Wynne Evans cheered on by guests at a dinner as Strictly star breaks cover to return to public stage amid ongoing probe
FORMER Strictly star Wynne Evans has returned to the public stage — as a BBC investigation into his alleged sexual slur continues.
The opera singer, 53, was cheered by guests as he spoke at a dinner to mark 59 years of Tenby Male Choir in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
GoCompare ad star Wynne hailed the “wonderful” evening, during which he was elected their honorary president.
The former Strictly contestant was axed from the dance show’s tour over an alleged sexual slur to professional dancer Janette Manrara.
The Welshman insisted he did nothing wrong and said: “It’s been a manipulation and totally changing the narrative of private conversations.”
Writing on Facebook, he said: "Brilliant night celebrating 59 years of Tenby male voice choir who have amazingly made me their president."

Supporters begged for him to return to his show on BBC Radio Wales.
One said: "We don’t understand why we can’t hear you on Radio Wales Wynne- it’s a disaster for all your listeners - just ‘cos you had a sense of humour."
Another added: "Looks like a good night, glad you enjoyed it Wynne Evans sending big hugs, miss you so much on the radio."
In a statement earlier this month Wynne said: "Hi everyone. It’s me. Lush to see the sun shining! Thank you everyone for your support I promise you I have done nothing wrong, it’s been a manipulation and totally changing the narrative of private conversations by the press.
