Wynne Evans hits out at Strictly Come Dancing co-stars as he bashes ‘fake’ friendships

Strictly Come Dancing’s Wynne Evans hit out at his former co-stars in a since-deleted post about fake friendships. The Go Compare star was axed from the Strictly Live Tour after making an inappropriate sexual remark and which led to the cancellation of his BBC Radio Wales show.

He wrote on October 10: “Here’s what I learnt from Strictly. If you think you’ve built a real connection, you haven’t. You’ve paid for their time – and once the cameras stop, so does the care. But here, it’s real. The people who listen, message, and laugh with me – you – are genuine. This isn’t showbiz, it’s community. And I’ll always choose that.”

Before it was deleted, fans wondered if it was a dig at Katya. Wynne’s followers asked if he was fighting with the Russian dancer. One asked: “Does your dance partner never get in touch anymore? If not that is so so sad.”

Another said: “The way you were treated was absolutely disgusting. Your dance partner should have shouted from the rooftops in support of you. You deserve better.”

One annoyed user posted: “Oh boo hoo, imagine the suffering of getting paid to do something you signed up to do for money.”

Wynne’s time on Strictly was controversial and it all started when fas claimed he was making Katya uncomfortable with his actions on stage.

After Katya was seen refusing a high-five and batting his hand away when it came around her waist, the pair said it was a joke that went wrong and assured fans all was well.

On the Strictly Live Tour, the singer was asked to leave the remaining dates after using an offensive sexual comment to refer to a co-star.

After he was axed from the tour, his radio show on BBC Radio Wales was also cancelled.

Since leaving the show, Wynne went on to set up his own radio programme called The Wynne Evans Show. He also launched a fan club where people have to cough up cash to be a member.

As well as entry into regular prize draws, members can get discounts to his shows, a mention on his radio program and the right to call themself a ‘Wynner”.

Wynne describes Wynners as “a community of people bound by kindness, courage and shared stories”. On his website, he added: “Cynics can be cynical. What I’m building with the Wynners goes far beyond what traditional radio offers. We’re creating something listeners describe as ‘their daily tonic’, a morning of fun and friendship.”
