Wynne Evans' brother Mark shows his 'unwavering support' for the star and insists he 'has a heart of gold amid claims he's been axed from the Strictly tour after X-rated jibe'


The Go Compare star, 53, was caught on film by The Mail on Sunday making a vile sexual comment about one of the show's female hosts, it emerged on Saturday.
