STRICTLY Come Dancing’s shamed Wynne Evans has been spotted holding hands with his girlfriend after the pair decided to give things another go.
The Sun was first to report how the Go Compare singer and partner Liz Brookes had rekindled their romance – just weeks after the opera star’s exit from Strictly’s tour and his BBC Wales radio show.
Wynne, 53, was given the boot from the live events after he made a crude sexual remark to tour host Janette Manrara, 41.
He was heard suggesting a threesome with mum-of-one Janette, using the derogatory term “spit roast.”
The scandal prompted Wynne and Liz’s relationship to deteriorate, and they split in January over his “lewd behaviour.”
Yet after patching things up, the pair were spotted running errands while holding hands.
They wore almost identical outfits of beige jumpers, jeans and tan boots, with Liz wrapping up in a Barbour jacket.
Wynne, wearing yellow-rimmed glasses, was seen turning towards her as they enjoyed a natter.
He then broke out into a rare smile as they left the Sainsbury’s store in Cardiff and make their way home together.
The Sun was first to report how the pair were giving things another go – and back living together.
We told how Liz is backing Wynne’s decision to take legal action against the BBC after it axed him over a sexual comment.
A source previously told us: “Wynne’s departure from the tour and his radio show was a really tough time and it put his relationship with Liz under strain.
“They have now reconnected and Liz is completely supporting Wynne.
“She is back in his house in Wales and they are very much a couple
“These past few weeks have been hell for Wynne but to have Liz by his side has made all the difference.”
Their reunion came as The Sun reported that Wynne was set to take the BBC to a tribunal.
‘Grope’
Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist.
Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem.
In joke
They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer.
The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke”.
Crude joke
Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a “crude” joke to one of the show’s make-up artists.
Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin “looked like a vagina”.
A source said: “It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.”
Vile comment
Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.
His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.
He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.
Wynne has apologised saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
Friends insisted his “spit roast” remark was misconstrued.
Yet we reported this weekend how the showdown with the BBC had been delayed.
Dad of two Wynne is sadly no stranger to a TV scandal.
Wynne previously came under fire in last year’s Strictly series when he was seen groping his dance partner Katya Jones, but they dismissed it as a joke.
He then told how he had been left “heartbroken” over the backlash, which came when he was seen with his hand around professional partner Katya‘s waist.
She was also seen refusing to high-five the singer – sparking rumours of a fall-out.
The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke.”
Despite fans demanding the pair clarify exactly what “the joke” was, the pair did not elaborate further.
He was then accused of making another distasteful remark towards a make-up artist on the long-running reality show.
A COMMUNITY has been left fuming over roadworks in the area that they claim are leaving routes “jammed constantly” and causing “insane” traffic on the school run.
Locals in south Dublin have hit out at traffic jams and disruptions to businesses on Bakers Corner in Deansgrange that are caused by roadworks.
The work, which only started at the beginning of this month, is part of an Active Travel Scheme which aims to provide 2.8km of high-quality pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
And although the roadworks are proposed to continue in the area for another two years, and the works at Bakers Corner expected to take at least three more months, locals have already blasted it for the chaos it has caused.
Labour Councillor Carrie Smyth said that she has received a number of questions on the work and confirmed that it is the beginning of the installation of the Dun Laoghaire Central Project.
But taking to the comments, members of the public blasted the project as a “disaster”.
One person said: “Nine days later and mostly all that’s happened is hundreds of cones everywhere. Why remove existing left hand lanes?
“Other than to make life more difficult and cause even greater traffic chaos. All local roads are in s****. Maybe my tax money should be spent on fixing pot holes first!!”
Another said: “It’s good to have the update but there had to have been a better way to plan the traffic flow during the works, god help anyone needing emergency services near there.”
A third person added: “Sick of all these disruptions for cyclists while us car users pay road tax and they pay sweet f all.
“The roads in the borough are jammed constantly can’t get anywhere in good time.”
One mum hit out and said: “I have no option but to drive as I have three small kids and my local bus route is useless and doesn’t drop me anywhere close to where we need to go.
“The traffic on the school run is now insane because of this.”
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has confirmed that, as part of Clonmel Enterprises Ltd’s public engagement and communication plan, a public meeting will be held to inform local residents and businesses about construction activities.
They said “everyone is welcome” to attend the meeting in the Holy Family Parish Resource Centre in Bakers Corner at 7:30pm on Thursday.
Residents will have the opportunity to voice their concerns to both the council and the contractor at the public meeting.
The first phase of work at the Bakers Corner junction is expected to continue for three months.
A new temporary traffic signal arrangement has removed the left turn slip lane from Rochestown Avenue onto Kill Lane, but left turns continue to be permitted.
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council said: “While works are ongoing there will be a temporary loss of capacity at the Bakers Corner junction that will cause significant disruption.
“Although traffic management plans will strive to minimise the extent of this disruption, it is advised that members of the public should, where possible, take alternative routes to avoid the area.
“Works updates will be posted to the website as they are available.”
