And he addressed the incident shortly after taking to the stage at Glasgow Hydro, venue for the latest show on the UK-wide Strictly Come Dancing tour. Evans, 52, was reunited with dance partner Katya Jones after withdrawing the previous evening with a 'bad ankle.'.

Addressing fans at the Hydro, the star told audience members he'd 'not had the best day', but appeared to have no problem working his way through a series of intricately choreographed routines. Despite his swift return, a faction of those in attendance admitted they were surprised to see him back onstage.

Laura Anne Goldie from Glasgow, 44, who attended the show with her friend said: 'We’re disgusted he’s says something like that. It’s completely inappropriate. 'It’ll make me feel completely different watching him this evening. It’s very ungentlemanly, I would say, and totally inappropriate. Has he got a daughter? I don't know.
