Seann Walsh lashes out at criticism of his parenting and trolling over Strictly scandal… while Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe blast claims they plug ‘misogynistic clap trap’ on hit podcast

Seann Walsh, Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe were forced to respond to critics following the latest episode of the hit Parenting Hell podcast. 

Last week, Rob and Josh spoke to the funnyman, 37, about life as a parent after welcoming his daughter Wilder with girlfriend Grace Adderley in February. 

During the chat, the trio spoke on webcam with Seann who was wearing a dressing gown and an eye-mask reading ‘F**K Off’, while Grace milled around in the background ready to answer questions he could not answer. 

Many listeners commented on a promotional Instagram post about the episode, claiming the chat promoted: ‘Misogynistic clap trap’ and ‘performed incompetence’, to which they pointed out the episode was meant to be funny. 

As well as the parenting critique, one follower recalled the 2018 scandal, in which he was caught kissing his Strictly co-star Katya Jones despite being in a relationship with Rebecca Humphries, with Seann hitting back at the troll.

Seann and Grace welcomed Wilder in February, after which he took to Instagram to reveal he had fainted during the labour – something he recalled in the chat.

As well as detailing the birth, the star explained that he had not woken up once with his daughter, saying: ‘[I said] she does sleep through the night, we’re really lucky… then Grace overheard me… she said she’s up five times a night’. 

While the discussions were good-natured, followers were infuriated by the content and left a slew of angry comments, to which Seann hit back: ‘Well looking at this was a big mistake. Yikes, was just having a laugh guys…

‘No need to be so personal. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. It was fun to do. Blimey.’

Echoing the statement, Rob wrote: ‘I would like to remind everyone that this is a comedy podcast’, while Josh added: ‘I would like to remind everyone this isn’t twitter, it’s usually very nice on here’. 

Adding to his pals’ comments, Josh replied: ‘And I was about to defend you’, to which Seann shared a series of laughing emojis.

Talk then turned to Strictly – a scandal that has plagued Seann’s career – after he was filmed kissing Katya in the midst of the dancing competition, leading to a very public break-up with Rebecca, who has since written a book about toxic romance.  

The follower recalled the scandal, writing: ‘Caught publicly cheating on his mrs so I’d leave off with the good partner stuff to be fair lad’, leading to Seann replying: ‘you think about it more than I do. Enjoy your w**k’.

An infuriated devotee wrote: ‘What a lot of misogynistic clap trap wrapped up as comedy. This is my favourite pod.. some eps I’ve listened to more than once but …this ep? Nope! ( Rob and Josh have me howling… 

‘Adore them before any one starts.. Allow people to give feedback)

One long winded bizarre response scolded the trio, writing: ‘Everyone here knows this is a comedy podcast which is why we are listening and subscribe. I came for a laugh and sure I got it a few times, as expected…

‘Before berating your audience, could you reasonably take a step back and critically assess why the theme of “performed incompetence” has been picked up? One of the first words mentioned is “incapable”…

‘You have definitely covered or called out this theme (though not explicitly calling it “performed incompetence”) in previous episodes…

‘Listeners are highlighting this aspect, because just laughing off this specific behaviour is not what many are aiming for…

‘I’m sure many of us have seen partners play the joker to evade responsibility whether it is parenting or other tasks (quite usually domestic or menial). Could this be why the episode has elicited such a powerful response?…

‘I think any guest who presented in this way would have garnered a similar response. Calling listeners unkind or hateful is not accurate for the most part…

Oh dear... Talk then turned to Strictly - a scandal that has plagued Seann's career - after he was filmed kissing Katya in the midst of the dancing competition, leading to a very public break-up with Rebecca (Katya and Seann pictured in 2018)

‘You both express strong opinions in this pod, and you give each other feedback on a regular basis. Why is this different?…

‘To now shout down your audience and bring out your blue ticks in the comments, to ensure any one with feedback is suppressed, is a bit much. Please don’t forget you have power, responsibility and a platform to discuss really important themes. Many people are looking to you to see what it looks like to be a dad.

‘Hopefully your PR team can consider this and will help make a thoughtful and respectful response.’

Another critic penned: ‘Listening to Seann Walsh on @parenting_hell podcast – is complete male incompetence and ignorance when it comes to parenting still considered ‘funny’? Sooo many eye rolls’.

Defending the episode, a commented penned: ‘Great ep, Seann is a scatty fella it’s just him he spoke so lovingly about the strength and admiration he had for Grace when in the difficult labour, he was in awe and admiration of the midwife and the way he loves seeing the connection of G&W together unfold ��✌️xx’
