'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.'.
BBC Studios will be releasing a statement later today, it has been reported. There are 12 dates left on the tour with the cast due to take to the stage in Liverpool tonight. Wynne was recorded earlier this month crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette, 41, using the hugely demeaning term 'spit roast'.
On Monday, Wynne accepted the BBC's offer to take time off from his BBC Wales show, which he has been hosting from regional studios while he has been taking part on the tour.

A source told MailOnline the break was sparked by the furore surrounding his comment, plus the fact he is still mourning his older brother Huw, who died earlier this month, combined with the physical toll of being on the road. His Strictly co-stars stars were said to be rallying around the Welshman on his birthday, after the BBC confirmed he's been granted leave from his radio show.
