Overview

• Evans told LBC he should never have used the phrase, said he was unprepared for the scrutiny, and insisted he blames no one but himself.
• The BBC investigated his behaviour after the live-tour photocall and did not renew his BBC Radio Wales contract, following his removal from the Strictly tour.
• He said the fallout cost him his singing jobs, television opportunities and his radio show.
• Reflecting on his experience, he said he wishes he had stepped away when his mental health began to suffer, though he praised the family appeal of Strictly and said he would still recommend it to a friend.
• He highlighted a pivot to independent ventures, saying he now runs The Wynne Evans Show online and has opened a restaurant in west Wales, while tabloid reports continue to cite disputed legal claims around others' conduct on the programme.
