It’s about as crude and offensive a suggestion as you can make. So, when I heard Strictly star and opera singer Wynne Evans use the vile term 'spitroast' – conjuring up a sordid vision of three-way sex with his popular BBC colleague Janette Manrara – I naturally thought she would be furious. He has subsequently apologised, saying the comment was “inappropriate and unacceptable”.

She was standing just a few yards away, after all. And Evans’s disgusting outburst came while they were on professional duty with their assembled co-stars at the launch of this year’s Strictly tour. I was outraged. There could be no doubt about what he’d said. Evans was 20 yards from where I was standing, but I heard his words quite clearly. And they sent shockwaves through me.

I’m not the only one, of course. Amid general revulsion following my exposure of Evans’s disgraceful slur in The Mail on Sunday, the star is now ‘taking time off’ from his breakfast show on BBC Radio Wales. But what about his fellow professionals? Aren’t they angry, too?.

Why are both Janette and Evans's former dance partner Katya Jones - two non-nonsense, long serving Strictly stars - refusing to condemn him?. We have seen no action from the BBC, an organisation supposedly dedicated to the preservation of wholesome values. The best it could do was a statement from BBC Studios saying: 'We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints.
