Opera singer Wynne Evans has left his BBC radio show, several months after he made “inappropriate and unacceptable” comments at the Strictly Come Dancing live tour launch.
The 53-year-old, known for his role in GoCompare insurance adverts, was part of the tour in January, having competed on last year’s series.
Since January, a number of guest presenters have filled his programme on BBC Radio Wales during his absence.

On Friday, Mr Evans announced that the BBC had “decided not to renew [his] contract”.
“That show wasn’t just work – it was home. It was us,” he said.
“We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family.
“Thank you for welcoming me into your homes. Into your hearts.”
The singer from Carmarthen, West Wales, announced he would now launch The Wynne Evans Show online between 9am and 12pm every day.
During last year’s series, Mr Evans and his professional dance partner, Katya Jones, apologised for a “joke” which saw her move his hand from her waist during the show.
