Seann Walsh is quitting Twitter after getting sick of trolls constantly slating him, which he said has made his life "absolute hell". Having been told to "die" after his first TV show, Seann said he cannot get the 'echo' of the abuse out of his mind, and so for his own good is quitting the app.

"It's happened. I've become the guy posting from his notes. It started as a tweet but I was rambling. I can only apologise," he tweeted before attaching his statement. "Been off Twitter for around a week. I had to come back on to DM someone. Quickly checked the mentions. This app has contributed to making the last couple of years of my life, absolute hell," it read.
