Wynne Evans to Sue BBC After Strictly Tour Axe Over Controversial Remark

BBG News

As a devoted follower, I find myself preparing to challenge the BBC at a tribunal, due to feelings of betrayal after being dismissed from the Strictly tour, which I perceive as a metaphorical ‘knife in the back’ by my superiors.

53-year-old celebrity from Go Compare apparently feels that his name has unjustifiably been damaged following his apology for a distasteful comment directed towards tour host Janette Manrara. The incident and his remarks became public when video footage of it surfaced at the tour’s press conference launch.

Reports suggest that Wynne, who recently brought on a public relations specialist after being dismissed from the tour, intends to challenge his dismissal, and has been consulting with a group of legal advisors.

According to reports, the star clarified that his “spit-roasting” comment was not directed at Janette. It is also alleged that other celebrities on the tour were cognizant of this fact.

It is believed that top executives at Go Compare, the insurance company Wynne has represented since 2009, may have convened emergency discussions regarding his role with the company, and the artist has temporarily withdrawn from his BBC Wales radio program following the scandal’s outbreak.

According to a source, The Sun was informed that Wynne expressed his intention to take his case to a hearing with the BBC. He vowed to use all his strength and energy in this battle, as he strongly believes he has been mistreated unjustly and won’t back down without a fight.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but notice that Wynne seems to grasp the significance of his remarks, which is quite evident, even to the dismay of many professional dancers and famous personalities who joined him on the tour.

He’s deeply hurt by how things unfolded, as nobody has stood up for him in public despite everything. It was a private joke that didn’t cause offense or complaints. Wynne feels betrayed by the entire situation and some of his colleagues whom he had a strong bond with.

Last month, The Mail On Sunday initially shared the video of Wynne’s “spit-roast” comment, following which the singer was issued a warning regarding his behavior by tour authorities. However, it’s important to note that during that time, the BBC didn’t receive any complaints about this incident.

Wynne’s acquaintance pointed out that since the video of his remark surfaced and led to him being removed from the tour, he believes his dismissal from the performances was a hasty decision prompted by widespread public reaction to the joke.

When The Sun reached out, neither Wynne Evans nor the BBC chose to offer a response. TopMob attempted to get a statement from both parties.

Reports indicated that Wynne had retained legal representation and was contemplating a lawsuit against the BBC, claiming breach of contract and financial losses, following his removal from the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

According to a reliable source, The Sun reported that Wynne has not been well this past week. His brother and business partner have taken care of him during this time.

‘He’s appointed an expensive law firm to take advice on potentially losing his jobs.’

It appears that Wynne’s girlfriend, Liz Brookes, continues to support him following his withdrawal from the live tour, contrary to early speculations suggesting they broke up because of the controversy.

As reported by The Mirror, the 50-year-old events manager has been providing significant support to him during these challenging times.

As a devoted supporter, I can attest that there’s an outpouring of unity for Wynne, with me included in this circle. This challenging period we find ourselves in is indeed extraordinary, yet Wynne remains grateful for the heartfelt affection and backing he is receiving.

Friends of Wynne are reportedly maintaining that his career remains intact, asserting that the “spit-roast” remark he made was merely a schoolboy joke.

Viewers have been expressing disapproval towards the BBC for choosing to broadcast the new program titled “All At Sea,” in which he co-stars alongside Joanna Page from Gavin & Stacey.

Based on what’s being said, it seems that Wynne’s friends are convinced he will survive this current scandal and rebound in his career.

A friend of the star is reportedly shielding him from criticism, attributing the negative response to Wynne’s supposed poor sense of humor.

Rewrite the statement in a natural, easy-to-understand manner: The people told the publication that, at the end of the day, he acted clumsily and made a foolish mistake. But does he deserve such intense dislike?

Yes, indeed, his choice of words – “spit-roast” – was inappropriate and he acknowledges that now. However, what you may not realize is that he has a knack for humor and often seeks to entertain, which sometimes leads him to resort to juvenile antics, much like a schoolboy trying to make his peers laugh.

My buddy remarked, “It’s too soon to discuss his career coming to an end. In truth, his radio program enjoys a great deal of popularity, and he is quite well-liked.

Wynne confirmed his departure from the Strictly live tour in a grovelling statement.

He mentioned that he has arranged a break from his radio program on BBC, the Strictly Live tour, and other public engagements to focus on his personal wellbeing.

I’m truly regretful for any distress I may have unintentionally inflicted with my inappropriate behavior. I intend to use this period for introspection and growth.

I’m sorry to those who won’t be able to attend the upcoming shows, and I want to express my gratitude to my touring companions for their tremendous support throughout this journey.

This version maintains the original sentiment while using more conversational language that is easy to understand and flows smoothly.

Dancing pro Katya Jones, who previously partnered with Wynne on Strictly Come Dancing, reshared the message and expressed: “Let’s extend kindness and thoughtfulness towards each other.

Apart from their reported breakup, Katya additionally stopped following Liz on Instagram. In a subsequent Instagram Story post, she expressed that she would miss Wynne.

The Strictly series performance by Katya and Wynne was marked by controversy over an incident involving inappropriate touching, as Katya needed to separate Wynne’s hand from her waist during their dance last October.

It seemed like the dancer rejected Evans’ high-five, but they both clarified that the incident was just a joke that got misconstrued by others.

It’s been reported that Wynne implied a suggestive threesome involving himself, presenter Janette, and a disrespectful term he used was “rotisserie” or “spit-roasting.

In the MoS movie, Wynne positions himself amidst a group of 20 stars and dancers, while Janette, host of Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, is called over. As she makes her way towards them, Wynne playfully advises her with a smile: ‘Keep some distance from Jamie [Borthwick]!’

Afterward, he subtly makes a flirtatious expression toward the actor, while Janette isn’t looking, as she passes by them. At this moment, it’s when Wynne cracks his offensive jest about Janette.

Moments after, Aljaz Skorjanec, her dance partner, checks on her while close by, querying gently, “Sweetheart, are you alright?” To which she responded briskly, “Yes, I am.

According to Janette’s representative, the host was not aware that Wynne made the commented, as our reporter, who was approximately twenty yards away and recording with a mobile phone, clearly heard it.
