Wynne Evans launches restaurant, new radio show after BBC exit

Wynne Evans, the Welsh opera singer known for his GoCompare adverts and 2023 Celebrity MasterChef win, is launching a new restaurant called The Welsh House by Wynne in his hometown of Carmarthen, Wales. This venture comes after a challenging period in his career, including being dropped from the BBC and removed from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour following a controversy over a sexually inappropriate comment. Evans announced the restaurant will feature MasterChef-style dishes and will also serve as the base for his new radio show, continuing his broadcasting career independently. He has taken over the existing Welsh House venue, aiming to capitalize on his recent MasterChef success while offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The announcement was made via Instagram and supported by The Welsh House Carmarthen, highlighting Evans as a passionate local champion of Welsh food and culture. This new project marks a significant career shift for Evans as he moves on from the Strictly scandal and BBC departure.
