@Source: walesonline.co.uk
Welsh presenter Wynne Evans has broken his silence and returned to Instagram, since stepping away. The 53-year-old was caught up in scandal after inappropriate behaviour during his time on Strictly Come Dancing.
Wynne, who is known for being the Go Compare man and hosting his own BBC Radio Wales host, first caused controversy when holding his professional dance partner's, Katya Jones's, waist on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023. Then during the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour in 2024 Wynne left the tour and stepped back from his radio show after he was overheard making inappropriate comments while on the Strictly live tour.
His statement read: "I’ve agreed with the BBC that I’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing." He added: "I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.
"Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me." While Wynne is yet to return to his radio show, he has now returned to Instagram. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter.
Answering a question and answer about what his followers were up to at the weekend, Wynne also posted that he was attending a rugby game in Llanelli, watching the Scarlets, Llanelli's team, play the Stormers, a South African rugby team.
He captioned the picture of the game: "West is best" and tagged the rugby team. In some of the answers sent in by his fans they said they missed Wynne and hearing him on the radio, but Wynne did not address any return to BBC Radio Wales.
