BBC issues warning to Strictly's Wynne Evans after making 'inappropriate' sexual remark about Janette Manrara

Strictly star Wynne Evans has been reprimanded by the BBC after making an inappropriate comment about Janette Manrara during the Strictly Live Tour.

The 52-year-old Go Compare advert star, who is currently performing with professional dancer Katya Jones, made a crude joke about Janette during a photocall in Birmingham.

During a group photo, Evans was caught on camera making an unsuitable sexual comment to Janette as she joined the group. He sang out: "Go Compare," before adding: "Not too close to Jamie [Borthwick]."

He then used the derogatory term 'spit roast' in reference to a vulgar sexual act in a video published by Daily Mail.

Janette's reaction was unclear as her face was momentarily obscured by other Strictly stars. There was awkward laughter, with Jamie wincing as Evans appeared to chuckle at his own comment, reports the Mirror.

Following his remark, Evans issued an apology: "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable for which I sincerely apologise."

A spokesperson for the BBC confirmed they had addressed the issue with the opera singer, stating they 'do not tolerate such behaviour'. The tour producers have also given him a warning.

A representative for the Strictly live tour and BBC Studios said: "We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints. We have made it very clear to Wynne that we do not tolerate such behaviour on the tour."

Evans recently had to withdraw from the Glasgow leg of the Strictly tour due to an ankle injury.

He posted pictures of his bruised ankle on Instagram and shared a video update on Saturday evening, saying: "Ankle's getting a bit better, it was great to be able to sing in Glasgow tonight, even if I couldn't dance, hopefully back tomorrow. But watch this space, I'll let you know in the morning. See how the swelling goes down, and all that kind of stuff, thanks for all the lovely messages, amazing."

Video shows huge plume of smoke rising from Hyde Park - but it's nothing to do with a fire

Huge plumes of smoke were seen rising from Hyde Park today - that being the 20th day of the fourth month of this year. The beginnings of a wildfire? A mass BBQ event? Or a trade show for wood-burning stoves? It was none of those. If you were there the smell might give it away, along with the conical shape of the rollies being passed around, one toke at a time. Today was 420 - a day reserved for celebrating the inhalation of marijuana, a plant that calms the body and titillates the mind. Lighting up joints in full view of the police, thousands of revellers descended on the Central London Royal Park to take part in the 'unauthorised event' which demands the illegal Class B drug become decriminalised. Pot smokers unite for the rally every year on April 20, a reference to the term 420 under the American date system. The origins of 420 are said to come from the time - 4.20pm - when students at a school in California would convene for a search to find an abandoned plot of cannabi...
