Wynne Evans takes swipe at BBC just weeks after it cut ties with him
Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans parted ways with the BBC earlier this year and he's now taken a swipe at BBC Radio after having hosted a show on the station for years Former BBC Radio host Wynne Evans has taken a swipe at the radio station this week. It comes after he left his long-running show following a series of scandals whilst on Strictly Come Dancing last year and its subsequent live tour. It was announced back in May that Wynne, 53, would not be returning to his BBC Radio Wales show, which he had hosted since 2016. A spokesperson for the BBC said at the time that there were also "no plans" to work with him again. Wynne announced that he would instead host the Wynne Evans Show on other platforms. He then launched his new weekday radio show last month and later told fans that he had more than 40,000 listeners for the first episode. He has continued to promote the show in recent weeks and shared another message for fans on Instagram this evening. Wynne took aim at BBC Radio in a series of posts, in which he described the radio station as the "dark side". Alongside a cartoon of himself, the message for fans, who are referred to as 'Wynners,' read: "HELP!! We are looking for missing 'Wynners'!!! Did you previously listen to Wynne Evans on the dark side? (BBC Radio) are you missing his cheeky wit and charming charisma or do you just need cheering up in the morning? If so then tune into his new show available on iPhone, Android, Alexa and his website." Wynne shared the photo of his page. He wrote in the caption that accompanied it: "Let's find the missing Wynners - where are our friends that may be stuck on the dark side spread the word far and wide" He later shared a similar post on his Instagram Story. Wynne wrote in that caption: "Missing Wynners. Don't get stuck in the dark come and laugh and be in a place where the listeners are valued." The criticism comes after just weeks after it was reported that the BBC had cut its last remaining ties with him. It was confirmed last month that it has "no plans" for a second series of his travel show Wynne & Joanna: All at Sea. All at Sea, which launched on BBC One in January, saw Wynne sail along the southern coast of Wales with Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, 48. The first series ended in February and a spokesperson for the BBC told the Mirror last month that there are "no plans" for a second series. A source told the Sun at the time that the decision to not renew the show "marks the end" of a relationship between Wynne and the BBC. They said: "It means that Wynne has no TV show or radio show with the Beeb, and effectively marks the end of their relationship." Wynne competed on Strictly last year and was partnered with professional dancer Katya Jones, 36, for the BBC show. The pair ended up apologising during the series for what he described as them "messing around," including over a scene of him with his hand on Katya's waist. It was later reported, whilst on the tour earlier this year, that he had apologised for using "inappropriate and unacceptable" language amid reports that he used the term 'spit roast' to Janette Manrara, 41, at a photocall. Wynne has since insisted that it was instead part of a nickname for their co-star Jamie Borthwick, 31, and "wasn't meant sexually". Wynne subsequently left the tour and his radio show after the scandal broke in January. As reported at the time, he said in a statement then: "I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. "I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me." Then in May he announced that he wouldn't be returning to his BBC Radio show following his departure months prior. He said in a statement: "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." Wynne told fans: "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. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes. Into your hearts." In a statement at the time, the BBC said: "[Wynne] is not under contract with the BBC." The spokesperson continued: "He is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him."

Clare Balding moves to explain strange markings on Wimbledon star's back
Clare Balding moves to explain strange markings on Wimbledon star's back Ben Shelton beat Lorenzo Sonego 3-6 6-1 7-6 (7-1) 7-5 at Wimbledon to progress to the quarter-finals Ben Shelton and the marks on his shoulder and back (Image: BBC ) Ben Shelton is through to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time after his thrilling win over Lorenzo Sonego. American Shelton progresses to the last eight for the first time in his career and now faces the winner of Jannik Sinner and Grigor Dimitrov, who play this evening. The 10th seed won the match 3-6 6-1 7-6 (7-1) 7-5 and the Centre Court crowd certainly took to the US star, who played in a sleeveless white top. On his left shoulder were visible dark, circular markings which caught the eye of viewers, spectators and BBC host Clare Balding, who remarked while Shelton signed autographs: "Great stuff from Ben Shelton, he's a huge personality as well as a phenomenal tennis player. "He's into the quarter-finals for the first time. Goes one stage further than his dad Bryan who he was talking about there... those marks, by the way, on his shoulder, those are not tattoos, that's from cupping, it's bit like what the swimmers do and it really pulls the blood to surface." Cupping therapy is the practice of putting cups on a person's skin for a few minutes to create suction. The idea behind it is to draw blood to or away from parts of your body, helping with pain relief and inflammation. It is commonplace in others sports, too. Article continues below Shelton said post-match: "It was difficult. "I feel like every time I play Lorenzo Sonego, every time I need a big point he comes out with a highlight shot. Maybe it's the same vice-versa as well. It was a lot of fun. "I'm getting very comfortable out here on court one, I love playing in front of you guys. I was told that the crowds here at Wimbledon, before I came over here for the first time, were a bit quieter but I've got to say I didn't feel that today." He added that his father was his inspiration growing up. Bryan Shelton, who is also Ben's coach, was a professional player and reached the same stage at SW19 during his own career. "Definitely my dad," he added. "He was in the round of 16 here 31 years ago, give or take. He loved a serve and volley. "He had a big serve, he came forward all the time and he would like to see me come forward more than I am. My argument is that I think I'm better than him from the baseline. "He inspires the way that I play on grass." Ahead of the final game against his opponent, he revealed he was desperate for the set not to go the distance again. "I don't want to play another tie-breaker!" he admitted. "I didn't want to do it, especially against a guy who is serving the way he is. Usually you don't get the same chance twice, so I wanted to make sure I capitalised on the first one at 15-40. Article continues below "I'm happy with the way I played that last game. "I felt like that was my best tennis, my best returning, and that's what I'm going to need to continue in this tournament. For me to end the match with that game, it gives me a lot of confidence moving forward."

Wimbledon diary: Roger Federer in the Royal Box and Sonay Kartal picks a tattoo
Djokovic, who is bidding to emulate Federer's record of eight men's singles titles in SW19, recovered from a dismal opening set to defeat Alex De Minaur 1-6 6-4 6-4 6-4. The Duchess of Edinburgh, Michael and Carole Middleton – parents of the Princess of Wales – and King Frederik X of Denmark joined Federer to take in the round-four action from the Royal Box. Cricketers Joe Root and Sir James Anderson and comedians Michael McIntyre and Sir Lenny Henry were other notable Centre Court guests. ***Nick Kyrgios will be commentating at Wimbledon after all. The controversial Australian, who worked for the BBC in 2024 but was not selected for this year's Championships, has been announced as a co-commentator for TNT Sport's coverage of the men's and women's finals. Former British number one Dan Evans will also offer insight and analysis as part of the team. TNT Sports insists it is not looking to compete with the BBC but offer subscribers an 'alternative viewing experience'. *** Sonay Kartal has settled on a tattoo design to commemorate her memorable run to the Wimbledon fourth round. A post shared by Sonay Kartal (@sonay__kartal) But the 23-year-old Briton, who was beaten by Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Sunday, gave no inkling as to what the skin art will feature. Kartal already has 14 tattoos and was repeatedly asked about plans to add to her collection. 'Tattoo design has been chosen… Who wants to do the ink?,' she posted on her Instagram story. *** Jack Draper is already turning his thoughts to the rest of the season after his second-round exit – and the British number one has a lucrative date in his diary. By elevating himself into the world's top six, Draper has earned an invite to the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia in October. The inaugural edition last year saw Jannik Sinner emerge victorious, earning himself six million US dollars (approximately £4.4m) – the biggest prize in tennis history – while each of the six participants received 1.5m dollars (approximately £1.1m). Draper will be joined by Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz. 'I mean this is probably the first time he is watching me where I have won the match! The last couple of times I lost, so it's good to break the curse.' – Djokovic on playing in front of Federer. British interest in the singles draws rests solely on the shoulders of Cameron Norrie. The world number 61 faces back-to-back champion Carlos Alcaraz in a mouthwatering match up on Centre Court. Norrie is seeking to reach the semi-finals in SW19 for a second time after taking a set off seven-time champion Djokovic in a last-four loss in 2022. Alcaraz is the heavy favourite but did not look infallible during the opening week, dropping four sets across his four matches. Sunny with highs of 25C on Tuesday, according to the Met Office.
