Emily Atack urges I’m A Celeb viewers to vote to keep former flame Seann Walsh in the jungle

Emily Atack insisted I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! viewers to vote to keep her former flame Seann Walsh in the jungle.

The Inbetweeners actress, 32, took to her Instagram story Friday night ahead of the first public vote to say he was a “f***ing good man.”

Emily dated the comedian, 36, in 2016 – who is now in a relationship with pregnant Grace Adderley – and the pair have remained close following their split.

At the time, they were said to have enjoyed a “series of dates” after clicking the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Seann has previously said that his main motive for going on the ITV reality show was to restore his reputation after his famous Strictly kissing with Katya Jones.

To show her support, Emily posted a photo of Seann bulging his cheeks to her story with the caption, “Seann – one of my best friends. I tell you he is a good man. Keep him in.’

And Emily’s wish came true, as Loose Women star Charlene White was the first to boot from the show on Friday night, not Seann.

In October 2018, it was claimed that Seann and Emily enjoyed a ‘series of dates’ after they clicked at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

British comedian Seann – who came under fire for kissing his Strictly co-star Katya – was dating ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries at the time.

Emily was said to be keen to “put the whole chatter behind” after an intimate photo of them in bed together surfaced online.

An insider told The Sun at the time: ‘Emily is mortified that this photo has come out. She wanted to put the whole thing behind her and forget it.”

The source further explained that the I’m A Celebrity star now “regrets using her camera in the bedroom” after the “personal image” was leaked.

“At the time, she and Seann were totally entwined. But she’s over it now,” the insider added.

The pair became “completely entwined” and had “secret contacts in pubs and hotels” at the time of their rumored fling, sources said last year.

Emily reportedly told friends she was ‘in love with Seann’, who she first met on the E4 show Virtually Famous in 2014 before reconnecting in Edinburgh where their ‘friendship took off’.

“They clicked well there,” a source told The Sun. “She liked that he was a little older and more experienced than she was, so he seemed like a man of the world.”

Sources added that Seann was “extremely evasive” when asked about his relationships and “Emily thought he was single.”

The pair were also linked after Seann’s kiss with Katya, when pictures emerged of the star putting on a cozy display with actress Emily at a London pub.

Seann and Emily were photographed flirting and holding hands while enjoying a drink in December 2016 – four months after their trip to Edinburgh.

A source told MailOnline: ‘I was in a pub in central London and saw him flirting with Emily. I knew he had a girlfriend so I thought it was a bit out of order because they were getting really close.”

Meanwhile, Seann’s pregnant girlfriend, Grace Adderley, was photographed arriving in Brisbane on Thursday ahead of the first I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! clearance on Friday night.

She’s flown out to the countryside to greet her beau when he leaves the show sometime in the next few weeks.

Grace seemed happy to be back in the same country as her boyfriend as she walked through the arrivals hall with a big smile on her face.

Little is known about Seann’s latest girlfriend Grace and the story behind their relationship.

They have been dating since 2019 – but now their relationship is taking it to the next level by becoming a family.

Speaking to a friend on an Instagram Live stream while on tour in Stamford, Lincolnshire last month, Seann said, “I’m having a child.”

Seann was then asked by the friend, “So you’re going to be a father?” to which he replied “yes” – and the unnamed man replied, “That’s concerning.”

Seann added: ‘Incredible. Everyone else has been very nice, that’s the worst response so far.’

His friend then said, “You’re going to have a lot more worries.” English comedian Seann then quipped, “That’s really all I need in life, I don’t think I’ve had enough worries.”

His comment may be referring to his tumultuous relationship history that has played out in the public domain, namely his scandalous lovemaking with Strictly partner Katya.
