Wynne Evans has revealed that he will no longer present his show on BBC Radio Wales.

Talking about his departure on Instagram, he thanked his followers and shared that the broadcaster “has decided not to renew my contract”.

The decision by the BBC comes after the Welsh opera singer's apology for using “inappropriate language” during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

Captioning the post on the social media platform, he said: “It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won’t be returning to my radio show. I’m gutted.

“That show wasn’t just work — it was home. It was us. We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family.”

Thanking his fans, he added: “From the very depths of my heart — thank you. These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know.”

Despite Evans’ BBC contract not being renewed, he has announced that The Wynne Evans Show is returning to Alexa, Google and will be available to listen on his website too.

The show will be live daily and run from 9 am until 12 pm.



Announcing the news in the same Instagram post, he wrote: “This is our next adventure. And I need you more than ever.

“We will have great music, my question of the day, the mystery voice, your soundtrack stories and so much more, because we have each other again. We have a new home. I’m bringing more presenters soon and I am sure you’ll recognise a few of the faces.

“Please — sign up for the newsletter, tell your friends, share the link, and help me make a noise so loud nobody can ignore it. Most of all, tune in. I will be there every day so let’s light it up together.

“I’m full of nerves. Full of hope. Full of love. Because when we show up for each other — like we always have — anything is possible.”

A spokesperson for the BBC told Newsquest: “Wynne Evans is not under contract with the BBC.

“He is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him”.
