Comedian Seann Walsh said he left Twitter and that the platform had helped make the last years of his life an “absolute hell.”
The 34-year-old shared a long message with his 109,000 fans explaining his decision.
He remembers being abused online when he was a young comedian after choosing his first TV show, and said comments “resonated” in his brain every few weeks.
Former Strictly contestant Come Dancing made headlines in 2018 when he photographed kissing his married dance partner, Katya Jones, while he was dating himself.
Writing on Twitter, he said, “I haven’t been on Twitter for a week.I had to return the message to someone. Quickly check the mentions.
“This app has helped me turn the last two years into hell.
“When I was twenty-something, even before the term “troll, ” he had a TV show.He’s not smart yet, I’m young and inexperienced.
“However, this has been an exciting moment in my life.But instead, I don’t forget it for someone who tweeted me, “What is @seannwalsh and how do I make him die?”
“I’ll have to hear this echo in my brain every few weeks.I hate this place. It’s toxic.

Walsh also addressed those who had “abused” him on the platform.
He continued: “To all those who have made contact here over the years to tell them that they enjoyed one of my concerts or shows, thank you very much, I’m sorry I didn’t answer them at all.
Now, to all those who have abused me here, even those who have not made me, from the back of my center and with all the power I can, you.Really f ——- ————–
“I probably wouldn’t miss this place, what is it even?In all my life, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about the things other people communicate here in genuine life.Relax and have a cookie.
Since the kissing scandal, Jones and her husband Neil have risen.
However, the couple claimed that the incident was not the cause and that their marriage had more of a friendship than a love story.
Walsh also addressed the incident in recent live shows.
