Wynne Evans has been dropped from the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour after being caught making a sexual remark to his co-star - and we want to hear your thoughts on the decision. The GoCompare singer was filmed making a lewd comment about professional dancer Janette Manrara at a photocall event in Birmingham during the tour's launch. In uncomfortable scenes, the BBC Wales presenter used the demeaning term "spit roast" when Janette took her place between him and fellow star Jamie Borthwick.
A source told the Sun: "He's had repeated warnings about his behaviour and told to rein it in. He's not been taking it in, in this day and age the BBC have to be seen taking action and safeguard everyone. "He's had a tough time with the death of his brother and people should give him some slack, he is going to take this time off to do some self reflection. He has a lot of support from a lot of the backstage dancers. It's been a really sad ending to what has been a really fun tour.".
A tour insider added: "He was very apologetic and fully agreed that what he said was inappropriate and unacceptable. He was given a warning and told in no uncertain terms that that kind of language is not tolerated.". It is believed that BBC Studios will release a statement later today. After footage of the incident emerged over the weekend, the opera singer apologised for using the unacceptable language.
