- Opera singer Wynne Evans has been dropped by the BBC after a string of controversies, including an "inappropriate and unacceptable" remark during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour launch in December.
- Evans apologised for the remark, reportedly a lewd comment made to EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick about presenter Janette Manrara, and took a break from his BBC Radio Wales show and the Strictly live tour.
- The BBC confirmed that Evans' contract would not be renewed, stating there are "currently no plans to work with him".
- In 2024, Evans and his Strictly dance partner, Katya Jones, had to issue an apology for a moment in which the former was shown awkwardly moving his hand from her waist during a live episode.
- Evans has defended himself against claims of misogyny, announcing plans to launch his own online radio show.
