Strictly Come Dancing's Wynne Evans splits from fiancée weeks after proposing
Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans has called it quits with his fiancée Liz Brookes, just weeks after popping the question in a dreamy Moroccan getaway. The famed Welsh tenor raised eyebrows during a Facebook Live session this morning, suggesting his romance was "not healthy" and revealing he's already dipping his toes back into the dating pool. Rumours about the couple's split started swirling last month when eagle-eyed followers noticed Wynne had removed his engagement announcement from Instagram and stopped following Liz. It now seems the couple have permanently parted ways. Sources close to the Daily Mail divulged that Wynne's packed schedule, juggling the launch of his new restaurant in Carmarthen and launching a radio show from the same location, sparked the split. Wynne Evans proposing to Liz Brookes (Image: Instagram/wynneevans) An insider revealed: "Wynne and Liz broke off their engagement a few weeks ago. The pressure of his new business ventures took its toll and they had a big fallout. Initially, there was a belief they would get back together when the ill-feeling died down, as they had split before and managed to patch things up." "But with Wynne actively trying to date again and going public describing the relationship as 'not healthy', it's safe to say they've split for good this time." Representatives for Wynne Evans have been approached by The Mirror for a statement. Liz, a successful events company boss from Wales, first crossed paths with Wynne in 2024 when he was booked to perform at one of her corporate gigs, reports the Mirror. Throughout his stint on Strictly, she was a fixture in the audience, frequently seen rooting for him and posting words of encouragement online. Wynne has openly credited Liz for inspiring his fitness journey prior to his BBC stint, admitting on a podcast: "I go out running with my girlfriend and stuff and I feel much better for it". The couple's engagement was announced by Wynne in June via Instagram, where he shared snaps of the proposal, including a glimpse of Liz's sparkling ring. His caption read: "Big news... I got engaged! This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz - and she said yes! (No take-backs, I've checked.)". Wynne Evans on Strictly (Image: PA) He gushed about his fiancée, saying: "She's clever, she's kind, she's got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are! Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug." The split comes amidst a challenging year for the Go Compare icon, who was axed by the BBC earlier this year following a contentious "spit roast" remark made during the Strictly live tour. Wynne later clarified that the comment was aimed at fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick, not presenter Janette Manrara as initially reported, but he stated he was compelled to apologise and has subsequently severed ties with BBC Radio Wales. He's since debuted his own online radio programme and launched a wine bar and eatery named Welsh House by Wynne, where he's pledged to feature MasterChef-inspired dishes in homage to his stint on the cooking show.
