The 53-year-old opera singer was dropped from his radio show after he previously exited the Strictly Come Dancing live tour
Wynne Evans has shared a 'please' plea with fans after having his 'heart broken' over the BBC's decision to axe him from his radio show.
The 53-year-old opera singer - who is best known for appearing in the GoCompare adverts –previously exited the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, after it emerged that he had made a comment that was deemed sexually inappropriate during a photo call.
Wynne previously apologised for the mistake, which he insisted was not intended in the way it was perceived and has since spoken out in his first interview explaining the 'inside joke' with Strictly 2024 co-star Jamie Borthwick.
However, Wynne revealed last week that his one-year rolling BBC Radio Wales contract has not been renewed, following a four-month investigation into the comment made.
In a video on Instagram, 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."
A spokesperson for the BBC told MailOnline: “Wynne Evans is not under contract with the BBC. He is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him.”
However, Wynne revealed plans for a new show, which will air on a new app and website. He wrote on Instagram: “But here's what I believe with everything I've got: what we built cannot end here. So - deep breath - here goes... We're getting the band back together.
"The Wynne Evans Show is coming back, live every day from 9am - 12pm on a new app, on Alexa and Google (we don't have to say 'smart speaker' anymore!) and at www.wynneevansshow.co.uk.
"This is our next adventure. And I need you more than ever. We will have great music, my question of the day, the mystery voice, your soundtrack stories and so much more, because we have each other again."
He's since been sharing updates on his new venture. On Saturday, he shared a poster image for the new radio venture and said: "I would love everyone to sign up for news on the new show please please click this link."
Wynne also shared another post in which he detailed what fans can expect alongside his radio show - a new newsletter. He wrote: "Want the juicy behind-the-scenes chaos? The gossip? The 'Did he really say that?' moments?
"Sign up to my newsletter — it’s like the show, but with fewer jingles and more spelling... Tell your mates. Tell your dog. Tell that weird neighbour who always listens through the wall. Because let’s be honest… once a day still isn’t enough of me."
