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!"

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."
