BBC viewers were given an insight into Wynne Evan’s mindset before the Strictly controversy surrounding him began in his travel show All At Sea.
The 53-year-old opened up to his co-presenter, Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page.
For those who have watched this week, All At Sea shows an emotional chat between the presenters where the Go Compare front man opens up about his mental health.
Filmed weeks before Wynne appeared on Strictly, the show sees the pair visiting some of their favourite places in their homeland of Wales.
The BBC has come under some scrutiny for continuing to air the show amid the fallout of Wynne’s controversial comments that have seen him axed from the Strictly tour.
It seems the beautiful surroundings of his favourite places helped clear his mind and enabled him to speak out about the troubles he’s faced in the past.
Talking about the experience of making the travel show, he says: “I’m finding it quite cathartic, I haven’t felt anxious or depressed on this trip at all.
“I’ve totally been in different mindset and it’s actually been really good for me to have a reboot.”
Speaking to Joanna he admits that he often feels that he’s putting on a persona – and he wants to drop the “clown” act.
He added: “There’s an opera called Pagliacci which is about the clown entertaining people, and when you take the make-up off it’s a very, very different person underneath.
“I suppose that’s my goal. I wanted to be the same person on air and off air, that’s the journey I am on.”
The Sun tonight revealed that following his well publicised decision to take a step back from his work at the BBC and elsewhere, he’s returned to Wales where close friends are rallying around him.
A source said “Wynne is surrounded by people who are supporting him and the BBC have assigned him someone to talk to.”
“He is incredibly apologetic and knows what he says was misjudged. Wynne’s Strictly co-stars have all rallied and are backing him all the way.
“They all love Wynne and have a lot of time for him. Janette has nothing but affection for Wynne. They just want him to be alright.”
This all comes after the singer and broadcaster was filmed making remarks to Janette Manrara about a “spit roast” during a group photo for the Strictly tour.
Wynne’s brother Mark Llewelyn Evans has also voiced his support, taking to X to say: “I want to express my unwavering support for him during this challenging time.”
The All at Sea series is available to stream on BBC Iplayer

Згідно з новим дослідженням, складні організми, у тисячі разів менші за піщинку, відіграють вирішальну роль у формуванні масивних екосистем і впливають на клімат Землі.
