Strictly's Wynne Evans arrives back at hotel in Scotland amid sexual jibe row. Wynne Evans was recorded crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the hugely demeaning term 'spit roast'.
The BBC was facing a fresh crisis last night after a Strictly Come Dancing star was caught on film by The Mail on Sunday making a vile sexual comment about one of the show's female hosts.
During last year's televised shows, the 52-year-old was accused of 'groping' his dance partner Katya Jones, 35, although the pair dismissed it as a joke that had been misunderstood. A spokesman for BBC Studios and the Strictly Live tour producers said: 'We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints. We have made it very clear to Wynne that we do not tolerate such behaviour on the tour.'
In the MoS film Evans, a presenter on BBC Radio Wales, stands in the middle of a line-up of 20 celebrities and dancers as Ms Manrara, who hosts the TV spin-off Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, is summoned to join them. As she approaches, Evans warns her with a grin: 'Not too close to Jamie!' During last year's televised shows, the 52-year-old was accused of 'groping' his dance partner Katya Jones
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. Last year Evans won millions of Strictly fans with his jollity and determination to learn to dance, but then suddenly faced criticism after viewers spotted a grimacing Ms Jones forcibly removing his hand as it strayed across her waist as they faced the cameras backstage.
Attempting to defuse the row, Evans and Ms Jones said they were 'just messing around' and that it was a 'very silly inside joke'.
