Wynne Evans submits evidence to clear name in Strictly ‘slur’ scandal

BBG News

Friends of the popular Strictly Come Dancing star, Wynne Evans, have handed over a collection of proof to the BBC, which they claim exonerates him from accusations involving inappropriate behavior.

In January, The Mail On Sunday revealed that a 53-year-old individual made an offensive sexual remark about Strictly Come Dancing host Janette Manrara during a promotional event for the upcoming Strictly Live Tour.

However, it’s now been claimed that Wynne has presented evidence, which his friends assert, clears him of allegations related to making an inappropriate remark.

Over the last several months, Wynne has faced extremely tough times, as his reputation has been severely tarnished, according to one of his friends who spoke with The Sun. This friend stated that Wynne believes he was abandoned and forced to fight for himself after being unfairly attacked.

The paper suggests that Wynne’s document asserts a significantly distinct background or setting for the comment directed at Janette, rather than using the exact phrase ‘a very different context’.

Wynne’s legal team has additionally presented arguments stating that the BBC prevented Wynne and his Strictly dance partner, Katya Jones, from sharing a video about the “groping gate” incident during the show’s run.

In a rough manner, Wynne proposed a threesome involving Janette, using a highly disrespectful and derogatory phrase “three-way roast.

Despite no formal complaint from Janette, the singer still issued an apology for his offensive comment once video evidence from Mail On Sunday became public.

According to recent reports, Wynne is asserting that his “spitroast” comment was misunderstood. An anonymous source told The Sun: ‘Wynne’s team have forwarded the video clip to a digital forensics expert who has found a word that had not been noticed before. They believe this new discovery alters the entire situation.’

In this instance, it’s clear that he is directly addressing Jamie Borthwick when he says, “old spitroast boy.” The use of “old” and “boy” makes it evident that he was not implying a crude comment about Janette, as previously assumed.

It seems this statement is suggesting that the pose being referred to resembles Jamie lifting his legs overhead and adopting a position reminiscent of a roasted chicken.

It’s said that, along with messages of support, Wynne has received them from Strictly dance partners like Janette and her spouse Aljaz Skorjanec.

In my professional opinion as a lifestyle guide, it’s been reported that the file at hand may contain proof that I was prevented from sharing a video with the public, alongside my dance partner Katya Jones, during the series. This video would have shed light on yet another controversy we encountered while participating in the program.

During his stint on the live television program, Wynne faced scrutiny as viewers noticed him placing his hands around Katya’s waist, which she subsequently pushed away.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: Immediately after the incident, my understanding is that the pair chose to create a video clarifying their apparently premeditated prank and expressing sincere apologies. However, according to sources, BBC executives declined to allow Wynne to share the video online.

Lawyers are said to have prepared a 30-page document that they plan to bring to negotiations, in an effort to help him maintain his cherished radio position amidst disputes.

At the end of this month, it’s rumored that Wynne may receive a conclusive decision regarding the continuation of his BBC Radio Wales program. He had taken a step back from the show about two months ago.

In response to the MoS asking about his return, the BBC mentioned his January apology for using language deemed as inappropriate and unacceptable.

The main character from the Go Compare commercials is said to feel that his name has been unjustifiably damaged, or left in a shambles, following his apology for the offensive comment directed towards the tour host, Janette.

In the MoS film, Wynne finds himself surrounded by 20 celebrities and dancers, and it’s Janette from Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two who is called over to join them. As she makes her way towards them, Wynne, with a grin, cautions her: “Keep your distance from Jamie [Borthwick]!

Later, he subtly makes a flirtatious expression towards the actor, while Janette isn’t looking, as she steps past them. And it was right then when Wynne cracked his joke.

Moments after, my dance partner and loving husband, Aljaz Skorjanec, glanced over and inquired tenderly, “Sweetheart, are you alright?” To which I responded briefly, “Yes.

Janette’s representative stated that the host was not aware of the remark made by Wynne, as it was clearly heard by the reporter who recorded it from a distance of about 20 yards using their mobile phone.

TopMob have commented representatives for Wynne and the BBC for comment.
