For £4.50 a month – or £6.50 for a couple – fans of his new Wynne Evans show can stay at his Llansteffan house.

Members will also get discounts to his shows, a mention on his online radio show and the right to call themselves a ‘Wynner’. Evans describes ‘Wynners’ on his website as “a community of people bound by kindness, courage and shared stories”

Sharing a message to those on his site, WynneEvansShow.com, the ex Strictly star said: “Welcome one & all. Yes you can just listen, or you can get really involved in keeping the show going & growing by joining the Supporters Club.

“One Club. Many ways to join. The same benefits for everyone – that’s what being a Wynne is all about. Wxx.”

The star shot to fame in 2009 when he starred in the Go.Compare adverts as Gio Compario, a stereotypical Italian operatic tenor.

He later appeared on Strictly before being axed from the live tour after being accused of an inappropriate remark, which he denied.

After losing his BBC job, Wynne returned to the spotlight by launching his own digital radio show in July. Answering fans’ questions in his first broadcast, Evans revealed that he’s no longer in touch with former partner Katya Jones.

When asked whether he was in contact with any of the Strictly stars, he said: “No I’m not. I’m not in contact with any of them.

“I think that when I was released from the tour, I heard – although this may not be true – that they were told not to contact me. I’ve had a few messages from them since – but not really, now today I’m not in contact with any of them at all.”

When contacted by the Mirror yesterday, Wynne said: “I asked the Wynners what they wanted as perks for joining the Wynne Evans Show Supporters club, and their answer floored me: nothing.

“Just keep the show free for everyone who needs it. That generosity speaks volumes about who they are, and this is my way of saying thank you.

Cynics can be cynical. What I’m building with the Wynners goes far beyond what traditional radio offers. We’re creating something listeners describe as ‘their daily tonic’, a morning of fun and friendship.

I’m committed to creating a daily dose of joy, every weekday from 8:25 at wynneevansshow.com.”
