WYNNE Evans has released the FULL apology video he filmed backstage at Strictly, after he was ordered to cut it short following “gropegate”.

It comes just a day after Wynne, 53, accused the BBC of abandoning him in the wake of a series of controversies that erupted during and after his time on Strictly Come Dancing.

Today, Wynne has released his apology video in full, after he was accused of inappropriately touching professional dancer Katya Jones during rehearsals.

He claims he was told to cut the video by the BBC, and so fans never saw or heard the whole truth about what happened.

On This Morning yesterday, Wynne revealed him and Katya had planned the moment that caused such a stir, and she dragged him to the cameras as they stood in the gallery with Claudia Winkleman.

He said: “Katya said to me, right you put your hand on my waist, I’ll move it back we’ll see if anybody picks it up. And boy did they pick it up. She drags me saying, ‘let’s get down the front’.”

Admitting there had been errors made, he said: “I totally understand why people were upset by that and I apologise.

“I don’t want to sit here today coming across as a victim because I’m not — I’m naive.”

He admitted they saw the backlash online almost immediately and he insisted they make an apology video on social media that night.

“Katya says to me, ‘Have you seen what people are saying on Twitter, Instagram?’ …

“I’m sat in make-up afterwards and I go, ‘Oh my word this is terrible.’

“I say, ‘We need to make an apology video.’ 

“So we did — it was 50 seconds long.”

He claimed the BBC made them cut the video down, which he believed was the wrong decision. 

“They said just make it ten seconds,” Wynne told the hosts. “So of course it turns into some sort of hostage style video.

“It was just a body language experiment that was picked up on.”

Now to prove he did in fact make a longer apology video, Wynne has released it.

The video features both him and Katya backstage at Strictly, addressing the backlash of “gropegate” and revealing the truth behind the incident.

In the video, Katya kicked things off and said: “Hello everyone. We felt the need to clarify something.

“We find it quite fascinating how people take time to look into in such detail every gesture, every look.”

Continuing Wynne said: “So we thought we’ll mess around. And we said, ‘Oh I’ll put my hand on your waist, you pretend to move it away and let’s see who notices it.’

“And now everybody thinks I’m a weirdo.

“But really I promise you I’m not. And we’re doing this high ten thing as well where she blanks me from a high ten.”

Katya then said: “It’s all sort of planned just to see….”

Wynne added: “…if anybody notices. And like lots of people noticed.”

Katya then continued: “But we need to clarify that it’s all just messing around.

“It’s quite funny but not. It’s not funny.”

Wynne agreed: “It’s not funny.”

Katya then clarified: “He’s not a creep.”

“I’m not,” Wynne replied, before Katya added: “But he’s a brilliant dancer.”

The video ended with Wynne, who said: “Thanks babes.”

Wynne captioned the video with: “The video that was too long for @bbcstrictly @bbccymruwales I think this tells it as it was.”

Fans flocked to share their sympathy for the star, with one saying: “Terrible the way you’ve been treated, Wynne. Stay strong.”

Another added: “This should have been shown in full!!!”

This one said: “Why didn’t they show us this – this almost destroyed you.”

The Sun has reached out to the BBC for a comment.

During Wynne’s This Morning interview, host Ben Shephard read out the following statement from the BBC: “For the avoidance of doubt, the video in question was filmed twice.

“All parties agreed at the time that the second more concise version would be better suited for social media.

“We know that people on social media have a very short attention span.”

SPEAKING OUT

Yesterday’s appearance on This Morning was Wynne’s first public TV appearance since the Strictly scandal erupted.

During the interview, the singer claimed he had not been contacted by the BBC after being axed from his Radio Wales show.

The corporation said he was offered a dedicated contact at the BBC and was offered “continued” mental health support since his contract concluded.

“I haven’t heard from the BBC since I got suspended, personally, they’ve only spoke to my lawyers”

“I just think that sometimes mental health is talked about … and sometimes I fear that it’s lip service that they give.

“Mental health is still a really grey area — where we can say we’ve got that policy in place, but actually you need to look after people with mental health issues.

“Because in the flip of a light switch, the light can go out.”

Wynne also used the interview as an opportunity to address several incidents that generated headlines during his time on the Strictly live tour.

He spoke about the now-infamous “sex toy” incident involving fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick.

“We’re on tour, spending 24 hours a day with people, you get to know people really well,” he said. 

“It was a joke that went too far. He [Jamie] had been talking about this thing backstage — everyone in the dressing room was like, lets get him one.

“I ordered one off Amazon, and as soon as it arrived, it never left the dressing room, it went straight in the bin. The joke was over.”

DARK DAYS

It comes after Wynne told The Sun he wanted to take his own life in his darkest moments.

He only found out he’d been fired by the BBC after reading it in The Sun – and days later ­discovered his BBC pass was deactivated without warning.

He told us: “One of the things I was disappointed with the BBC about is I’ve spoken openly about my mental health, I’ve made programmes for the BBC about it, done stuff for Mental Health Day.

“I’ve done long interviews for them where I’ve talked about wanting to kill myself. 

“Nobody should use that as an excuse if it’s not what they’re going through. But I’ve catalogued my mental health for years and I’ve been really open about it, so it was really hard and I felt like I was pushed to the real end.

“But I am feeling a lot stronger now.”

THE UK will be lashed by lightning, hail and “sudden” floods as the Met Office issues six thunderstorm warnings.

Meanwhile, temperatures are set to soar to a staggering 30C ahead of the devastating weather on Saturday.

Strong winds of up to 50mph are expected in Wales, as the storm sweeps across the UK. 

Up to 20mm of rain could fall in just an hour, leading to fears of “sudden” floods. 

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.

“There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.

“Although many places within the warning area may not see any impacts, torrential downpours could bring 30-50mm of rain.”

As a result, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning to residents in Wales and Northern Ireland on June 12. 

However, the worst of the weather is expected on Saturday.

Huge swathes of the UK, including the south west, west midlands and the North, along with Wales and Northern Ireland, will be placed under a yellow warning.

Heavy rain and flooding is expected in all of those areas, presenting a risk to life.

Meanwhile, as the storm batters the country, temperatures are also set to rocket up. 

Driven by humid air brought over from Iberia, the peninsula occupied by Spain and Portugal, highs of 30C are expected. 

The hot weather will arrive on Friday, leading the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to issue an urgent yellow warning.

From Thursday 9pm to Sunday 8am, the east of England, London, the South East and the East Midlands will remain under the yellow warning. 

The hot weather could cause an increase in risk to health for individuals over the age of 65 and for those with pre-existing health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. 

A spokesperson from the Met Office said: “As temperatures rise this week, it is possible heatwave thresholds could be reached in some parts of the UK, particularly the northwest Midlands, northwest England and northeast Wales, however it is very dependent on cloud cover later this week, so it is not a certainty.

“This warm spell will feel different to the fine weather we experienced in May as the humidity will be much higher, making it feel more uncomfortable. 

“Additionally, while in May the nights were still fairly cool, overnight temperatures this week are forecast to remain fairly warm, which can disrupt people’s sleep.”

Since the start of 2025, the UK has been rocked by bizarre weather patterns which have seen temperatures exceed those in Ibiza. 

Also, the country has weathered several storms including Storm Herminia and Storm Kathleen.
