THE BBC was facing a fresh crisis last night after a Strictly Come Dancing star was caught making a vile s3xual comment about a host.
Singer Wynne Evans, 52, was recorded suggesting a three-way s3x session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.

Strictly’s Katya Jones and Wynne Evans Strictly Come Dancing
His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.
He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.
Wynne previously came under fire in last year’s series when he was seen groping his dance partner Katya Jones, but they dismissed it as a joke.
Father-of-two Evans pulled out of a Glasgow performance yesterday, citing an ankle injury.
But he told The Mail on Sunday: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
BBC and Strictly Live producers said: “We have made it clear to Wynne we do not tolerate such behaviour on tour.”
Janette’s spokeswoman said she had been “unaware of this comment”.
Evans shared images of his bruised ankle in a story on Instagram.
In a video posted on the social media site on Saturday evening, he said: “Ankle’s getting a bit better, it was great to be able to sing in Glasgow tonight, even if I couldn’t dance, hopefully back tomorrow.
“But watch this space, I’ll let you know in the morning. See how the swelling goes down, and all that kind of stuff, thanks for all the lovely messages, amazing.”
Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood said Friday’s live performance of the hit dancing show in Glasgow had been cancelled.
It was rescheduled for Sunday evening as Storm Eowyn forced people in the Scottish city to stay indoors.
The show on Saturday went ahead as planned and it is expected the Sunday slot at the OVO Hydro Glasgow will also.
The tour next stops at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the First Direct Arena Leeds on Thursday and Friday.
In October, Evans and Jones apologised for a “joke” that saw her move Evans’ hand from her waist during the BBC show.
In another moment Jones appeared to not want to high-five her celebrity partner, which they called “a running joke”.
Chaperones have been put in place on Strictly during rehearsals last year after a review was launched by the BBC following contestant complaints.
Evans, a BBC Radio Wales presenter, also performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and won 2023’s Celebrity MasterChef.
He was eliminated during the Blackpool week of Strictly last year.
