ITV bosses hope jungle life will give Seann, 36, 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.”
Seann is set to join pop star Boy George, comic Babatunde Aleshe and Love Island’s Olivia Attwood in the forthcoming series.
ITV said: “We’ll announce our line-up nearer transmission.”
The Sun revealed how Seann and Katya, 33, hooked up after a boozy session in a pub during the show in October 2018.
Photos showed them snogging in the street and they later had to appear on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two to talk about what happened.
They were voted off Strictly three weeks after their romance was made public.
Months later, Katya ended her marriage to fellow Strictly pro Neil Jones, 40.
Seann was dumped publicly by actress Rebecca Humphries.
