Strictly's Wynne Evans suffers fresh blow as 'final BBC show axed' after just one series
Strictly's Wynne Evans suffers fresh blow as 'final BBC show axed' after just one series His final tie to the BBC has reportedly been cut after the Strictly Come Dancing scandal. This Morning: Wynne Evans denies making Strictly apology Wynne Evans has reportedly been dealt another blow, amid reports his final show with the BBC has been axed. The Go Compare opera singer, 53, has slowly returned to the limelight after being dropped from his BBC Wales breakfast radio show last month, following claims of inappropriate comments during his time on Strictly Come Dancing. Wynne had been axed from the Strictly live tour after an 'unacceptable' joke about It Takes Two host Janette Manrara, for which he apologised, saying he was 'deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions caused'. Wynne has now returned to the airwaves with a new radio show, after taking some time for 'self-reflection' and to focus on his mental wellbeing. However, it's now been claimed that his travel show All at Sea, which he hosted with Gavin and Stacey's Joanna Page, won't be renewed. Wynne & Joanna: All at Sea aired earlier this year (Image: Barn Media Ltd / BBC Cymru Wales ) Article continues below The six-part programme, which aired earlier this year, was teased as: 'Old friends Wynne Evans and Joanna Page set sail to explore the coast of south Wales.' The duo travelled the south Wales coastline by boat to reconnect with the nation, explore the scenery and learn the basics of sailing, visiting the likes of Barry Island and Penarth pier along the way. According to reports, Wynne & Joanna: All at Sea won't be returning. An insider told The Sun: 'Once the first series was slapped on ice, there was always a huge question mark hanging over the prospect of a second outing. Wynne apologised after he was axed from the Strictly live tour over an "inappropriate" comment (Image: BBC/Guy Levy ) "Only now has the BBC publicly confirmed it won't be returning. It means that Wynne has no TV show or radio show with the Beeb, and effectively marks the end of their relationship.' This comes after Wynne appeared on This Morning earlier this month and spoke to Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard about the impact the scandal had on him. As well as the alleged crude remark about Janette, Wynne had been accused of joking about a sex toy with Jamie Borthwick in a clip that was reportedly sent to a Strictly group chat. Wynne was partnered with Katya Jones on Strictly (Image: PA Wire/PA Images ) He and his pro partner Katya Jones had also been forced to address a moment captured on live TV where she appeared to move his hand from her waist, with the pair later insisting it was a 'joke'. 'I was at my lowest ebb, I wanted to end my life. I would have if I hadn't been surrounded by people,' he recently said on This Morning. Becoming choked up with emotion, he recalled telling his girlfriend: 'I have to kill myself. I have to because this is what they want.' 'You're full of these thoughts the entire time and it takes over your life,' he added. Wynne has spoken about the impact the scandal had on him (Image: ITV ) Wynne revealed he had been monitored by a crisis team and that his friends and family set up a schedule to stay with him at all times. The BBC and BBC Studios released a statement last year about the show's duty of care, saying it was taken 'extremely seriously'. 'We want Strictly to be a positive experience for everyone involved,' the statement read. Following the news that the BBC had decided to not renew Wynne's one-year rolling contract for his radio show after a four-month investigation after the Strictly controversies, Wynne admitted he was 'gutted'. Article continues below He shared on Instagram: 'It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract, so I won't be returning to my radio show. I'm gutted. 'That show wasn't just work — it was home. It was us. We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family.' Wales Online has approached the BBC for comment.
