Wynne Evans axed from GoCompare ads after Strictly controversy

News summary

Wynne Evans, the face of GoCompare since 2009, has been dropped from future advertisements after making inappropriate sexual remarks during the Strictly Come Dancing tour. His comments, which included a lewd reference to co-star Janette Manrara, led to his removal from the tour and suspension from his BBC Radio Wales show. GoCompare has reportedly found it difficult to continue working with him, highlighting that his presence in current ads has become problematic. Evans has stated that he plans to seek legal recourse and has prepared a defense dossier, claiming that the comments were taken out of context. Meanwhile, he has expressed deep remorse for his actions and is focusing on his wellbeing. The ongoing fallout from this incident has not only affected his advertising career but also his broadcasting role, leaving his future uncertain.
