Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans has apologised for an “inappropriate and unacceptable” remark he made to a woman during the show’s live tour launch.
The 52-year-old Welsh opera singer – who is famous for his role in GoCompare insurance adverts – has been touring with the live show after competing with professional dance partner Katya Jones last year.
He was heard making the remark to a woman in a video filmed during the launch event on 16 January, the Mail On Sunday reported.
“My language was inappropriate and unacceptable for which I sincerely apologise,” Evans said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the Strictly live tour and BBC Studios said: “We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints.
“We have made it very clear to Wynne that we do not tolerate such behaviour on the tour.”
Evans missed dancing on the tour in Glasgow on Saturday due to an ankle injury and shared images of his bruised ankle in an Instagram story.
“Ankle’s getting a bit better, it was great to be able to sing in Glasgow tonight, even if I couldn’t dance, hopefully back tomorrow,” he said.
“But watch this space, I’ll let you know in the morning. See how the swelling goes down, and all that kind of stuff, thanks for all the lovely messages, amazing.”
