Rebecca Humphries was left devastated in 2018 when Seann cheated on her with his Strictly dance partner Katya Jones on a boozy night out.
Their relationship ended soon after, and Rebecca underwent therapy to help her with trust issues.
Writing about her former relationship with Seann, whose cheating scandal came to light on Rebecca’s birthday, she coined him as “toxic.”
Rebecca said: “For a brief while, I was one half of the poster couple for toxic love. I hadn’t even known that love shouldn’t look like it did for us, that an insidious loss of joy, opinion and confidence wasn’t what was required of me.
“I just thought relationships took work and compromise, and weren’t always plain sailing, and a whole host of other unhelpful soundbites I had filed away over the years to justify the daily pain.
“Here’s something else about toxicity – once you know about it, you see it everywhere. After I left him, my eyes were open to the toxic messages rammed into pop culture.”
Rebecca continued to write in The Guardian that Seann was a “gaslighter,” adding: “In the two years after the Strictly incident, I worked very hard pulling out of my body the sticky, tar-like residue that gaslighting leaves you with. I met someone new.”
Rebecca, who works as an actress and author, said she had been left “heartbroken.”
She added: “I would never be rid of toxic love – ever – if I didn’t acknowledge that the only thing all the toxic situations in my life had in common was me.”
ITV bosses are hoping comic Seann will finally tell all about his snog with pro partner Katya, 33.
Their shock romance ended the dancer’s marriage and his own five-year relationship.
The comic has never gone into detail about his romance with Katya and ITV bosses hope jungle life will give him the perfect opportunity to finally tell all.
A source said: “Seann is an incredible signing for I’m A Celebrity and it’s a real coup for ITV.
“His snog with Katya is the biggest scandal to have ever hit Strictly. People still talk about it.
“Seann has joked about his snog with Katya in his comedy sketches but he’s never spoken in detail about their relationship.
“Life in the jungle is boring and those long hours around the campfire would be the perfect time for Seann to get talking.
“He can’t shy away from it either as he’s best known for that snog.
“It’s unlikely his campmates won’t bring it up. It won’t be an easy watch for Katya or the people burnt by their romance.”
