FROM BAD TO CURSE

A Strictly source said: “Everyone on set’s been discussing how close they’d become. It did not go unnoticed by Anthony.”
The couple, who briefly took a break earlier this year after struggling with the long distance between them decided to end things after 10 months of dating.
Their split came just days after Seann Walsh was spotted kissing his married dance partner Katya Jones.
A source said: “They are quite a fiery pair and have been clashing a bit more than often lately.

“A couple of weeks ago they just decided enough was enough and ended things. It was only a few days after the Katya and Seann pictures emerged.
“There’s not bad blood between them but it looks like a reconciliation is off the cards this time. Last time they split she was really upset but this time around she doesn’t seem that bothered.
“He’s up north and she’s down south and things just weren’t working any more so they’ve knocked it on the head despite being quite serious.
“She’s having a lot of fun with the show at the moment and is enjoying spending time with her dance partner Joe.”

Anthony, who played Gilly Roach in Hollyoaks before his role as Emmerdale’s Pete Barton, previously told pals he was “smitten” with redhead bombshell Dianne.
The couple were introduced by actress Gemma Atkinson, 33, who is dating pro dancer Gorka Marquez, 27, in December after she worked with Anthony on Emmerdale.
Bosses had hoped to sign Anthony for this year’s series and make them the first real-life couple to dance together but ITV bosses would not let him take part.

The 39-year-old revealed: “You meet together on a Friday when you do your run-through with the band and stuff, and I really enjoyed it because I’m friends with Seann, so I was the first person he saw when he walked in.
"I was there with a stupid grin on my face laughing at him not at what he’d done but at the situation he’d found himself in all week.”

Graeme said he thought Seann would see “the lighter side of it” because of his job as a comic but added: “He didn’t.”
“I said to him ‘I want to see how awkward the first introductions since the incident are going to be’. I thought he’d find the funny side. He just looked at me and said ‘please don’t mate’ and walked off.”
Swann added: “It was his own fault. You play with fire you’re going to be burnt one day.”
