Wynne Evans has reportedly split from his girlfriend after she was left 'humiliated' by his latest scandal and withdrew from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour. The opera singer, 53, broke his silence with a statement on Tuesday, saying he had agreed with the BBC to “take some time out” from his radio show and the Strictly live tour “to prioritise my wellbeing”.

It came after his appearance on the tour was thrown into doubt, when he was caught on film by The Mail on Sunday making a vile sexual comment about It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara during a photocall to launch the tour. It has now been reported that Wynne has also separated from his girlfriend, events manager Liz Brookes, 50.

The pair had begun dating in the spring of last year following the break up of his 16 year marriage. Despite his tumultous time on Strictly, Liz supported Wynne throughout his time on the show and was often spotted cheering him on from the audience and sharing a sweet snap of them together, where she gushed she was 'proud' of him.

Wynne Evans has reportedly split from his girlfriend after she was left 'humiliated' by his latest scandal and withdrew from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour (pictured). However, according to The Sun, she was 'humiliated' by his scandals on the show last year - notably his awkward 'hand wandering' moment with dance partner Katya Jones.
