ANGRY Strictly Come Dancing fans have called for Wynne Evans to be ‘pulled’ from the Live Tour after he made a lewd comment to his co-star.
Wynne, who turned 53 today, was caught on camera as he made the sexual remark to tour host Janette Manrara during a photo call.
The Welsh warbler was hauled over the coals by bosses for making the crude comment and he issued an apology.
But although he has accepted a break from his BBC Radio Wales show, Wynne is still continuing on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.
Strictly fans are shocked that the Go Compare legend has not been dropped and say ‘a warning is not enough’.
Writing on Reddit, one Strictly viewer said: “I don’t think a warning is enough. He shouldn’t be allowed to say something so vile about a stranger and continue to make money from the tour.”
Another added: “He’s revolting, shouldn’t even be on the tour with behaviour like that. It’s clear that it isn’t ‘misunderstandings’ or one-offs, this is who he is.”
And a third demanded: “He needs to be removed from the tour immediately.”
Wynne’s comment, referring to Janette and their tour co-star, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, was caught on camera and came to light over the weekend.
He made a joke using the hugely demeaning term ‘spit roast’ during a tour photocall in Birmingham earlier this month.
Wynne has since apologised for making the remark, saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
Janette’s spokeswoman said she had been “unaware of this comment” Wynne had made.
And BBC and Strictly Live producers insisted: “We have made it clear to Wynne we do not tolerate such behaviour on tour.”
Wynne has now accepted an offer by the BBC to take some time away from his BBC Radio Wales show.
He is being replaced on the airwaves by comic Robin Windsor.

According to MailOnline, they are worried about Wynne’s “low spirits”.
The publication states he has taken a break from BBC Radio Wales ‘amid the furore’, and because he is still grieving the loss of his brother Huw, who passed away earlier this month.
Wynne is apparently feeling the physical strain of being on the road with the live UK tour, as well.
An insider told MailOnline: “Wynne is being supported by his co-stars, they’re making a big push to ensure he’s ok as they’re worried about his low spirts.
“He’s had a tough few days and with it being his birthday today, they’re making a real effort to show he’s not alone.”
