Wynne Evans, known for his role in the GoCompare ads, faces backlash after allegedly making offensive remarks towards Janette Manrara during the Strictly Come Dancing launch. The incident reportedly contributed to his separation from long-term partner Liz Brookers.
Wynne Evans , best known for his role in the GoCompare ads and as a Welsh opera singer, has reportedly separated from his long-term partner Liz Brookers amidst a wave of controversy surrounding his alleged offensive remarks. Evans, 53, and Brookers, 50, began their relationship in early 2022, but according to reports from The Mirror, their romance has come to an end following a series of scandals involving Evans' inappropriate and sexually charged comments.
An insider close to the couple revealed that while Brookers publicly stood by Evans, she was deeply embarrassed by the events unfolding during his participation in Strictly Come Dancing. The source stated, 'Although she loyally stood by him in public, Liz was humiliated by what happened when he was on Strictly.' The breakdown reportedly stems from Evans' comment during the show's launch in Birmingham, where he allegedly made a vulgar remark towards tour host Janette Manrara, referring to a sexual act with the phrase 'spit roast.' He later issued a heartfelt apology, but it seems this incident proved to be the final straw for Brookers.Friends of the couple have reportedly stated that Brookers, who had been a consistent presence at Strictly events, found it particularly difficult to witness the unfolding 'gropegate' drama on social media, particularly given Evans' reported close bond with fellow contestant Katya Jones. The source added, 'It's not clear exactly when they split, but friends say that when his latest lewd gaffe was revealed at the Strictly Live Tour launch she was relieved they were no longer together.' Following the controversy, Evans announced his temporary departure from his radio show and the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, prioritizing his wellbeing as per an agreement with the BBC. He stated, '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. 'I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.' The Mirror has reached out to Evans' representatives for further comment
