Joanna Page and Wynne Evans spark feud rumours as lifelong friends who once boasted about their closeness unfollow each other on social media after their BBC show was axed amid his Strictly scandals

by

As a big fan of the show, I was really sad to hear it was cancelled, but now it seems things are getting even more dramatic! It looks like Joanna Page and Wynne Evans might be feuding – they’ve unfollowed each other on social media, and it’s got everyone talking. It’s a shame if they’re not on good terms after working together for so long.

These two friends, who used to be very close and often talked about their strong bond, now seem to have stopped communicating with each other.

Joanna, age 48, has stopped following 53-year-old Wynne on Instagram. Wynne has also unfollowed Joanna.

The Gavin & Stacey actress has completely removed all mentions of her co-host from her social media profile this year, even though they recently co-hosted a popular show together on BBC One.

They hosted ‘All At Sea,’ a travel show where they explored Wales by boat.

The program was made before Wynne appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and faced cancellation soon after news broke that the BBC wouldn’t be renewing his annual contract.

Earlier this year, Joanna publicly thanked everyone involved with the show but noticeably left out Wynne, seemingly trying to separate herself from him.

He appears in a photo with the celebrity, both wearing wetsuits as they enter the chilly water for the program. However, Wynne isn’t looking at the camera and wasn’t identified in the social media post.

Wynne and Joanna last appeared together on his social media profile in March, sharing a photo with big smiles.

Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both Joanna and Wynne for comment. 

Joanna recently complimented Mark Wynne, describing their connection to the BBC as a classic, genuine friendship. She explained that they share a great sense of humor and constantly make each other laugh.

We’re completely honest with each other – I always tell him exactly what’s on my mind. We playfully tease each other, but we genuinely love each other very much, and he has an incredible sense of humor that always makes me laugh.

Wynne explained that their friendship works so well because they genuinely enjoy each other’s company and don’t get on each other’s nerves. They playfully tease each other all day long, and Wynne believes that laughter is the key to their strong bond.

‘Really, we laugh all the time – nobody makes me laugh like Jo does.’

Okay, so this is a bit of a tricky one! There’s a video circulating, originally published by the Daily Mail, that *appears* to show me making a rather suggestive comment – it honestly looks like I was jokingly proposing a three-way scenario with a member of the *Strictly Come Dancing* team, Janette Manrara. Let me be clear, it was a lighthearted moment and definitely not a serious offer! It’s amazing how things can be taken out of context, isn’t it? I just want to address it and move on – it’s all a bit of fun, really.

The remark was made during a publicity event for the Strictly Come Dancing live tour and quickly drew criticism from BBC executives, who stated they would not accept that kind of conduct.

Wynne initially apologized, but later said he was pressured into doing so and that his comment wasn’t meant to be sexual. He explained he’d been calling fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick ‘spit roast’ as a playful nickname.

I was really disappointed to hear that the BBC decided not to renew Wynne’s contract. Apparently, they investigated some concerns about his conduct, and ultimately, that meant the end of his radio show. It’s a shame, as I was a regular listener!

Last month, Wynne said he would ‘regret’ the incident for ‘the rest of my life’. 

Speaking on LBC radio with Nick Ferrari, the former star admitted he was wrong to use the word and acknowledged he should take responsibility. He also said he wasn’t prepared for the backlash and regrets his actions.

‘I wouldn’t blame anybody other than myself.

I fully accept responsibility for my mistake, and I deeply regret it. It’s something I’ll always be sorry for.

Losing all my work – my singing gigs, TV appearances, and radio show – at 53 was incredibly difficult, but I take full responsibility for what happened.

Joanna is thriving in her work with the BBC, and they recently gave her another show to host, demonstrating their confidence in her abilities.

She will host “Shift The Thrift,” a new TV show where contestants compete to find and resell items for a profit in a charity shop setting.

Each of the twelve episodes in the new series will start in a different town across the UK, and Joanna will be joined by two guest experts in each episode.
