Wynne Evans lands first job since Strictly tour axing – alongside another very controversial star
OUSTED Strictly Come Dancing star, Wynne Evans, will be performing with another axed star in a new role.
Wynne, 53, will be one of the headliners alongside former Strictly pro dancer, Giovanni Pernice at the Wight Proms festival.
The Welsh tenor was sacked from the Strictly live tour and suspended from his BBC Radio Wales show last month following accusations he used inappropriate language.
He was also now reportedly axed from his lucrative GoCompare advert deal.
The Wights Proms festival will run on the Isle of Wight from August 12 – 17.
Wynne is headlining the final night of the Proms where he’ll sing with G4 singer, Mike Christie, and the Wight Proms Orchestra.
Giovanni will headline the Saturday night performance, where he will talk about his life and career.
The announcement of their headlining gig was made to the official Wight Proms Festival Instagram account where people shared their thoughts.
“Great line-up! Well done Wight Proms,” wrote one person in the comments section.
“Come on Wynne, missing you x” added another.
And a third wrote: “brilliant Wynne.”
Wynne was sacked earlier this year a sexual comment during the tour’s press launch and accusations he used inappropriate language to pro dancer Janette Manrara.
But Wynne has vowed to fight to save his reputation and told friends he would take the BBC to a tribunal if he lost his radio job.
He also reportedly felt he’d been knifed by the BBC over his Strictly tour axe.
Most recently, Wynne shared a cryptic post about the “truth” as he fights to save his career.
Taking to social media this week, Wynne shared a close-up grinning selfie as he went about his morning routine and the hashtag “Truth will out” despite it appearing to have no connection to the other messages in his post.
Just a few hours later, Wynne made reference to the truth once more.
The opera singer shared a comment from a fan which read: “We all miss you.”
Wynne then replied with: “I miss you all very very much ‘TruthWins #Wynners.”
