I'm A Celebrity star Seann Walsh has opened up about his difficult upbringing, revealing that his father's heroin addiction left him struggling to find structure in his life. The comedian, 36, said the lack of order in his childhood home meant he was never destined to be organised.
Walsh, who was caught up in a scandal after being pictured kissing his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones while both were in relationships, said therapy after the incident helped him realise the root of his issues. He quit drinking following the 2018 scandal and has been working to rebuild his life.
Speaking about his therapy sessions, Walsh said: 'This idea of structure in my life, this was one of the things I had to grapple with... You realise, of course, that came from having a dad who was a heroin addict. If your dad's a heroin addict you're not going to be someone who wakes up in the morning and does a to-do list.'
The comedian, who entered the I'm A Celebrity camp late alongside suspended Tory MP Matt Hancock, also admitted he is 'too lazy' to perform at comedy clubs outside London due to the travel involved. He said he still loves performing at Top Secret Comedy Club in Covent Garden but cannot face hours of driving.
Walsh announced in October that he is expecting his first child with his girlfriend, dance teacher Grace Adderley.
