The BBC is reportedly conducting investigations into two fresh allegations that Strictly's Wynne Evans used "inappropriate" language in the workplace. It comes after the 53 year old was axed from the Strictly live dance tour which has been touring the country.

He had been caught on camera making a vile comment to tour host Janette Manrara, who is married to Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec. He reportedly said the sexual term 'spit roast' as she took her place for a photoshoot.

According to sources, since then the BBC has been informed of two other instances where concerns about his language were noted, The Sun reports. The first occasion reportedly happened during filming of his BBC Wales radio show.

The second incident reportedly occurred while Wynne was filming his BBC One travel series called Wynne & Joanna: All At Sea, which is airing now.

Wynne has apologised for his actions on the Strictly tour. He said he was taking some time out from his BBC Wales radio show amid the drama.

He said: "I've agreed with the BBC that l'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.

"Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me."
