Wynne Evans is reportedly preparing to take legal action against the BBC after feeling "knifed" by bosses following his removal from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.
It is reported that the Go Compare star, 53, believes his reputation has been unfairly damaged after he was axed from the tour over a controversial remark directed at host Janette Manrara made during the tour's press launch, prompting backlash.
Sources claim Evans has since hired a crisis PR expert and is seeking legal advice as he plans to challenge the decision. He has reportedly insisted that his remark was not aimed at Manrara, and a source claims other tour members were aware of this context.
Meanwhile, he has since been reportedly fighting to hold on to his lucrative deal fronting the Go Compare insurance ads, a position he has held since 2009 and said to pocket him £200k a year.
Executives have reportedly held crisis meetings about his role, and the singer has also stepped back from his BBC Wales radio show in the wake of the controversy - and now he is considering taking the BBC to a tribunal.
