The 'Strictly Come Dancing' star - who was the first to be knocked out of the competition alongside celebrity partner Susannah Constantine - has spoken out about his fellow pro's behaviour following a scandal when they were pictured kissing earlier this month despite both being in relationships and explained he has "no sympathy" for the contestants.

Appearing on RTE Radio 1's 'The Ryan Tubridy Show', he said: "Not really. I'll tell you one thing, I'm a bit disappointed."

Although the 52-year-old dancer admitted he didn't want to really get involved in the drama, he commented on Seann's apology on 'It Takes Two' when the comedian - whose girlfriend of five years Rebecca Humphries ended their relationship over the incident - said the pair "had a couple of drinks and made a huge mistake".

He added: "I don't know how they're going to resolve it in their relationships but it's their business and they must do that.

"I am disappointed on many levels... listen, don't drink - if that's what happens? Stop."

Seann and Katya have publicly apologised for their kiss, writing the incident off as a "one-off mistake".

Before appearing on 'It Takes Two', Katya - who is married to fellow pro dancer Neil Jones - wrote on Twitter: "I'm so sorry about any offence or hurt I may have caused with my actions. I wasn't thinking and it was a one-off mistake after some drinks. I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship. (sic)
