Wynne Evans' description of his Cardiff home as 'sad and derelict' is challenged by previously unseen photos showing a well-maintained Edwardian villa.
Go Compare and Strictly star Wynne Evans recently found himself embroiled in controversy after making a sexually suggestive remark about Janette Manrara during the Strictly live tour. This incident led to his swift removal from the tour and subsequent replacement on his BBC Radio Wales show. Evans, known for his operatic talents and comedic appearances in the Go Compare adverts, has often shared his personal life with his fans.
In past interviews, he spoke about his divorce in 2015 and the subsequent purchase of a five-bedroom Edwardian villa in Cardiff. He described the house as 'sad and derelict,' claiming it required extensive renovations costing him £500,000 to make it habitable. He even mentioned his children having to sleep in tents during their early visits due to the house's state. However, recently unearthed photographs from RightMove, taken when Evans first purchased the property in 2016, paint a starkly different picture. The images reveal a well-presented house with beautiful rooms and gardens, showcasing original period features in good condition. The house, situated in a leafy area of Cardiff, was listed at over £700,000, significantly exceeding the average property price at the time. The discrepancy between Evans's description and the reality of the property's condition has sparked debate among fans, with some expressing surprise and questioning the accuracy of his claims. While Evans has undoubtedly modernized the house since his purchase, evident in his Instagram posts showcasing the renovations, the initial photographs suggest that his portrayal of the property as a dilapidated 'tip' may have been an embellishment.
