Strictly star Wynne Evans breaks silence on 'spit roast' scandal calling it 'heartbreaking'

   

Wynne Evans has broken his silence on the 'spit roast' scandal that saw him suspended from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour and his subsequent departure from the BBC show

Strictly Come Dancing's Wynne Evans has finally spoken out about his contentious "spit roast" quip, asserting he was pressed to make an apology. The 53-year-old Welsh broadcaster and operatic tenor categorically refutes that the comment, directed at a female presenter, was lewd in an exclusive with The Sun.

Back in January, Wynne Evans faced controversy when he was recorded seemingly alluding to a ménage à trois with host Janette Manrara. He has now broken his silence and shared with The Sun the profound distress the episode has caused.

He clarified: "'Spit-roast boy' was a nickname we all gave Jamie Borthwick because he could contort his legs over his head like a spit-roast chicken."
