm when he was photographed kissing his Strictly professional dance partner Katya Jones – despite still being in a relationship with Rebecca. At the same time, the old picture of him and Emily resurfaced before it was claimed that he’d wooed Emily on a series of dates which led to her telling people ‘she was in love with him.’ The E4 sitcom star stayed quiet amid the Strictly storm, but hinted on Twitter that the situation had made her stressed, saying: ‘The stress of this pub quiz in Crouch End is more than any stress I’ve had this week.’ Emily has been confirmed to be entering this year’s I’m A Celebrity on Sunday alongside Harry Redknapp, EastEnders’ Rita Simons and late campmate Noel Edmonds and she is currently standing an outsider to win the series with Paddy Power tipping her joint 8/1 alongside James McVey. She’s keen to find love in the jungle, telling ITV bosses in her VT: ‘Put a nice bloke in there for me that I can sit and chat to. ‘Well you know, I’m single, it might be fun.’ The bookies have listed EastEnders star Rita Simons and Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer as outsiders at 12/1 to win, while John Barrowman and The Chase’s Anne Hegerty are early favourites.
