Wynne Evans returning to radio for ‘amazing community' who ‘supported me'
The 53-year-old announced he had been dropped from his BBC Radio Wales show in May after apologising for using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. The Welsh opera singer said he will present The Wynne Evans Show from next week, live every weekday from 9am to 12pm on the website Evans said of the show: 'This show is for my amazing community – The Wynners – who've supported me through thick and thin. 'After so many messages and calls asking me to come back, I knew I had to do something special. 'This show is my way of giving back – a space where we can come together every morning, share a laugh, play the music we love, and just be ourselves. It's more than a show – it's a proper family.' The programme will be a mix of music, chat and guests hosted by the singer, who is best known for his appearances on the insurance adverts. Earlier this year, he apologised for language that he called 'inappropriate and unacceptable' after The Mail On Sunday reported that Evans was heard making a remark to a woman in a video filmed during the Strictly launch event. It is understood he was given a warning over the remark by tour producers. In January, he said: '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.' The singer, who won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef, told the Sun on Sunday earlier this month that the Strictly comment was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast but was a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. He told the paper: 'I didn't see the statement. 'Old spit-roast boy' was a nickname for Jamie Borthwick. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not any of these things.' Evans added: 'And so I went: 'I'm so sorry', and that was taken as a formal apology, so the press team issued a statement. I didn't see it. 'When I read the apology within the context of the story as it had been written, I was absolutely horrified.' In May, Evans claimed in an interview with the newspaper that he had not seen the apology statement before it was issued, an assertion believed to have been dismissed by the BBC It is understood any statement issued on Evans' behalf by the BBC was fully approved by him, and the singer also posted his own statement on Instagram in which he apologised. During his time on Strictly, there was controversy over footage showing him placing his hand on his professional partner Katya Jones' waist, which she moved. They both apologised claiming it had been a 'joke'. The Wynne Evans Show will launch on June 16.

BBC radio star lets rip expletive outburst live on air after burst of cramp
A BBC star had to 'profusely apologise' after an expletive outburst was mistakenly heard live on air while presenting his lunchtime radio show A BBC radio presenter had to apologise after a huge blunder led to him swearing live on air. After speaking to listeners, BBC Radio Derby host Ian Skye was left embarrassed when his expletives were heard live on air when he thought he had cut from his segment. Ian told listeners to message in if they had any requests. However, as the show's jingle began to play, stunned listeners would have heard an in-pain Ian curse in agony. In the background, the presenter wails: "Ow, f***ing hell," before the show cuts back to the presenters chatting after a song had played. As his co-host joked they had been on a training course the day before to improve their presenting skills, they said: "I don't think they suggested suddenly getting unbearably agonising cramp and shouting really loud on the radio." Ian stuttered in response, saying: "No, that's probably not what I should have come in and done today." He then added: "Can I just say, if before that amazing song from Kate Bush, and I say if. You'd have had to be deaf if you didn't hear a rude word. "I really profusely apologise. You know when something happens and it's just instinct. My very, very calm producer said 'you're still on the radio, Ian." After TV critic Scott Bryan shared the clip to his Twitter /X page, users were left in hysterics. One user simply replied with three crying with laughter emoji faces. Another said: "I don't [think] this will be going up on BBC Sounds with swearing in it." They then questioned: "Didn't it happen to Radio 2s Sara Cox Once?" The incident comes days after fans of The One Show were left stunned as Lulu appeared to swear on live television. While reminiscing about her career with the presenters, the iconic pop star had a slip of the tongue. However, it didn't go unnoticed by viewers with keen hearing. While there wasn't an immediate apology on air, the reactions of the presenters were unmistakable as they processed the unforeseen gaffe. At the time, Lulu was sharing an anecdote about a conversation she had with Tina Turner. She quoted: "And Tina, I have to tell you something else. Tina said, 'I love it, it is just my life story' and I went, 'Hey girl, it is my f***ing life story'." With a rueful smile, Lulu added, "I didn't say it straight to her face, though," which led to Alex slowly nodding, utterly speechless. Viewers picked up on the moment and took to social media to vent their feelings. "Did I hear her right?," one stunned viewer questioned. Another, who was clearly entertained by the mishap, humorously commented: "Lulu just dropped an f bomb."
