As she approaches, Wynne warns her with a grin: ‘Not too close to Jamie!’
They told the publication: ‘Although she loyally stood by him in public, Liz was humiliated by what happened when he was on Strictly. Huw my darling I will miss you so much and am so glad I got to have you with me all my life.’ My big brother was my hero and my inspiration.
Despite his tumultous time on Strictly, Liz supported Wynne throughout his time on the show and was often spotted cheering him on from the audience and sharing a sweet snap of them together, where she gushed she was ‘proud’ of him.
Dr Charlotte Proudman, founder of Right to Equality, told the Mail: ‘Welcoming Wynne Evans back into the workplace alongside the woman he objectified suggests sexualised comments about women carry no real consequences.
She just assumed it was all part of his charm. It’s very ungentlemanly, I would say, and totally inappropriate…
We have made it very clear to Wynne that we do not tolerate such behaviour on the tour.’ A spokesman for BBC Studios and the Strictly Live tour producers said at the time: ‘We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints.
Whoever runs their old white man department needs a gentle chat’, Everyone hates the go compare ads but bbc seem determined to make him a thing.
His charisma and humour have brought joy to countless people. She always knew he was a bit old school, and actually liked the fact he seemed rough round the edges.
I definitely would be dropping him from the show.’ Laura Anne Goldie, 44, from Glasgow told the Mail: ‘It’ll make me feel completely different watching him this evening.
Apologies to those I won’t get to see at the remaining performances and I’m grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.’
He was expected to present his show on Monday morning, but in a statement, BBC Wales said that comedian Robin Morgan, who has covered for him in the past, will be presenting in his place while he takes some time off.
In the MoS film Evans stands in the middle of a line-up of 20 celebrities and dancers as Janette, who hosts the TV spin-off Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, is summoned to join them.
Mark, a children’s book author and baritone performer, added: ‘Wynne has a heart of gold and the courage of a lion, paired with a talent that outshines most. @BBCRadioWales @BBCTV.’
‘I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. Angry viewers wrote on X during his show: ‘Why are we being forced to endure Wynne Evans?
The incident was captured on video and audio by a Mail on Sunday reporter at the official launch of this year’s tour at the Birmingham Arena ten days ago, and brings new embarrassment to the BBC after a string of scandals.
It came after his appearance on the tour was thrown into doubt, when he was caught on film by The Mail on Sunday making a vile sexual comment about It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara during a photocall to launch the tour.
After the divorce he was forced to leave the family home he shared with their kids daughter Ismay, and son, bamboozle Taliesin – moving into a ‘sad’ derelict house with boarded up windows in Cardiff as that was all he could afford at the time.
‘It was very difficult for Liz, but she continued to back him throughout the rest of the contest, often being seen in the audience enthusiastically applauding him right up to him being knocked out in Blackpool week in November.
That his ‘spit-roast’ comment was made at a media event will infuriate Corporation bosses still struggling to repair Strictly’s tainted image following bullying complaints and junior staff’s claims of a ‘toxic’ behind-the-scenes culture.
The BBC have come under fire in recent days to take action after Wynne was caught on camera crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, 41, using the hugely demeaning term ‘spit roast’.
Wynne wrote: ‘I’m so sad to say that my gorgeous eldest brother has passed away.
