I’m A Celebrity’s Seann Walsh was forced to cancel comedy shows after being sick on a ferry journey, with the comedian sharing an honest health update with fans
Comedy favourite Seann Walsh has been forced to pull out of his show tonight after falling ill on the road – and he’s delivered the news to fans with the kind of brutal honesty only he could muster. The comic, who won over a whole new army of supporters during his stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, took to Instagram with a grim but strangely relatable update about the state of his health.
“I’m sorry to report I am ill again and therefore will not be appearing in Torquay tonight & Exmouth tomorrow,” he wrote, explaining that things had taken a sudden turn for the worse while travelling. “I threw up on the ferry last night and was parked up at Fleet services today unable to drive home. Not ideal to be honest with you.”
He added: “I think I’m probably going to have to go a bit easier next year. Sorry to anyone coming to see me but the line-up is great and you will still have a fantastic time. It’s a very odd line of work when you have to essentially call in sick to the public.”
This comes after Seann and Michelle Tsiakkas have both spoken out about separate frightening incidents they recently experienced in London.
Comedian Seann , who appeared on Strictly in 2018 , described a disturbing moment when a stranger attempted to get into his car while he was stopped at a red light.
Sharing the experience on Instagram , he wrote: “New in the adventures of living in London: today whilst waiting at the lights in my car, a guy walked up to my car, opened the passenger side door and went to get in.” It comes after Seann, 39, had his phone stolen in london before it travelled across the globe .
Of the latest terrifying ordeal, Seann said: “Luckily, the traffic lights had changed and I could drive off. It’s beginning to feel like I’m living in Grand Theft Auto.”
This happened just weeks after Walsh was mugged. At the time, he posted: “My phone was stolen (yes out of my hand and yes, I live in London) a week or so ago and it is now in China if anyone happens to be passing by,” alongside a screenshot showing his phone’s new location.
Meanwhile, professional dancer Michelle Tsiakkas, who joined the Strictly cast in 2022, also shared a troubling experience of being mugged in the capital.
In a video posted to Instagram, she said: “Hi guys, so I wanted to just make this video to let you know something that happened to me the other day in London.
“Now this was a couple of days ago and I’ve just about mentally recovered from that. It was quite traumatising on the day. It wasted my whole day and made me feel awful, scared, helpless and I don’t want the same to happen to you.”
Tsiakkas explained she had been heading to a dentist appointment near Covent Garden when the incident occurred.
She continued: “It was early morning… I whipped out my phone to check the directions. A man on an electric bike came up from behind, swept past me and grabbed my phone.”
“My heart just sank. I tried to reach for it, which made me fall and graze my knee. I screamed, ‘Give me back my phone,’ but he just rode off. He was wearing a mask and moving too fast to identify or follow.”
Tsiakkas said two women nearby helped her afterward, and she thanked them for their kindness during the distressing moment. Meanwhile, Seann competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 where he was partnered with professional dancer Katya Jones.
The comedian’s time on the show was overshadowed by controversy after he was photographed kissing Katya, who was married at the time, during a night out. Despite the drama, the pair continued in the competition for several more weeks before being eliminated. The scandal remains one of the most talked-about moments in the show’s history.
