Former Strictly Come Dancing star Seann Walsh has revealed that he has become a father for the second time, welcoming another child, Casper, with partner Grace Adderley.
The couple had kept Grace’s pregnancy out of the public eye, with the news only being confirmed when the comedian took to his Instagram Stories to share an insight into his life as a father-of-two. The star joked that things hadn’t been going well as his daughter, Wylda, had used a family picnic as an excuse to cover her hair with yoghurt.
Alongside a picture of his newborn, Seann joked: “My first five minutes of being left alone with Wylda and our newborn, Casper. [Expletive] just got real.”

Seann’s parenting journey
Seann and girlfriend Grace, who is a dance teacher and choreographer, first became parents in February 2023 with the arrival of Wylda.
The comedian shared the news with a heartwarming snapshot of his baby daughter swaddled in a fluffy blanket. Alongside the picture, Seann proudly revealed his little tot’s adorable name.

He then joked: “And Grace is better*. Aaaaaaand breathe. *Turns out I could have probably gone to the comedy awards, so I will be having words later.”
Strictly scandal
Seann competed in the 2018 series of Strictly Come Dancing, where he was paired with Katya Jones. However, controversy arose when the pair were pictured sharing a kiss following a night out.
Katya was married to husband Neil Jones at the time, while Seann had been in a long-term relationship with partner Rebecca Humphries, who subsequently split with him following the publication of the photos.

You never think about the extent of the damage that you’re going to do, in a moment of, you know, the mistake that you’ve made.”
Seann gave several interviews in the years after “kiss-gate” and spoke about its impact on his mental health. “I lost a lot personally and job-wise,” he told fellow comedian Richard Herring on his Leicester Square Theatre podcast at the end of 2019.

“You live in this paranoid fear. Sometimes I forget. Before, I was very self-conscious of being out in public when someone catches your eye and you think they recognise you. I’m very paranoid.”
