STRICTLY star Seann Walsh has to play background music during meals because he cannot face hearing people eat.
The comedian, 37, revealed he suffers from misophonia – a disorder where he cannot tolerate the sound of chewing.

His condition got so bad that he is even unable to eat by himself without music to drown out the sound.
Speaking on the My Favourite Takeaway Podcast, he said: “I’ve got a thing called misophonia, a kind of irrational hatred of the sound of people eating.
“If we’re eating somewhere where the music is not on, I have to say, ‘Excuse me, sorry, could you put some music on please?’, which is a very strange request.”
Seann revealed he once had to hop off public transport because somebody was eating crisps – and is now calling for them to be banned on trains.
He added: “Obviously I’ve got views on this. Crisps should be banned on trains, apples banned on trains, mainly crunchy fruit.
“You can have a banana, you can probably have an orange.”
A recent study revealed that up to 18 per cent of Brits suffer from the condition despite most not being aware of it.
