Overview

  • Evans declared he would never return to Strictly Come Dancing because he found its environment unsafe under relentless media scrutiny.
  • He alleged the BBC cut off direct contact after suspending him from both its tour and his Radio Wales show, saying support came only via his lawyers.
  • The Welsh tenor recounted how the fallout from multiple scandals plunged him into suicidal thoughts before friends and family intervened.
  • He disputed that a tour PR apology had his approval and clarified that a comment at a photocall was a joke directed at co-star Jamie Borthwick, not Janette Manrara.
  • Evans will launch The Wynne Evans Show on his own website next week and confirmed his engagement to partner Liz Brookes.
