Strictly Come Dancing star announces surprise baby news after keeping pregnancy secret

Seann Walsh Welcomes Second Child with Partner Grace Adderley

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Seann Walsh, is celebrating the joyous arrival of his second child. The comedian shared his elation with followers on Instagram, revealing the birth of his newborn baby with partner Grace Adderley. It appears the couple managed to keep the arrival of their second child discreet until this recent announcement.

Private Pair’s February Arrival

The couple, known for their privacy, welcomed a daughter in February. Walsh marked the occasion on Instagram with an amusing photo featuring his daughter Wylda alongside their new baby, Casper. The caption read: “My first five minutes of being left alone with Wylda and our newborn Casper. S*** just got real.”

Introducing Casper to the World

In a subsequent post, Walsh officially introduced baby Casper, sharing a picture of himself holding the infant while seated on a bench with Wylda. He captioned the image with, “Gonna need a bigger boat,” a playful reference to the iconic Steven Spielberg film, Jaws.

Family Lunch Scene

The heartwarming family moment appeared to be captured during a casual weekend lunch. The scene included half-eaten burgers, crisp packets, and other food items scattered around, even atop Wylda, who playfully seemed to be enjoying placing food on her head.

Comedian’s Recollection of Previous Labour

Known for his quick-witted humour, Walsh had previously surprised fans by openly admitting he fainted during Adderley’s first labour experience.

Humour in Hospital Post-Delivery

This time, he injected humour into the situation by sharing a video from the hospital after the delivery. In the video, he commended the “great” hospital staff and recounted their light-hearted reaction to his prior fainting spell: “I passed out during the birth. Of course, I did. The nurse’s response? ‘Men’. Fair.”

Personal Growth Post-Strictly Scandal

At 38 years old, the comedian has demonstrably matured since his time on Strictly Come Dancing, a period overshadowed by controversy following his publicised kiss with professional dancer Katya Jones.

Relationship with Grace Adderley

Walsh began dating 32-year-old dance instructor Grace Adderley the year following the Strictly incident. He had previously revealed their pregnancy anticipation during an Instagram live session amid his comedy tour, according to reports.

Fatherhood and Career Trajectory

Having first embraced fatherhood after his memorable appearance on “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” in 2022 where he achieved fifth place, Seann Walsh is clearly navigating a more positive life path.
