Wynne, 53, had vowed to fight to save his reputation and told friends he would take the BBC to a tribunal if he lost his radio job.
But a planned meeting with the Beeb to discuss his future has now been put on hold.
A source said: “Wynne was due to meet the BBC last week to talk about the concerns raised against him and how, if they could, move forward.
“Wynne was ready to fight but in recent weeks he has been struggling mentally.
“The stress of what has happened to his reputation has been weighing heavily on his mind.
“The decision has been made to postpone the meeting by a couple of weeks to allow Wynne time to get his head straight.”
The Sun told earlier this month that Wynne felt he had been knifed by the BBC over his Strictly tour axe.
The Go Compare singer was sacked over a sexual comment during the tour’s press launch.
Those close to him said Wynne’s remark was not, as alleged, aimed at Strictly pro Janette Manrara, and was an in-joke.
They said: “Wynne knows the meaning behind his comment and, to his frustration, so do many of the dancers and celebrities on the tour.

“He is heartbroken by how this all played out and is upset that no one has spoken out to defend him publicly. The comment didn’t offend anyone and no one complained.
“Wynne feels badly let down.”
Following his tour exit Wynne said he had agreed to step away from his role on BBC Wales.
It was later claimed there were two other times concerns were raised to the BBC about his choice of words — once on his Radio Wales show and another while filming BBC1’s All At Sea with Gavin & Stacey’s Joanna Page.
