Footage has shown the moment Strictly Come Dancing’s Wynne Evans was ‘banished’ by his co-stars in a game played on tour, just days after he was caught on camera making a vile s3xual jibe.

The Go Compare star, 52, joined his fellow stars taking part in their own version of The Traitors during the show’s live tour on Friday night.

The clip, which was shared on Janette’s Manrara’s Instagram Stories before footage of Wynne’s comment emerged, showed the Strictly stars taking part in their first roundtable, and after Wynne was banished, he dramatically revealed he was a Traitor.

The Strictly cast first took part in their own of the iconic BBC murder-mystery during last year’s tour, with its stars documenting the game on social media.

Wynne was recorded crudely suggesting a three-way s3x session with presenter Janette, using the term ‘spit roast’ at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour ten days ago.

He swiftly earned a rebuke from BBC bosses who told him: ‘We will not tolerate such behaviour.’

Hours after the footage emerged on Saturday night, Janette was seen partying with her Strictly co-stars as they celebrated the birthday of dancer Jake Leigh, though Wynne was noticeably absent.

In a clip shared on her Stories, she joined stars including Dianne Buswell, Tasha Ghouri and Michelle Tsiakkas in the bar of their hotel in Glasgow.

Strictly forced to cancel its Friday night show at the OVO Hydro due to Storm Eowyn, with the show now taking place on Sunday.

This is not the first time Evans has threatened the reputation of the BBC’s biggest show as it attempts to recover from a string of scandals.

During last year’s televised shows, he was accused of ‘groping’ his dance partner Katya although the pair dismissed it as a joke that had been misunderstood.

Evans’s latest crass comments came as he posed for pictures with Ms Manrara, 41, a professional dancer who is hosting the live tour, and EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, 30.

The reaction of Janette is unclear on the footage as she is momentarily obscured by other Strictly stars. But Borthwick appears to wince as Evans sniggers to himself.

Wynne pulled out of a Glasgow performance of the Strictly tour earlier this week, citing an ankle injury. But he told The Mail on Sunday: ‘My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.’

A spokesman for BBC Studios and the Strictly Live tour producers said: ‘We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints.

‘We have made it very clear to Wynne that we do not tolerate such behaviour on the tour.’

The incident was captured on video and audio by a Mail on Sunday reporter at the official launch of this year’s tour at the Birmingham Arena ten days ago, and brings new embarrassment to the BBC after a string of scandals.

In the worst, news anchor Huw Edwards was convicted of accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.

Later Gregg Wallace was forced to step away from MasterChef amid allegations of s3xually inappropriate behaviour. And Strictly itself, long celebrated as wholesome entertainment, was itself plagued by controversy.

In the footage, Evans, a presenter on BBC Radio Wales, stands in the middle of a line-up of 20 celebrities and dancers as Ms Manrara, who hosts the TV spin-off Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, is summoned to join them. As she approaches, Evans warns her with a grin: ‘Not too close to Jamie!’

He then pulls a suggestive face at the actor, behind Ms Manrara’s back, as she moves between them. It is at this point that Evans makes his disgusting joke at her expense.

Seconds later, her dancer husband Aljaz Skorjanec, who was standing nearby, asks her: ‘Darling, are you OK?’ She replies curtly: ‘Yep.’

On Saturday, Janette’s spokeswoman said the host had been ‘unaware of this comment by Wynne’ which was audible to our reporter filming with a mobile phone 20 yards away.

In addition to appearing on Strictly last year, father-of-two Evans won Celebrity MasterChef in 2023. His new BBC1 travel show, All At Sea, with Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, begins tomorrow night.

That his ‘spit-roast’ comment was made at a media event will infuriate Corporation bosses still struggling to repair Strictly’s tainted image following bullying complaints and junior staff’s claims of a ‘toxic’ behind-the-scenes culture.

Three days into rehearsals in 2023, actress Amanda Abbington complained about her dance partner Giovanni Pernice.

A year later the BBC apologised to her, upholding verbal bullying and harassment complaints but clearing Pernice of physical aggression.

Then Graziano Di Prima was sacked after footage from rehearsals showed him kicking Love Island star Zara McDermott.

Last year Evans won millions of Strictly fans with his jollity and determination to learn to dance, but then suddenly faced criticism after viewers spotted a grimacing Ms Jones forcibly removing his hand as it strayed across her waist as they faced the cameras backstage.

Afterwards Evans tried to give his partner a high five, but she shot him a scathing look, rolled her eyes and turned away.

Attempting to defuse the row, Evans and Ms Jones said they were ‘just messing around’ and that it was a ‘very silly inside joke’.

But two weeks later the Welsh tenor’s ‘jokes’ caused further controversy when he suggested to a make-up artist that the folds of his double chin looked like a vagina.

Evans apparently insisted his joke was self-deprecating, did not cause offence and was made in a private conversation with at least one other person in the room. It is unclear if a complaint was made or whether the incident was investigated.

A week after the ‘spit-roasting’ comment Evans appeared on The One Show to talk about the ‘banter’ on tour. He said: ‘It’s fun… Craig [Revel Horwood] called me yesterday, he said I was stompy and flat-footed.

‘So I said: ‘Have you heard your album, mate, that’s stompy and flat if ever I’ve heard it!’ So yeah, there’s quite a lot of banter.

‘He gave me a two yesterday, so I was absolutely gutted, just because I was a bit rude about his album.’

Evans suffered clinical depression and his weight rose to 22 stone after he and his wife of 17 years, Tanwen, decided to get divorced in 2016.

He is now dating Liz Brookes, aged 50, an events manager and fitness fanatic credited with his dramatic seven-stone weight loss.
