‘It changes everything!’ Wynne Evans submits Strictly ‘dossier’ to BBC as sacked star looks to ‘clear his name’
Wynne Evans has submitted a dossier of evidence to the BBC in an attempt to clear his name amid an ongoing scandal surrounding comments made on the Strictly Come Dancing tour, a source has claimed.
The 53-year-old Welsh opera singer, famed for starring in the GoCompare adverts, was sacked from the Strictly live show after allegedly directing a crude sexual remark to Janette Manrara.
After being recorded making the comment which made reference to a “spit roast”, Evans was dropped from the tour and stepped down from his role at BBC Wales.
Soon after, it was revealed the singer was “going to a tribunal with the BBC” over his exile and would not “go down without a fight”.
The dossier, seen by The Sun, includes videos and screenshots that friends say prove his innocence.
Soon after the claims were reported, Evans was adamant the remark was not about Manrara and that other stars on the tour were aware of this.
The Go Compare singer reportedly believes his reputation has been unfairly left “in tatters” despite deeply apologising for the remark.
A friend of Evans, who said the singer has been “thrown under the bus”, told the publication that the clip has been misinterpreted.
“Wynne’s team have had the clip sent off to a cyber forensics team which has come back with a word nobody had previously picked up on before; they believe it changes everything.“
In it, he can be heard saying ‘old spitroast boy’ to Jamie Borthwick. It may seem like semantics, but the ‘old’ and the ‘boy’ proves he was addressing Jamie and NOT making a crude sexual remark about Janette, as originally thought.
