He continued: “I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. I’m sorry to those who won’t be able to see the remaining performances, and I’m appreciative of my fellow tour members’ incredible help.
Speaking previously to the Mirror, Wynne said: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable for which I sincerely apologise”. Following the incident, the BBC revealed that they had warned Evans about his behaviour. The Strictly Live Tour and BBC Studios spokesman said: “We did not previously receive any complaints about the remark.” We have made it very clear to Wynne that we will not tolerate such conduct on the tour.
