Wynne Evans Talks BBC Disappointment After Strictly Scandals
Singer Wynne Evans is dismayed with the BBC after a rocky experience on Strictly Come Dancing, overshadowed by misunderstandings and controversies such as his notorious nickname for fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick and a questionable prank involving a sex toy. Despite the uproar, Wynne maintains his innocence and reflects on the significant emotional toll it has taken on him.
Wynne Evans, the singer and recent Strictly Come Dancing contestant, has voiced his disappointment with the BBC following a tumultuous ride on the series. His stint came attached with several scandals, and Wynne finally decided it was high time to spill the beans on all the chaos surrounding his experience.
The drama kicked off with what he dubbed an innocent nickname: “spit roast boy”. Apparently, he had used it to refer to fellow competitor Jamie Borthwick, who can apparently contort himself in a very chicken-like way. However, this light-hearted banter bit him back—fans went into a frenzy over it, accusing him of misogyny, and Wynne was left scrambling to issue an apology. He insists he didn’t mean any harm, simply referring to an inside joke among close friends.
Wynne reflected on just how “heartbreaking” this whole mess has been for him. “Spit-roast boy was a nickname we all gave Jamie because he could contort his legs over his head like a spit-roast chicken. I would apologize in a heartbeat if I’d intended any double meaning,” he lamented.
In addition to the spicy nickname scandal, the man faced attention during “gropegate.” This infamous incident erupted when eagle-eyed viewers spotted his partner Katya Jones moving his hand from her waist, leading to an avalanche of criticism. Seems like a simple mix-up, right? Well, Wynne claims this little shake-up was all part of a prank. Apparently, they concocted a master scheme involving body language experts. And yes, that plan went completely awry.
Wynne explained, “Katya says to me, ‘Why don’t we create our own body-language experiment?’ I naively replied, ‘Sure!’ We whipped up a video for the BBC, but their press team wanted something shorter—so we threw together a half-baked apology. And that was that.
Let’s not forget the cherry on top: the infamous sex toy stunt. Wynne admitted he sent one to Jamie as a prank. “In hindsight, probably not the smartest move,” he grimaced. He added, “We were all bantering about it in the dressing room, and before I knew it, there I was ordering it off Amazon. It was all supposed to be in good fun, but clearly, I was wrong.”
This whirlwind of antics followed the BBC’s internal investigation involving complaints about other dancers’ behaviours, with the whole thing leading to an organisational shake-up. Wynne, standing in the line of fire, remarked, “I wouldn’t say I was a scapegoat, but it’s tough for the BBC. They’ve had a lot to answer for, and they’re trying to fix that. Whether they owe me an apology—that’s up to the Director General.”
In the end, Wynne didn’t get quite the fairytale experience he was hoping for with Strictly. Lessons learned, though: don’t play with fire—or in this case, misguided jokes—especially when dance shoes are involved!
Wynne Evans has shared his disappointment with the BBC after a string of unfortunate scandals during his time on Strictly Come Dancing. He insists that his antics, including a misunderstood nickname and an ill-timed prank involving a sex toy, were harmless. As the BBC grapples with its own organisational turmoil, it remains to be seen whether Wynne will receive an apology for his treatment. In any case, he’s left feeling unheard and a bit jaded by the experience.
