Wynne Evans snubbed his own birthday meal with his Strictly co-stars hours before it was revealed he has been axed from the tour


Wynne Evans missed his own birthday celebrations on Monday night, with his Strictly co-stars heading on a night out without him.

A source told MailOnline the break was sparked by the furore surrounding his comment, plus the fact he is still mourning his older brother Huw, who died earlier this month, combined with the physical toll of being on the road. Dr Charlotte Proudman, founder of Right to Equality, told the Mail: ‘Welcoming Wynne Evans back into the workplace alongside the woman he objectified suggests sexualised comments about women carry no real consequences. The incident was captured on video and audio by a Mail on Sunday reporter at the official launch of this year's tour at the Birmingham Arena ten days ago, and brings new embarrassment to the BBC after a string of scandals.
