Opera singer Wynne Evans says he is “disappointed” about what he says were “lies” told about him in media coverage during his appearance in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The BBC Radio Wales presenter became the eighth star to leave the show after his Charleston failed to impress judges in a dance off at Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Sunday.
The 52-year-old Welshman, who found fame in insurance adverts, had been caught up in controversy with dance partner Katya Jones earlier in the series after what they called a “running joke” backfired.
“I’m still astounded that people are allowed to write any, for want of a better word, lies that they want,” he said.
