Overview

• The BBC confirmed Wynne Evans’ one-year rolling contract for his mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales will not be renewed following the probe.
• The investigation began after Evans used the term “spit roast” at a Strictly tour photocall, leading to his removal from the live performance schedule.
• Complaints also arose over an incident in which his hand rested on dance partner Katya Jones’ waist, which both later said was a misjudged joke.
• In an emotional Instagram statement, Evans thanked his fans for their support and described losing the BBC show as “heartbreaking.”
• He plans to relaunch his programme as The Wynne Evans Show online, broadcasting daily from 9 AM to 12 PM via a new app, Alexa, Google speakers and his website.
