SNOG rat Seann Walsh has rebranded himself as "the country's most hated comedian" on his social media as he launches a tour cashing in on his Strictly shame fame.
The 33-year-old comic, who kissed his dance partner Katya Jones in October, insults her husband Neil in the show, joking that he'd "kissed a gay's man's wife".
And now, he's changed the tagline on his Instagram and his Twitter account to reflect his unpopular status, claiming to be "the country's most hated comedian' on his profile.
Crowds at a south London pub got a taste of the tour last week when Seann said: "Before the show, the newspapers were complaining they didn’t know who I was.
“You know who I am now, motherf******. I’m the guy who kissed a gay man’s wife.”
However, Neil wasn't laughing when The Sun revealed the routine, with the dancer telling friends he is going to confront Seann at rehearsals.
Seann caused controversy by snogging dance partner Katya
The pair are due to come face to face tomorrow when all the Strictly contestants return to prepare for the show's grand finale.
A source told The Sun: “Neil has been telling pals backstage he will confront him and ask him to explain himself.
"He thought the comments were unnecessary so wants to hear what Seann has to say for himself.”
Seann’s jibe came as Neil and Katya, 29, were axed from next year’s live Strictly tour.
BBC bosses had already dumped Seann fearing his fling with Katya would hurt the show’s family image.
An insider revealed: "It’s all about good, clean fun and we don’t think that a man who snogs married women in the street fits that image."
So if you want to see the self-proclaimed "most hated comedian" in the country, you'll have to find him on his own tour.
Called After This One, I'm Going Home, the title appears to reference his then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries' revelation that Seann called to say he was having "one innocent drink" with Katya on the night he cheated on her.
