The so-called truth behind the joke that saw Wynne Evans leave the Strictly Live Tour is said to have been revealed.
The Welsh opera singer, 53, stepped back from the tour after he was filmed making a demeaning remark to tour host Janette Manrara at a photocall during the launch in Birmingham. He was filmed making an inappropriate s3xual comment to the host as she walked over to the group for a photo. He was heard using the demeaning term “spit roast” in reference to a s3xual act.
And now, it’s claimed the truth has been leaked – and it’s supposedly not good news for the BBC.

According to The Sun, the joke didn’t have any sinister meaning. Instead, an insider told the publication the joke was actually a nickname for a co-star and was known to be as such to a number of those involved in the tour.
The publication alleged the phrase was “was widely remarked on and laughed at during the tour and became something that was regularly bandied about”. They added that Wynne is said to be “incredibly upset that no one has come to his defence publicly” in light of his dismissal from the show.
It’s also claimed Wynne is looking to gain “some recompense” seeing as his “reputation has been left in tatters” after the video emerged. “He said he is going to a tribunal with the BBC and will fight with every breath in his body. Wynne feels he has been treated unfairly and won’t go down without a fight,” a source told The Sun.
The source went on to explain that Wynne is fighting on the grounds of an unfair dismissal. They added: “Wynne thinks he has a case for loss of earnings, as well as a potential breach of contract. He is being advised by a legal team and thinks he has a strong case to take forward.”
It’s thought away from Strictly, Wynne’s other work is also at risk. Reports suggest he is at risk of being dumped as the face of Go Compare, for whom his work made him a household name. An insider previously told the Mirror that Wynne was “in a bad way” considering the status of his career, and was “worried he could lose everything.”
