Wynne Evans' £1M Go Compare Deal at Risk After Strictly Scandal

Wynne Evans, the Welsh opera singer known for his role as Gio Compario in Go Compare adverts, is facing significant career challenges after making inappropriate sexual remarks during a photocall for the Strictly Come Dancing tour. Following the backlash, he has been axed from the tour and is currently in crisis talks with Go Compare executives about the future of his £1 million contract, which is reportedly hanging by a thread. Evans has publicly apologized and announced he will be taking time off from his BBC Radio Wales show and other commitments to focus on his wellbeing. In addition to the fallout from the Strictly incident, he has also split from his girlfriend, who felt humiliated by the situation. Critics have expressed outrage over the continued airing of his new travel series, Wynne & Joanna: All At Sea, questioning why it wasn't postponed due to the scandal. The BBC is navigating a difficult situation, balancing its commitment to safeguarding and the impact of Evans' remarks on the family-friendly nature of the show.
