Wynne Evans Escapes to Dubai with Girlfriend Following Strictly Backlash

What Happened?

WYNNE Evans, known for his role in Go Compare, left the UK for Dubai with his girlfriend Liz Brookes after facing criticism for an inappropriate joke at a Strictly event. The 53-year-old was removed from the tour for using an offensive term during a launch event in Birmingham.

Getaway to Dubai

Witnesses at Heathrow airport saw Wynne looking downcast as he checked in at the First Class desk with his girlfriend. An insider shared that the holiday is a much-needed break for the couple amidst the scandal.

Controversy Surrounding the Incident

Reports suggest that Wynne's comment, which he claims was a light-hearted reference to a co-star, led to his removal from the tour. The incident sparked comparisons with another cast member's explicit message that went unpunished.

Strained Relationships

Following the backlash, Wynne felt unsupported by his co-star Jamie Borthwick, who reportedly distanced himself from the situation. Wynne's efforts to clear his name include submitting evidence to the BBC to prove his innocence.

Support from Friends

Despite the challenges, Wynne received private support from his pro partner Katya Jones and fellow Strictly stars, while feeling let down by Jamie's response to the situation.
