I'll see you all soon I hope. Good luck to the final three! X. #imaceleb #seannwalsh."

The comedian's followers were quick to send in their congratulations. "You did amazing. I voted to keep you in every day. Wish you could have done cyclone though," wrote one, whilst a second remarked: "Congratulations Sean! You had SUCH a tough time before and we’re vilified by the media, hounded, unnecessarily, which they love to do. So glad you got yourself in there and showed the country what a fab guy you are!
