Strictly Star Wynne Evans Caught in Scandalous Joke Days Before New BBC Show Launch!

BBG News

The celebrity from Strictly Come Dancing, Wynne Evans, has spoken out following accusations that he made an inappropriate and offensive comment regarding one of the show’s female presenters.

The well-known opera singer, recognized from his advertisements on Go Compare and his radio program on BBC Radio Wales, was spotted exiting a hotel in Glasgow, as he’s temporarily residing there for the live tour performances of Strictly Come Dancing.

In a navy coat and denim jeans, a man of 52 years old emerged into the bustling city center, wearing a frown due to handling the aftermath of yet another scandal involving unscrupulous behavior.

As a loyal follower, I’ve learned from reliable sources that despite recent controversies surrounding him, Evans is maintaining his position following allegations of an offensive sexual remark made during a promotional event for the Strictly live tour in Birmingham earlier this month.

Recently, in a shocking turn of events involving Evans and the BBC, the Welsh vocalist was secretly filmed by The Mail On Sunday proposing a rather explicit threesome involving presenter Janette Manrara, employing a highly disrespectful term “three-way” or “spit roast.

Following the allegations against him for inappropriately touching his dance partner Katya Jones, 35, during live broadcasts last October, it’s worth noting that they both claimed it was a joke that had been misconstrued.

In just a few short weeks, the host of the daily BBC Radio Wales program, who takes the stage at 9am each day, found himself entangled once more in uproarious debate. This time, it was due to an off-color joke he made concerning his double chin resembling a female intimate area, directed towards a makeup artist.

The Corporation, where Evans works, has criticized him for his inappropriate conduct, which has recently come to light before the premiere of his upcoming BBC show with Joanna Page, a famous actress from Gavin & Stacey, on Monday evening.

Recently, a humorous remark made by Evans about a “barbecue” has caused more uproar for the show Strictly Come Dancing, which experienced significant turbulence due to the Amanda Abbington and Giovanni Pernice scandal of last year.

Following three instances of mistakes within a short period, branding and cultural expert Nick Ede advised TopMob: “The BBC needs to handle Wynne delicately because his questionable and inappropriate comments are starting to overshadow his popularity. The BBC is unlikely to tolerate this behavior any longer.

‘He intends to keep his post, but everyone will be watching him closely. If he takes another wrong step, the BBC might find it necessary to cut ties with him.’

In a recent turn of events, Evans made headlines following his bold remarks, as he was seen posing alongside Ms. Manrara, aged 41, a skilled dancer spearheading the live event, and Jamie Borthwick, a 30-year-old actor known for his roles in EastEnders.

In the video, it’s not entirely certain how Ms. Manrara reacts since she’s briefly hidden behind other contestants from Strictly. However, Borthwick seems to flinch, while Evans chuckles to himself.

On Saturday, Evans withdrew from his Glasgow appearance on the Strictly tour due to an ankle injury; however, he still performed. In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, he expressed regret for using inappropriate language, saying, “I offer my heartfelt apologies for my choice of words, which were unacceptable.

A representative from BBC Studios and the organizers of the Strictly Live tour stated: “We didn’t know about the comment beforehand and no one complained. We’ve informed Wynne that such actions are unacceptable during the tour, and we do not condone this behavior.

Under increasing scrutiny, a representative for BBC Wales stated this morning to TopMob: “We stand behind the statement issued by BBC Studios. We have zero-tolerance for inappropriate conduct.

Following the release of that captivating footage by the Mail, I, being an ardent fan, couldn’t resist but eagerly await Evans’ response. And true to form, he didn’t disappoint! Just hours later, a tantalizing trailer for his upcoming BBC show, Wynne and Joanna: All At Sea, graced my Instagram feed, further fueling my excitement!

The show will follow him and Joanna Page set sail to explore the coast of South Wales.

As the proud recipient of the Celebrity Masterchef title, I shared with my valued followers an update via Instagram last evening: ‘My ankle is showing signs of improvement, and I was thrilled to serenade the audience in Glasgow tonight, despite being unable to dance. Fingers crossed for a return tomorrow.’

I’ll keep you updated on it tomorrow after checking on the swelling. Thanks for all your heartwarming messages, they’re truly wonderful!

In response to the recent event, Mr Ede stated: ‘The BBC understands that when it comes to Strictly, everyone is watching closely. Although the show isn’t currently airing, the live tour serves as a significant event for them, maintaining the appeal of the format and making people across the country feel like they are part of the Strictly community.’

The spotlight has been primarily on the behavior of the professional dancers, but now it’s Welsh celebrity Wynne Evans who finds himself under scrutiny. His controversial antics stem from his on-screen romance with Katya, as well as his dad jokes that have fallen flat.

Monitoring talent and shows consistently can be quite challenging for organizations like the BBC, as demonstrated by the recent event where Wynne made an inappropriate “dad joke” towards host Janette.

Previously, such incidents might have been dismissed as simple nervousness or playful banter, but given the intense scrutiny the show receives for even minor misbehavior, the BBC felt compelled to issue a prompt statement to prevent the situation from worsening and potentially harming their reputation in any way.

Mr. Ede cautioned that although Evans is a much-loved celebrity and a frequent favorite on the BBC, it’s likely he will face some form of disciplinary action, as they aim to avoid any additional complaints or legal issues, before the upcoming season of Strictly.

Recently, an occurrence was recorded both visually and audibly by a reporter from The Mail on Sunday during the official kickoff of this year’s tour at the Birmingham Arena, which took place ten days ago. This fresh incident adds to the discomfort faced by the BBC following a series of scandals.

Under the most unfortunate circumstances, it came to light that news anchor Huw Edwards was found guilty of viewing explicit content involving minors, some as young as seven years old.

In the wake of accusations concerning inappropriate sexual behavior, Gregg Wallace eventually had to part ways with MasterChef. Similarly, the beloved family-friendly show Strictly encountered its own share of scandals.

In a lively gathering of 20 celebrities and dancers, I find myself amidst the crowd, much like a lifestyle aficionado at a social soirée. Suddenly, the charming hostess of Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, Ms Manrara, is called over. As she gracefully makes her way towards us, I offer a friendly grin and caution her, “Don’t get too close to Jamie!

Afterwards, he subtly contorts his face in a hinting manner towards the actor, while Ms. Manrara isn’t looking, as she navigates between them. This is when Evans decides to crack his offensive joke about her, at her back.

Moments afterward, her dance-partner husband Aljaz Skorjanec, who was close by, inquired tenderly: “Sweetheart, are you alright?” To which she responded briefly: “Yes.

Ms. Manrara’s representative stated that the host was not aware of the remark made by Wynne, as it was clearly heard by our reporter who was recording from a distance of approximately 20 yards using a mobile phone.

Beyond his stint on Strictly the previous year, Evans, a father of two, emerged victorious in Celebrity MasterChef in 2023. Starting tomorrow evening, you can catch him on BBC1 in his fresh travel show titled All At Sea, co-starring Joanna Page from Gavin and Stacey.

The revelation that he made his “spit-roast” comment at a public media event will likely enrage the executives of the Corporation who are already working hard to restore Strictly’s reputation, which has been tarnished by bullying allegations and junior staff’s accusations of a harmful behind-the-scenes environment.

2023 saw actress Amanda Abbington voice concerns just three days into their dance rehearsals with partner Giovanni Pernice.

Approximately a year after the incident, the BBC issued an apology to her, acknowledging her allegations of verbal abuse and harassment, yet exonerating Pernice from charges of physical violence.

In a shocking turn of events, I found myself at the heart of a storm when footage from behind-the-scenes rehearsals revealed me angrily kicking Love Island sensation, Zara McDermott. The repercussions were swift and severe; I was unceremoniously let go from my position.

Previously, Evans charmed countless Strictly viewers with his cheerfulness and persistence in mastering dancing. However, he encountered criticism following an incident where viewers noticed an uncomfortable expression on Miss Jones while she appeared to forcefully pull away his hand that seemed to wander towards her waist during a backstage moment captured by cameras.

Later on, Evans attempted to slap a friendly five with his companion, yet she responded with a disapproving glance, a sigh accompanied by an eyeroll, and walked off dismissively.

After that, Evans wanted to share a congratulatory high-five with his mate, but she retorted with a sharp glare, let out an annoyed sigh, and walked away disdainfully.

Trying to calm things down, Evans and Ms. Jones explained that they were merely “playing around” and what happened was just a “silly, inside joke.”

To deescalate the argument, Evans and Ms. Jones clarified that their actions were nothing more than “a playful prank” and it was simply an “innocent, private joke.

However, two weeks subsequent, the Welsh tenor’s humor stirred up more debate as he jokingly commented to a makeup artist about the resemblance between the creases of his double chin and a female genitalia.

It seems that Evans claimed his remark was aimed at poking fun at himself, didn’t intend to offend anyone, and was shared during a private discussion among at least two people present. It remains uncertain if a grievance was lodged or if an inquiry into the matter took place.

A week following the “spit-roasting” remark, Evans made an appearance on The One Show to discuss the playful banter during the tour. He explained: “It’s all in good fun… Craig [Revel Horwood] phoned me yesterday, he jokingly labeled me as stompy and flat-footed.

I commented, ‘That record of yours sounds quite dull to me.’ There’s definitely a playful tone in our conversation.

Yesterday, he handed me a two (a fiver), but due to my slight rudeness towards his album, I felt extremely disappointed.

In 2016, when Evans and his wife of 17 years, Tanwen, chose to part ways, he was diagnosed with clinical depression, leading to a significant increase in his weight to approximately 22 stones.

I’m currently in a relationship with the vibrant and energetic Liz Brookes, a 50-year-old events manager who also happens to be a dedicated fitness enthusiast. It’s her passion for wellness that I believe played a significant role in my remarkable seven-stone weight loss journey.
