Wynne Evans insists ‘truth wins’ in rare social media update following BBC Strictly tour axe
Wynne Evans has shared some cryptic social media updates where he urged followers to “try and stay positive” whilst declaring that “truth wins” not long after his axing from the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
The Welsh opera singer, 53, appears to be making a fresh start after months of controversy.
Evans took to Instagram on Monday sharing updates about his fitness journey and social activities.
He first posted a photo enjoying gin with fellow Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins on Sunday.
The Go Compare star followed this with workout selfies, adding the hashtags “#truthwins” and “#wynners” to his posts.
His social media return suggests he remains determined to clear his name amid ongoing scandal.
Evans shared a post-workout selfie alongside his running stats from a 16.5km run, emphasising the mental health benefits of exercise.
“Sunday morning 30 mins done. So good for your mental health #truthwins #wynners,” he wrote.
His focus on exercise appears to be part of a broader effort to maintain his mental wellbeing during this challenging period.

The repeated use of “#truthwins” suggests he remains determined to clear his name amid ongoing controversy.
Evans remains absent from his BBC Radio Wales show, which is still being fronted by Robin Morgan two months after he stepped down.
When questioned last week about Evans’ potential return, the BBC simply referred to his January statement apologising for his “inappropriate and unacceptable” language.
The presenter confirmed in January that he was “taking some time out” from his radio show and the Strictly tour “to prioritise my wellbeing” when the scandal broke.
His absence from the airwaves continues despite reports that he “absolutely loves his job on BBC Radio Wales” and found having to step back “heartbreaking”.
Sources claim BBC Radio Wales listeners “love him” and have created social media pages to show their support.
According to reports, Evans’ legal team has compiled a 30-page dossier to present during showdown talks as he fights to keep his radio job.
A source told The Sun: “As far as Wynne is concerned, he has been wronged. He understands the language he used was not appropriate but it’s all been taken so out of context.”
The talks were allegedly scheduled for last month but were delayed due to Evans’ mental health struggles.
The insider added that the situation has “hit Wynne hard” and that he will “fight” to keep the job that means “so much” to him.
Evans reportedly believes his reputation has been unfairly left “in tatters” after the incident.
Evans was axed from the Strictly tour after making an inappropriate sexual comment to host Janette Manrara during a press event.
The father-of-two was also caught in an earlier controversy when viewers spotted his dance partner Katya Jones forcibly removing his hand as it strayed across her waist during his time on Strictly Come Dancing.
Despite the ongoing scandal, Evans is set to return to performing this summer.
He will join forces with another controversial Strictly figure, former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, at the Wight Proms festival in August.
