Strictly star Shayne Ward was previously left “embarrassed” after an X-rated tape of him was allegedly leaked online.
In 2016, a video of the actor, 39, best known for winning The X Factor and his Coronation Street stint, was released online, reportedly showing him pleasuring himself.
As a result, the shock video of Shayne – who is back on screens today (October 19) for Strictly Come Dancing – was said to have left him “hugely red-faced”.
Strictly star Shayne Ward had X-rated video leaked
The Sun claimed back in 2016 that a “years old” video of Shayne was leaked online. In the clip, Shayne can allegedly be seen pleasuring himself while speaking to a woman.
The video was reportedly made during his time on the War of the Worlds tour when he was single. Pictures and gifs of the video circulated online at the time, it was reported. It’s not known who recorded it, but a deleted Twitter account was said to be offering copies of the video for sale.
A source told The Sun in 2016: “This video is years old. Shayne was single at the time and it happened when he was on tour with War of the Worlds.”
The insider then went on: “He’s so embarrassed this has happened. The conversation between him and the supposed woman have left him hugely red-faced. He can’t believe anyone would do this. He thought it was a private chat and a one-off and only realised he had been catfished after the video emerged.”
Shayne’s reps had no comment at the time of the alleged leak.
Shayne Ward on Strictly
At the moment, Shayne is taking part in this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing. He is partnered with Nancy Xu.
During last weekend’s show on Saturday night (October 12), the pair performed a cha cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) by Sub Sub featuring Melanie Williams.
However, during the results show on Sunday (October 13) Shayne and Nancy ended up in the bottom two. The pair had to perform against Nick Knowles and Luba Mushtuk.
After their routines, the judges decided to send Nick and Luba home, meaning Shayne managed to make it through.
