Wynne Evans accuses Strictly Come Dancing of ‘fundamentally flawed' duty of care
Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans has accused the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing of being 'fundamentally flawed in its duty of care'. The tenor, 53, known for the insurance advertisements, competed in the 20th anniversary series of the hit dancing programme with professional dancer Katya Jones. In May, Evans announced he had been dropped by the BBC and would no longer present on BBC Radio Wales after apologising for using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly tour. The apology came after the Mail On Sunday reported in January he had aimed a sexual joke at one of the other professional dancers, Janette Manrara. In an Instagram post with a photo of the Strictly professionals, Evans said: 'What it Feels Like to See Pictures of Strictly? 'I'll be the first to admit I've made mistakes. Not quite the way the Daily Mail would have you believe, but mistakes all the same.' Evans accused the BBC of engaging in a series of 'lies and cover‑ups in order to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing' and said this was the 'hardest part' for him. He added: 'From my dealings right at the very top with (BBC director-general) Tim Davie, through BBC Wales and the HR department, one feeling has been constant: the only thing they truly care about is protecting themselves and their jobs and Ratings – people come second. 'When I first stepped into the rehearsal room at Strictly, I thought it would be a magical experience. And at the start, it was. But the very first thing I was told was: 'Don't trust anyone in this room — not even me.' 'That hit me hard. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, and while I may sometimes sail close to the line, there's never malice in what I do. 'What I wasn't prepared for was the way people will protect their personal and BBC brands, at any cost.' Evans claimed in his post that the HR department 'twisted facts, invented files and dates, and created a version of events that simply wasn't true'. 'Statements were issued in my name that I hadn't even seen, let alone agreed to. My voice was taken away,' he said. Evans previously said he had never approved of the statement that was issued by the BBC in January in which he apologised for making an 'inappropriate and unacceptable' comment. At the time, a BBC spokesperson said: 'The apology issued on Wynne's behalf by the Strictly Come Dancing Tour PR representative on Saturday January 25 was fully approved by Wynne.' Evans also said in his post on Tuesday: 'Tim Davie publicly promised that the BBC would safeguard people who took part in Strictly. 'I thought about that promise while sitting in a psychiatrist's office near the BBC, staring out of the window at the BBC building, fighting to save my own life. That's how close I came to the edge. 'I'm not writing this as a victim, as I said I will own my mistakes. I'm writing it because the system is broken. Strictly is now fundamentally flawed in its duty of care. It's allowed to continue because of ratings, while people's wellbeing is left in tatters.' The BBC published a review in 2024 that looked into allegations of bullying and harassment against former Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice, made by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington. The corporation upheld some but not all of the complaints made and introduced a series of new measures aimed at improving welfare. This included the introduction of a chaperone who is present 'at all times' during training room rehearsals. Evans performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef. In May, he told the Sun that the comment he made on the Strictly Come Dancing tour was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast, but instead was a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. In June, the opera singer announced his return to radio with The Wynne Evans Show, a live weekday internet broadcast. The BBC declined to comment on Evans' social media post.

TV stars Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have announced their separation after more than a decade of marriage. They wed in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome and have two children together. They said in a joint statement to the PA news agency: 'We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. 'We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. 'There will be no further comment.' Deeley, 48, has hosted ITV's This Morning alongside Ben Shephard since early last year, and previously lived in Los Angeles for more than 10 years. She hosted the US series So You Think You Can Dance, also appearing on SM:TV Live with TV duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly from 1998 to 2002.

He made his feature film debut the year prior when he starred as a budding comedian going through a marriage break-up in Ballywalter, a movie that takes its title from the Northern Irish town in County Down.

What we know about Beyond Paradise series 4 as filming begins
The beloved BBC crime drama is officially returning for a fourth series, with new details emerging about the team at Shipton Abbott. Beyond Paradise's Detective Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) is returning for another round of tantalising mysteries on the south coast in Shipton Abbott. That's right, the beloved BBC crime drama will be back for a fourth series and the great news was confirmed by Red Planet Pictures on Tuesday, 29 July. Not only that, but it was announced that production has already begun on the new episodes. For those who can't wait to learn more about the new series, here is what we know so far. When will Beyond Paradise series 4 be released? Red Planet Productions confirmed that production had begun on Beyond Paradise's first episode on 21 July with a picture of the very first slate of the series. The image showed a coastal view behind the slate and revealed that the episode itself will be directed by Fiona Walton. The Instagram social media post read: "We're back in Shipton Abbott! Filming has begun this week on the brand-new series of #BeyondParadise. Expect plenty of puzzling twists and turns as the team gear up for another series full of mystery, humour, and heart on the sunny shores of Devon and Cornwall." The BBC hasn't yet confirmed when series 4 will return to screens, but it is likely to continue the tradition of airing in the first half of 2026. The broadcaster will likely confirm the release date closer to the time of its release. What will Beyond Paradise series 4 be about? Series 3 ended with a dramatic twist in Humphrey and fiancée Martha (Sally Bretton) having to say goodbye to their foster child Rosie. The young girl had just started to become comfortable with her new foster parents, and they had grown close to her too, but in the finale, the time came for her to return to her birth parents. Humphrey and Martha's journey as foster parents is an important part of the series and it will likely continue to be a significant narrative in the next series. Elsewhere, the show has been exploring the personal relationships of several supporting characters, such as Esther (Zahra Ahmadi) and her budding romance with Archie (Jamie Bamber). The pair decided to part ways at the end of series 3, but the aftermath of this could play an important part in series 4. And then, of course, there will be a number of important cases for the team in Shipton Abbott to solve. Who stars in Beyond Paradise series 4? Marshall and Bretton are expected to return for the BBC show's fourth series, while other key players like Ahmadi, Dylan Lleweylln, Felicity Montagu, and Barbara Flynn are also expected to reprise their respective roles in the series. The BBC has not yet confirmed who will be part of the cast, but this is likely to be announced soon. The show will also continue to have an array of guest stars, with the cast confirmed closer to series 4's release date. Is there a trailer for Beyond Paradise series 4? No, a trailer for Beyond Paradise series 4 hasn't yet been released as it is too early for there to be one. Filming has only just begun, and a trailer is likely to land once filming is complete and a release date has been confirmed. Beyond Paradise series 1 to 3 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
