Go Compare star Wynne Evans, who was axed from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour after making a crude remark towards host Janette Manrara, insists the comment was a 'long-running joke' and claims he's been unfairly treated by the BBC.
Wynne Evans , the Go Compare star, is embroiled in controversy after a video surfaced of him making a crude and offensive remark towards tour host Janette Manrara at the Strictly Come Dancing live tour press launch. In the footage, Evans suggests a three-way sex session with Manrara and actor Jamie using the highly demeaning term 'spit roast.' While Manrara did not file a formal complaint, the comment sparked outrage and led to Evans' removal from the tour.
Evans, 53, maintains that his remark was a 'long-running joke' within his Strictly circle and that it was not intended to cause offense. He reportedly believes he has been unfairly treated by the BBC and is considering legal action.Friends of Evans have come forward to defend him, claiming that his humor is often 'on the knuckle' but that he is not malicious. They assert that the 'spit roast' comment was a well-known nickname within the tour group and that several professional dancers and celebrities were aware of its usage. They also allege that Evans was deeply upset by the lack of public support from his co-stars and that he feels betrayed by the entire situation.Evans' representatives have declined to comment on the matter, while the BBC has stated that they did not receive any complaints at the time of the incident. However, the controversy has cast a shadow over Evans' career, with his future with Go Compare and his BBC Wales radio show now uncertain. The scandal has sparked discussions about workplace humor, the boundaries of acceptable conduct, and the role of public perception in shaping an individual's reputation.
