AIBU to feel sorry for Wynne Evans?

And also I should add did you actually see her face in the moment in those clips? I just rewatched the clips on YouTube and she certainly doesn’t look “in” on the joke in the moment.
I think she’s covering up for his “stupidity”.

She might be saying it was her idea, but I find it strange that we have never seen her encourage other male celebs to do that in all of the previous series she has done, so it’s out of character for her. But yep, I’m sure it’s innocent sex toy sending Wynne that’s the poor victim of that minx Katya 🙄

I don't understand why he's seen as a creep now?

Katya openly admitted it was her idea to refuse his high five and move his hand away - she wouldn't be saying that if she felt he was a creep!

I think he's telling the truth about the spitroast comment being taken out of context and he's admitted he was daft to not realise the connotations.

The BBC threw him under the bus, and so did the media, for click bait.

But often times people don’t understand what has actually played out, just their interpretation of what the media reports.

Take Gregg Wallace - I have personal experience here, but reading countless comments on news articles at the time, people clearly thought his colleagues had taken offence to his clumsy jokes - but it was far more serious than that, instances of exposure as an example.

Proper investigation needs to be carried out & appropriate action taken.

Good question. I think there would have to be separate categories otherwise there'd be an uproar about diversity.

I don’t have any sympathy for him! He is a sexual predator who doesn’t learn!

BBC is the employer, they have a duty to their workforce to protect them from sexual harassment.

He’s a thoroughly unpleasant man if he can’t take responsibility for his actions!

@pimplebum "I am a baffoon who has made gaffs, inappropriate jokes and made bad impressions on people so I can relate and feel sorry for celebrities who are cancelled"

did those gaffes include unwanted touching and sexual jokes?

I don't feel sorry for him.

Yep . Let’s just keep turning the other cheek to all these sexist misogynist creeps. It’s ok if they are a bit of fun at times.Women should know their place and continue to serve their purpose as sexual objects for men who have a far higher opinion of themselves than is warranted. That’s how it’s always been. No point in trying to change things

I agree with this- I still think he should pay the consequences.

This.

He thinks he is a bigger celebrity than he actually is, which is: 'moderate opera singer / minor bloke off the telly'.

Exactly. He has something new to promote? That'll be why there are proposal stories in the papers today.

He thinks he is a bigger celebrity than he actually is, which is: 'moderate opera singer / minor bloke off the telly'.

As for the totally inappropriate, crass and sexually offensive comments to work colleagues that got him sacked, as far as I'm concerned he shot himself in the foot. It was his own stupid fault.

I didn’t see the interview today.

He struck me on Strictly as someone who was the overweight, awkward kid at school who one day found out that he could make the cool, sporty, attractive girls and boys laugh. So he always played the joker, sometimes making them laugh and sometimes going too far and making them feel awkward. But he never grew out of that behaviour. Despite his good career (music, tv ad, radio show) and his two lovely children, he is still the plump kid on the periphery in his mind, keen for acceptance.

Yep. The series would be never ending, with constant supply of celebrity male pervs and pedophiles waiting in the wings. Like you said, depressing - but I'm afraid sadly true.

Though it would be deeply depressing to see what a vast array of options the casting directors had to choose from.

I think you're onto something. How about "Celebrity Perv Off"?

He had his second chance after the wandering hands episode. He blew it.

Umm it's not the audience who suffered the man's behaviour is it?

No sympathy for him, I've always thought he was creepy. And he's proved me right!

He is a manipulative liar. He tries to come up with alternative scenarios for why he talked of a spit roast with Janette. To claim that Jamie Borthwick (with whom he is obviously friends) is so bendy they called him spit roast boy, is laughable. Borthwick no doubt agreed with him coming up with this explanation, months later, and as he wanted to help Evans out. Borthwick is now in trouble himself for using an offensive term for disabled people. Evans needs to crawl away and learn how to be truthful.

Is this yet another man getting prime TV time to talk about how sad they are that they're now facing the consequences of their own actions? Let me get my tiny violin out.

I had to switch it off, I started watching but I couldn't cope with his bemused attitude to the whole thing, I lasted about a minute.
