Wynne Evans, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, fears that his career may be over. Friends have acknowledged that he is in a bad way.
After being caught on camera using a crude sexual expression, the actor is “worried he could lose everything.” It comes as Evans is said to be bracing himself for more examples of his “inappropriate” comments to emerge.
The BBC is under pressure to shelve his new travelogue, Wynne &, Joanna: All At Sea, with Gavin &, Stacey actress Joanna Page He has also stepped back from his BBC Wales radio show, and risks being dumped as the face of Go Compare. Friends claim that the star is a hero because they argued against him because he shouldn’t have received such a vicious backlash.
The pal remarked, “Does he deserve such hatred given that he has taken an oaf and made a stupid mistake?” Yes, using the term spit-roast was absolutely wrong, and he realises this. His issue is that he constantly wants to joke to the crowd.
Speaking about being caught on camera using the word “spit-roast” as part of a Strictly photocall, the pal added: “Jamie Borthwick is his mate and he was laughing and joking, and Katya plays along with the joke too. It’s just schoolboy comedy. He is more Jim Davidson than Peter Kay, and if anything, is more guilty of having a terrible sense of humour”.
His Go Compere deal is “up in the air,” but it is understood that there is no chance he would ever make it back on the Strictly tour. The pal added: “Talk of his career ending is premature – at the end of the day, his radio show is very popular, and he is very much liked. Everyone apprehensions whether he can see the “light at the end of the tunnel.”
Evans was initially given a warning by BBC bosses, but they later caved as resentment increased and he was expelled from live events. The Welsh Opera singer apologised once more for his actions. He said: “I’ve agreed with the BBC that I’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.
” 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’ continued support.
Evans apologized over the weekend for using the sexual term during the January 16 photocall for the tour launch photocall. According to the allegations, Janette Manrara, a professional dancer and TV presenter, made the comment about a “spitroast.” Evans said:” My language was inappropriate and unacceptable for which I sincerely apologise. Bousses had hoped that would draw a line under the situation.
However, the pressure was not lifted, and he was ultimately removed from the tour. The BBC felt the drama overshadowed the premiere of his new travel series, The Mirror reported this week. A source said:” The timing of this is deeply unfortunate. The first episode was clearly overshadowed by the comments, which were idiotic. What on earth was he thinking? Evans has previously been criticized for his actions.
Viewers spotted her posing as a stop-gay between his and Katya Jones’ hands when he and Katya Jones squared off on Strictly last year. In what was a “very silly inside joke,” the pair later claimed they were “just messing around.”
He was also accused of making a vulgar joke while performing his make-up on the show, according to The Mirror. Sources claim Evans jested that the folds of his double chin” looked like a woman’s vagina”. No formal complaints were received, but some employees were unsatisfied.
The source added at the time:” Wynne clearly didn’t mean any offence, but you have to be a little bit careful these days. “Professional dancer Katya reposted Evans’s latest apology and wrote:” Let’s show humanity and consideration. “
