Following his shock axing from the Strictly Come Dancing tour, Wynne Evans' three-word vow has come to light. At a photocall event in Birmingham, during the tour's launch, the Welsh opera singer, who rose to fame as the 'GoCompare Man' was caught on camera using sexualised language that appeared to make others feel uncomfortable.
The 53-year-old, who was partnered with dancer Katya Jones during his Strictly run, has now come under fire for making a lewd remark about Janette Manrara, who acts as a host on tour, while huddling together with his fellow Strictly stars. As Janette walked over to the group, Wynne was recorded making an inappropriate sexual comment. The interaction began when the tenor sang out: "Go Compare," going on to add: "Not too close to Jamie." He then used the demeaning term "spit roast" - referring to an explicit sexual act.
In a statement, Wynne told the Mirror: "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise." This comes after Wynne promised to become a "much better person", in his brand new BBC show All At Sea, which follows him and Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page on a tour of Wales.
The first episode of the series aired Monday, January 27 - just as an outcry erupted over Wynne's crass comments. Opening up in the show, Wynne admitted that he often hides his true self from the world, confessing: 'There's an opera called Pagliacci which is about the clown entertaining people and when you take the makeup off it's a very, very different person underneath.
