Wynne Evans 'hanging onto his job' after sexual jibe at Strictly co-star and BBC warning

Strictly Come Dancing's Wynne Evans is said to be hanging onto his career after he was caught on camera making a vile sexual remark. The Go Compare advert star has come under fire for his comments while on the Strictly Live tour. He appeared at the launch of the tour in Birmingham that included a photocall with all the Strictly cast. Evans stood alongside fellow celebrities JB Gill, Tasha Ghouri, Montell Douglas, Shayne Ward and Jamie Borthwick.
They were also joined by the Strictly professional dancers as well as Janette Manrara, who acts as host on tour. As they huddled together for a photo, Evans was recorded making an inappropriate sexual comment to Janette when she walked over to the group. He sang out: "Go Compare," before adding: "Not too close to Jamie." He then used the hugely demeaning term "spit roast" in reference to a lewd sexual act.
In a statement, Evans told the Mirror: "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise." Just a few weeks ago, Evans faced backlash over an "inside joke" with dance partner Katya. He controversially placed his hand on Katya's waist before seeming to move it closer to her stomach. A stony face Katya appeared to brush away his hand as the pair stood side by side.
Evans had also found himself at the centre of more drama after a "vulgar" joke he reportedly made behind-the-scenes was "leaked". The opera singer claimed his double chin resembled a vagina as he got his make-up done backstage. His latest comment has heaped further controversy on the BBC and Strictly.
