We all have those films we used to love while we were younger. For some, they just remain as fond memories. For others, they make changes in their lives for the films. This is what happened to I'm A Celeb's Seann Walsh.
Seann, 36, admits that he changed the spelling of his name in honour of Seann William Scott, who played Stifler in the American Pie franchise.
In April 2018, Seann shared a letter sent from his father to his school teacher in 2000, arguing over a confiscated sweater, in which his name was spelled "Sean Walsh"
David Baddiel replied to the tweet: "The second n is an affectation?"
And Seann explained: "At 16, American Pie was my favourite film. Stifler was my favourite character played by Seann William Scott. The extra N was born.
"Do I regret it? Yes."
Regrets or not, Seann has kept that ‘n’ going.
Seann is now about to head into the jungle alongside Matt Hancock, a few days later than the other contestants.
According to a psychologist, Seann will most likely keep his distance from Matt Hancock in a bid to rebuild himself away from his kissing scandal that happened while he was in Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.
Images and a video of Seann and pro dancer Katya Jones were released in October 2018, which showed the pair kissing at a pub in Central London. At the time, the smooch came as a massive shock to everyone, especially as Katya was married to fellow professional Neil Jones, while Seann was in a relationship with then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.
At the time, Seann tweeted: "In light of the story in today’s newspaper I would like to offer my sincere apologies for my actions. This is no excuse but it was a one-off drunken mistake which I am truly sorry for."
The psychologist told OK!: "Enough time has passed – he [Seann] has got the opportunity to say, yeah, 'I was an **s and God, I really did suffer with my mental health afterwards.'"
Hemmings added that people are likely to warm to him as we've "all made mistakes".
She continued: "I think he has a good chance of kind of overcoming this and talk about it and mental health issues, etc. that many of them may have suffered in that time."
"He's got to kind of distance himself from Matt Hancock. He does not want to be associating himself with a man who's also made mistakes," she added.
Speaking on the Take Flight podcast last year, Seann recalled how his kiss with Katya changed his life as he said: "From that point on, my life changed forever.
"The panic attacks came back – big, big panic attacks, and I ended up having what I later found out were Vertigo Seizures.
Seann went on to say that prior to the kiss, he had plenty of professional dreams and aspirations, but then felt like he was "living without hope".
