Wynne Evans, known for his role in the GoCompare adverts and his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, has issued an apology following a sexually suggestive remark made during the live tour launch. The incident has sparked debate about Evans' behaviour and his future involvement with the BBC.

Strictly Come Dancing bosses have made a decision about Wynne Evans ' future on the tour following a controversial incident earlier this month. During the live tour launch press call in Birmingham, Evans was caught on camera making a sexually suggestive remark to Janette Manrara, the tour's host. He exclaimed, 'Go Compare,' followed by, 'Not too close to Jamie,' which was perceived as inappropriate by many.

Evans later issued an apology, stating, 'My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.' Despite his apology, questions remain about Evans' participation in the tour and his future with the BBC, as he also hosts a BBC Wales radio show. Tour executives reportedly accepted Evans' apology and gave him a warning, stressing that such language is not tolerated. Sources close to the situation revealed that Evans was remorseful and deeply upset after the incident, acknowledging that he had overstepped the mark. He is said to be receiving support for his mental health. This isn't the first time Evans has faced criticism for his conduct. During his time on Strictly Come Dancing, he was accused of making inappropriate physical contact with his dance partner, Katya Jones, during a live broadcast. While the pair insisted it was an 'inside joke', some viewers were unconvinced. Evans also sparked controversy off-stage with a crude joke, comparing his double chin to female anatomy while getting his makeup done. The recent incident has reignited discussions about Evans' behaviour and its appropriateness. His future with the Strictly tour and the BBC remains uncertain
