Wynne Evans talks ‘tough days’ after Strictly axe as he issues ‘getting there’ statement

has detailed how “tough” it has been since being eliminated from . The Welsh opera singer was the latest celebrity to leave the dance compeition alongside Katya Jones.

Following his axe during Blackpool Week, Wynne has taken to social media to reveal how he’s been keeping himself busy now that he is no longer dancing on the show.

Posting on his official story a video of himself on a treadmill, he issued a statement and told his followers that he’s “keeping his mind busy” and “get back to Radio Wales.”

He also said that he’s “getting there” and informed his fans that now he’s off Strictly, he doesn’t “interact with as much people.”

The Go Compare advert singer was sent packing last week after his Charleston to ‘Les Toreadors’ by George Bizet failed to impress the judges.

He was up against ‘Gladiators’ star , 38, and her pro dancer Johannes Radebe, 37, in the dance off who did a salsa to The Communards hit to ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’.

When asked by host Tess Daly, 55, about his time on the show, Wynne said: “It’s been wonderful, I’ve got to say. I feel like it’s what ‘Strictly’ is all about. If I can come and do ‘Strictly’ and last until week nine, then anybody can get out there and dance and have a brilliant time.

“‘Strictly’ is such a brilliant family, such a precious family, that I want everybody here in this room and at home to look after it for the generations to come because it is a wonderful, wonderful thing.”

The Welsh star was previously involved in a “grope” scandal which saw him embroiled in a storm with pro dancer Katya Jones. During one episode, Wynne appeared to attempt to put his hand on Katya’s waist, with her brushing it off immediately.

The awkward exchange was widely shared on social media and prompted the pair to address the moment with an apology video, to which they insisted that it was “a silly joke.”
