Opera singer Wynne Evans reconciles with girlfriend Liz Brookes after Strictly sacking

Relationship mended after challenging times

WYNNE Evans has patched things up with girlfriend Liz Brookes after his Strictly sacking. Their relationship suffered following the opera singer’s exit from the live tour and his BBC Wales radio show.

Legal action against BBC

Wynne was accused of ‘groping’ pro partner Katya Jones during Strictly, but the pair later insisted it was a joke. Insiders reveal Liz is backing his decision to take legal action against the BBC after it axed Wynne, 53, over a sexual comment.

Support from Liz

A source shared with The Celeb Report: "Wynne’s departure from the tour and his radio show was a really tough time for him and it put his relationship with Liz under strain. They have now reconnected and Liz is completely supporting Wynne. She is back in his house in Wales and they are very much a couple. These past few weeks have been hell for Wynne but to have Liz by his side has made all the difference."

Legal battle ahead

Yesterday The Celeb Report reported that Wynne — the face of insurance comparison website Go Compare — was set to take the BBC to a tribunal. He was dismissed last month after making a comment about a "spit-roast" during the Strictly tour’s press launch in Birmingham. Friends insist the remark was misconstrued.

Fighting back

One pal said: "Wynne feels he has been treated unfairly and won’t go down without a fight. As well as an unfair dismissal, Wynne thinks he has a case for loss of earnings, as well as a potential breach of contract."

Allegations addressed

Wynne was also accused of "groping" pro partner Katya Jones, 35, during last year’s Strictly series. The pair later insisted it was a joke.
