Wynne Evans axed by BBC after Strictly scandalWynne Evans has confirmed he has been axed by the BBC(Image: BBC) After months of Strictly Come Dancing scandals, Wynne Evans has been axed by
the BBC, our Showbiz team reported this afternoon. The Go Compare star revealed that he has not had his contract renewed and will not be back with the BBC for his radio show - and thus has
decided to continue to do his radio show away from the BBC.
It comes after the TV personality hit headlines during his time on the dance show, where he was shown grabbing his professional partner Katya's waist before she pushed his hand away, but
he later insisted it was a joke. He then came under fire for using the term 'spit roast' to Janette Manrara during a Strictly photocall but he later insisted it was directed at Jamie
Borthwick and nothing to do with Janette.
As a result of the comment, he was axed from the Strictly tour - and then a video emerged of him sending a sex toy to his co-star Jamie, which both were heavily criticised for. In an
emotional statement, he said: "My beloved Wynners, From the very depths of my heart — thank you. These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every
word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know.”
"It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won’t be returning to my radio show. I’m gutted. That show wasn’t just work — it was home. It was us. We laughed,
we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family."

Brits caught in 'inhumane' airport chaos as passengers fight and vomit in crushBrits making a getaway to Tenerife for half-term found themselves trapped in sweltering queues amid a lack of
resources(Image: TikTok / @mattandhol) Our Travel team has been following the latest updates on the Tenerife South Airport chaos, after British travellers found themselves trapped in
two-hour queues and "inhuman" conditions at the start of the school holidays. Last Monday night, more than 500 people found themselves packed into a waiting area at the Canary Islands travel
hub.
They waited for hours to pass through the security as a bottleneck formed by two checkpoints, each staffed by two National Police officers. Top Spanish officials will now hold an urgent
meeting after the tourists faced "inhuman" conditions at the start of the school holidays.
Many were held on a sweltering plane for 45 minutes, only to disembark and find broken escalators and lengthy queues for passport checks. Becks Gravil was one of those swept up in the chaos.
It took her family two hours to leave the airport after landing at 8.30pm. "Never in my life have I ever seen it this bad," she explained.
"There was fighting, people being sick, people fainting - all crammed in like sardines. What should have been an hour from landing to Adeje turned into four hours. What a day!"

Paul Doyle LIVE: Liverpool parade suspect in courtPaul Doyle, 53, appeared tearful as he entered the courtroom this morning (Image: PA) Our News team has been working around the clock to
cover Liverpool parade crash suspect Paul Doyle’s appearance at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court this morning. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the 53-year-old is accused of two counts
of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and two counts of causing unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
He is also accused of two counts of attempted unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one count of dangerous driving. Doyle shook his head
in the dock as the prosecutor told the judge he drove "deliberately at the crowd" and "used his vehicle as a weapon".
Police previously said 79 people were injured when a car drove into supporters on Water Street at around 6pm on Monday, with seven people still in hospital when Merseyside Police revealed
his charges yesterday. Doyle will appear at court again on August 14 for plea and trial preparation hearing.

Prince Harry 'so disappointed' by Diana sisters' blunt take on MeghanPrince Harry was left upset after Diana's sisters couldn't see Meghan's similarities to his late mother(Image: Anadolu
via Getty Images) There’s never a quiet day for Prince Harry, and it has emerged that the Duke of Sussex "was so disappointed" when he introduced Meghan Markle to Princess Diana's two
sisters, our Royal team reported. Harry had hoped Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes would have similarities to his mother, who died when Harry was just 12.
However, although Harry believed Diana would have been "over the moon" about his relationship with Meghan, he was upset with her sisters' reaction. They reportedly did not see the same
character traits in the two women and Harry, 40, suffered a further blow as Lady McCorquodale and Lady Fellowes "thought Meghan would not fit in with the Royal Family."
Article continues below Regardless, Harry married his partner soon after in 2018 and has gone onto have two children with the former actress. The insights have come about in the book
Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, written by royal biographer Tom Bower. He penned: "Harry assumed that Diana's family and friends would see a similarity between
Diana and his fiancée. Both, he said, shared the same problems. He was so disappointed."
