Wynne Evans says 'my partner is' as he's grilled about Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans said: “My partner is” during a candid chat about the BBC competition show.
Welsh opera singer Wynne appeared on ITV daytime show This Morning to discuss his show stint after appearing on other reality formats including Celebrity MasterChef. Now he’s set to take to the dance-floor to compete for the coveted Glitterball trophy.
Speaking to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, he admitted: "I'm absolutely terrified. I've done one of those wees in your pants, those accidental ones. But I'm like that, constantly. Also at the same time I'm like a competition winner – any moment now they're going to ask me to leave the studio because that moment has passed."

Ben asked him: "You have been training, you've been doing a few bits and pieces. We find out who your partner is this weekend. Were you excited by the partner you've got, would you like to tell us who it is?"
Wynne responded: "I'd love to tell you who it is, and my partner is..." before cheekily cutting himself off, admitting: "But I can't tell you! I don't want to spoil the surprise.
"What I love more than anything is watching people online [speculating]. At the moment I'm with Nick Knowles!" Ben joked: "That's the power couple we didn't know we needed!"
Cat chimed in with: "We did see the pictures of Nick Knowles coming out of training. It looks hard work, I've got to say. It looked very hard."
Cheekily ribbing his pal, Ben added: "Nick looked a bit of a shambles, if I'm being honest. I'm good mates with Nick so he won't mind me saying it!"
Fans have been desperate to know who Wynne's partner is, with plenty predicting Amy Dowden will be teamed up with the singer after her absence last year while battling breast cancer. On Reddit, some fans have suggested Jowita Przystal – while another echoed: “Wynne and Katya Jones!”
One Internet sleuth thinks they’ve figured it out as Katya and Michelle Tsiakkas both had Spotify playlists made named after a celebrity dancer. They revealed: “Katya and Michelle both had Spotify playlists found each with 1/2 songs in them, named ‘Wynne’ & ‘Jamie’ respectively.
“Katya had Dancing On The Ceiling by Lionel Richie. Michelle had Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys.”
