Wynne Evans' final BBC show axed in another blow to disgraced Strictly star after it's revealed broadcaster received seven complaints from female colleagues over his conduct

Wynne Evans ' final BBC show has been axed in another blow to the opera singer after his radio show was cancelled. Wynne was dumped by BBC Wales after using vile sexual innuendo during the Strictly Live Tour and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones, who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show. After the BBC launched an investigation into his conduct, bosses decided not to renew his radio contract for his show. Now it's been revealed his travelogue series with Joanna Paige has been cancelled after just one series. The programme originally aired in February and March of this year and was placed on ice when Wynne was dropped from the Strictly tour before returning to screens. An insider told The Sun: 'Once the first series was slapped on ice, there was always a huge question mark hanging over the prospect of a second outing. The programme originally aired in February and March of this year and was placed on ice when Wynne was dropped from the Strictly tour before returning to screens 'Only now has the BBC publicly confirmed it won't be returning. 'It means that Wynne has no TV show or radio show with the Beeb, and effectively marks the end of their relationship.' The six-episode series saw Waynne and Gavin And Stacey star Joanna, 48, set sail on watery adventures across Wales' picturesque coastline. A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'There are no plans for a second series.' MailOnline has contacted representatives for Wynne for comment. Meanwhile, the Mail on Sunday recently revealed the BBC received seven complaints from women over Wynne Evans' conduct towards them, including one claim he made an inappropriate comment about a pregnant woman's breasts during a Zoom call. The revelations come just days after Evans protested on ITV's This Morning that there had been no allegations made against him. He appeared on the show earlier this month to tell hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: 'There has never been any complaints about me. Ever!' Wynne was dumped by BBC Wales after using vile sexual innuendo during the Strictly Live Tour and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones , who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show BBC Wales staff raised the seven separate grievances between July 2023 and August 2024, including a period after Evans, 53, was approached to appear on last year's Strictly Come Dancing. Four of the complaints were made before he joined Strictly, raising questions over why the dance show's producers signed him up. Three more were made after he had been chosen for the show. A report into his behaviour was prepared in January for a disciplinary hearing which he said he could not attend, citing mental health issues. With his TV and radio career in tatters, Wynne has turned his attention to a new business venture. MailOnline recently told how the dad-of-two has become an Airbnb host. He has listed the property in Llansteffan on the home rental site, just eight miles away from his home town of Carmarthen.
