New Strictly crisis after Wynne Evans caught making vile sexual comment about Janette Manrara
THE BBC was facing a fresh crisis last night after a Strictly Come Dancing star was caught making a vile sexual comment about a host.
Singer Wynne Evans, 52, was recorded suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.
His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.
He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.
Wynne previously came under fire in last year’s series when he was seen groping his dance partner Katya Jones, but they dismissed it as a joke.
Father-of-two Evans pulled out of a Glasgow performance yesterday, citing an ankle injury.

But he told The Mail on Sunday: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
BBC and Strictly Live producers said: “We have made it clear to Wynne we do not tolerate such behaviour on tour.”
Janette’s spokeswoman said she had been “unaware of this comment”.
