Strictly Come Dancing stars Katya Jones and Seann Walsh have reportedly become “isolated” after “causing a divide in the cast” after they were pictured kissing on a boozy night out.

Walsh and Jones hit the headlines earlier this month after they were snapped sharing a passionate embrace despite both being in long-term relationships. Walsh’s has since ended.

Despite facing calls from fans for them to quit the show, the pair returned to the dancefloor last weekend to perform a Charleston to Lunchmoney Lewis hit Bills, surprising viewers when they were voted through to week five .

And reports claim that other stars of the show would quite like to see the back of the duo pretty soon because the “isolated” pair are creating an “atmosphere” with Walsh “unremorseful”.

A source told The Sun Online: “Katya and Seann on the other hand have become isolated, but Karen Clifton supporting Katya because she was on the receiving end last year.

“Seann's sheer arrogance and cockiness is unforgivable. Katya has been a little more subdued than usual, but he has shown no remorse whatsoever.

"It's the first time there has ever been a divide in the camp, and that it is becoming more marked as the days go on with the feeling being that the sooner they go the sooner everyone else can get back to being 'the Strictly family'.”

The insider added that “everyone” is pretty much “#TeamNeil”, branding him an “all round good egg”.

Standard Online has contacted Strictly Come Dancing for comment.

Walsh’s girlfriend of five years Rebecca Humphries called time on their relationship shortly after the pictures were published, claiming that she had been branded “psycho” for suggesting something was going on between the pair previously.

In a bold Twitter statement, actress Humphries insisted that she is “not a victim” before revealing that she had taken the cat with her after leaving Walsh.

Jones, meanwhile, told Zoe Ball on spin-off show It Takes Two that her marriage to Neil Joneswho does not have a celebrity partner – is “absolutely fine”.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday October 20 at 6.45pm on BBC One.
