On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Wynne Evans’ BBC travel show with Joanna Page has been postponed following his removal from the “Strictly” tour after he reportedly made an explicit remark about Janette Manrara.
Strictly Tour Controversy
A planned BBC travel show featuring Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans, best known as the “Go Compare” tenor, and actress Joanna Page has been pulled from the schedule amidst the fallout from his departure from the “Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals” tour.
The scheduling shake-up comes after Evans reportedly made an explicit remark about “Strictly” professional Janette Manrara during the tour’s press launch, leading to his subsequent exit. This incident has clearly had repercussions beyond the tour itself, impacting his other projects.
Evans, who had been set to explore scenic locations with Page in the new BBC series, now faces uncertainty regarding the show’s future. While the BBC has not released an official statement detailing the reasons for the postponement, the timing strongly suggests a direct link to the “Strictly” tour controversy.
The reported incident, which occurred during a press event, has cast a shadow over Evans’ public image. While details of the explicit remark remain largely unreported, the severity of the situation is evident in the swift action taken by the “Strictly” tour organisers and now, seemingly, the BBC.
Wynne Evans And Joanna Page
For fans of both Evans and Page, the postponement of their travel show is undoubtedly disappointing. The pairing promised a blend of Evans’ charismatic personality and Page’s warm, relatable charm, potentially offering a delightful exploration of various destinations.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of public gaffes, particularly in the age of social media and rapid news cycles. While the future of the travel show remains unclear, it highlights the importance of maintaining professional conduct, especially within the entertainment industry.
The BBC, known for its strict editorial guidelines, is likely assessing the situation thoroughly. While Evans has yet to publicly address the controversy in detail, the impact on his career is becoming increasingly apparent. Whether the travel show will eventually air, or if Evans will face further repercussions, remains to be seen.
