The Welsh opera singer and GoCompare advert star has been at the centre of a scandal after offensive remarks were revealed

Wynne Evans has confirmed he will be taking a break from the current Strictly Come Dancing live tour. Over the weekend, Wynne found himself at the centre of backlash once again when the Mail On Sunday shared footage of the Welsh opera singer cracking a sexual joke about Janette Manrara during a photo-shoot to promote the shows.

Singer and broadcaster Wynne Evans has said he is taking "time out" from the Strictly Come Dancing tour as well as his "other public commitments", to "prioritise my wellbeing". The Welsh tenor's statement came two days after he apologised for making an "inappropriate and unacceptable" comment.
