Wynne Evans, known for his role as a contestant on the popular BBC dance competition Strictly Come Dancing, has recently come under fire for making an inappropriate comment during the live tour. The opera singer, who is also recognized as the face of Go Compare, has issued an apology for his actions.
This incident follows Evans' withdrawal from the live tour due to a foot injury. Last year, he also faced controversy on the dance competition when his partner, Katya Jones, appeared to forcefully remove his hand from her waist and declined his offer of a high five. The pair later brushed it off as a "bad joke" and were eventually eliminated from the competition.
According to sources, Evans was participating in a photo opportunity with presenter and professional dancer Janette Manrara, when he made a crude remark about a three-way involving her and another contestant. This comment reportedly earned him a reprimand from BBC executives, who made it clear that such behavior would not be tolerated.
In a video obtained by The Daily Mail, Evans can be seen posing for a group photo with Manrara and the rest of the Strictly live cast. It was at this point that he is alleged to have made the inappropriate comment, causing EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick to visibly wince.
Mail journalist Dolly Busby, who was present at the event, described the moment as "disgusting" and "abhorrent." She shared that she was appalled on behalf of Manrara and personally offended as a young woman.
Evans has since apologized for his actions, stating that his language was inappropriate and unacceptable. A spokesperson for BBC Studios and the Strictly Live tour producers also addressed the issue, stating that they were not aware of the remark and do not tolerate such behavior on the tour.
This incident comes after Evans was forced to pull out of two live shows this weekend due to his ankle injury. He shared updates on his Instagram story, showing a bruised foot and stating that he would still perform as a singer instead of a dancer. He also expressed hope to be back on stage the following day.
While Evans was unable to dance, he still made an appearance on stage and updated his fans on his recovery. He mentioned that his ankle was getting better and thanked everyone for their support.
