Speaking of their dance routines on Strictly, Seann quipped: “The buzz, it was like ejaculating.”

The comedian then reportedly said kissing Katya was like snogging a “gay man’s wife”.

As an audience member shouted out that Seann was a “[expletive] legend” for kissing the married dancer, Seann allegedly replied: “Where were you ten months ago? I [expletive] needed you.”

Ent Daily has contacted reps for Seann for comment.
