‘He got himself in a pickle, then it’s uncomfortable for anyone the first meeting, you don’t really know what to say.
‘I can’t think of anything worse than getting embroiled in something like that. That’s not for me.’

MailOnline has approached Seann Walsh’s representatives for further comment.
Graeme also happily divulged to the publication that he had ‘changed shape quite a bit’ because his dance partner Oti Mabuse makes him practice 10 hours a day.
The cricketer confessed his wife Sarah had gifted him a pair of trainers early on as she didn’t want him appearing on the TV while he was ‘chubby’.

The latest development on Seann and Katya’s Strictly ‘snog-gate’ comes after the revelation they are planning a smouldering routine for the Halloween special.
But rehearsals for Seann and Katya’s Viennese Waltz aren’t exactly going to plan as the comedian shared footage of a nasty tumble he took during a gruelling practice session.
The couple are hoping to impress the public and judges with their routine to love song I Put A Spell On You after finding themselves in the bottom two last week.

Seann shared footage of the rehearsal on his Instagram stories, with the funnyman appearing to get dizzy during the dance’s famously tricky twirls, stumbling as he tries to step up onto a small platform, before the prop collapses beneath him.
Katya is seen standing over her dance partner as he lies in a heap on the floor.
‘Following Darcey’s advice, this week’s goal was to be less clumsy,’ Seann captioned the video, before quipping ‘Typical,’ after the clip.

The pair were saved by judges following a dramatic dance-off against Vick Hope and Graziano Di Prima on Sunday’s edition of Strictly Come Dancing.
They were recently met with backlash as they were pictured passionately kissing on a night out, despite them both being in serious relationships at the time.

The pair’s upcoming performance dispels claims of producers’ attempts to avoid assigning the pair with a racy dance, as they’re set to take to the stage to the lyrics: ‘I love you, I don’t care if you don’t want me, I’m yours right now.’
The Viennese Waltz is a genre of ballroom which sees two people spin around the dancefloor, and is commonly recognised as one of the more romantic versions of the Waltz.
At the top of the leader board from last week, Danny John-Jules and Amy Dowden will follow up their jive with an American smooth to Spirit In The Sky, while favourites Ashley Roberts and Pasha Kovalev will take on the Charleston.

While BBC producers were accused of ruling out ‘sexy’ dances for the pair in wake of the kiss scandal, Seann and Katya have since performed the Quickstep and Charleston.

Uuuuu spell, Uuuuu spell…..
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine

Stop the things you do
Watch out, Watch out
I ain’t lyin’
I love you
I love you
I love you, yeah…
I don’t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours right now
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
On last week’s edition of Strictly Come Dancing, fans accused the show of using a guitar to keep Seann and Katya apart during their Quickstep routine – gaining just 24 points out of 40.
During a previous performance, the pair wowed the judges with a Matrix-themed Paso Doble during Movie Week.
Many fans were adamant that Seann and Katya would be eliminated after their drunken night out earlier this month.
The highly-publicised scandal with Katya, who is currently married to fellow dancer Neil Jones, led to Seann’s split from former girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.
On Strictly’s sister show It Takes Two, the Russian pro apologised to ‘everyone it hurt and involved’, but said she and husband Neil were ‘absolutely fine’.
This comes after axed contestant Vick, 29, claimed head judge Shirley Ballas ‘relished’ in criticising her and dance partner Graziano, 24, routines in a no holds barred interview on Capital Breakfast on Monday.
The broadcaster was sensationally booted off the BBC ballroom stalwart after head judge Shirley was given the deciding vote and opted to save Seann and Katya for another week.
Since her shock departure, Vick has said that the ballroom expert was to rude to her and claimed that judges; Shirley, Darcy Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood and Alfonso Ribeiro spoke to producers before making their final decision.
Vick then claimed that producers were drafted in to talk to the judges before they gave their final decisions on who to save following the dance-off.

A spokesperson for Strictly Come Dancing told MailOnline: ‘It is categorically untrue to imply that producers tell the judges how to score or who to save.
‘Each judge votes on each dance independently, based on its merits and in their expert opinion alone.
‘The Judges use an electronic voting pad to transmit their score or choice of who to save to the production gallery which is then locked in and cannot be changed.
‘Only after this does a producer speak to the judges, advising them on how long they have to speak and reminding them to give a reason for their decisions. The process was exactly the same this weekend.’
