Wynne Evans, the Welsh opera singer from the Go.Compare adverts, has shed light on what his family truly thinks about the controversies he became embroiled in during his stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

In a recent interview, he shared the honest reactions of his girlfriend and daughter to the public scandal, which included allegedly making an inappropriate comment during the Strictly live tour. 

Wynne, who joined Strictly the previous year, is still in the process of clearing his name. He maintains that what was alleged to be a "sexual" comment directed towards presenter Janette Manrara was, in fact, a joke aimed at co-star Jamie Borthwick. 

In the aftermath of the incident, Wynne departed from his role on BBC Radio Wales, though he voiced determination not to give up without a fight. Now, in the course of detailing his side of the story, he also unveiled his family's insights on the matter.

Initially, in conversation with The Sun Wynne divulged his conversation with his daughter about the aftermath of the allegations: "I said, 'I'm sorry if I brought any embarrassment to you and shame', and she said, 'Dad, you would never bring embarrassment to me'. She's been so... just like straight down the line." 

Discussing the chat with his girlfriend, Liz Brookes, he recounted: "Yeah, Liz has been the same. You know, Liz is one of these people who is...whose morals are very high, who always holds people to account, and she saw it unfolding, you know."

He elaborated on her reaction after he explained his side: "And as soon as I said to her, you know, 'Look, this is what I said', and you can actually see what I said when you watch the video. You've seen the video. You can actually see it. So, you know, 'Okay, yeah, I understand what you were doing'."

This comes in the wake of claims that Wynne's friends have compiled a dossier, allegedly containing screenshots and videos, which they argue "prove his innocence" after the celebrity stated his reputation was unfairly left "in tatters". 

Wynne, who said his reputation had been harmed even though he apologised for the comment, said that he wasn't referring to Janette at all, something he claims is also known to others.

A confidant revealed: "Wynne's team has had the clip sent off to a cyber forensics team, which has come back with a word nobody had previously picked up on; they believe it changes everything." 

Reports suggest that Wynne was actually heard saying "old spit roast boy" while speaking to his mate and Strictly co-star, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, which his friends argue demonstrates he wasn't alluding to Janette.

Wynne clarified that his comment was in reference to Jamie executing a dance move that involved raising his legs above his head, likening him to a spit roast chicken.

The star's dance partner, Katya Jones, has also supported him through the scandal, after the pair previously caused a stir during the series by playing a joke on audiences, which saw the professional dancer moving Wynne's hand away from her waist. 

The duo have since claimed the controversial moment was part of a "body language experiment" suggested by Katya.
