Axed BBC star Wynne Evans reveals ‘fabulous’ new business venture in hometown after split from fiancée
AXED BBC star Wynne Evans is opening a wine bar and restaurant in his hometown.
He promises “MasterChef dishes” after winning the celebrity version in 2023.
The Go Compare ads singer, 53, has also pledged a “fabulous warm welcome” at the “Welsh House by Wynne” in Carmarthen, West Wales.
His business venture comes after he split with fiancée Liz Brookes.
A source said: “They’ve decided to have temporary voluntary time apart.
“He’s opening a restaurant focusing on Welsh food to distract from the Liz separation.
“He paid the Welsh House to take over their existing space.
“It’s a prime location in the centre of Carmarthen.
“He is trying to capitalise on his MasterChef win apparently.”
Announcing his restaurant plan on social media, he said: “Hello, Wynne here.
“This is my hometown of Carmarthen.
“It is ever-changing and one thing that is changing is the Welsh House.
“It’s going to become the Welsh House by Wynne.
“I promise you it will have MasterChef dishes on the menu, it’s going to have a fabulous warm welcome and I want you to come and see me, OK?
“It’s going to be the home of the radio show too.
“So I’ll see you soon. I’d better get cooking.”
Wynne started his own radio show following his BBC axing for making a crude remark on the Strictly Live Tour launch event.
He was dropped from the tour and his BBC Wales radio show was canned.
Bosses then axed his travelogue with pal Joanna Page, All At Sea, after just one season.
Wynne was also embroiled in a “gropegate” scandal when he appeared to place an unsolicited hand on the stomach of pro partner Katya Jones in last year’s Strictly.
He proposed to company boss Liz in Morocco earlier this year.
He was previously married to wife of seven years, Tanwen, with whom he has two kids.
His rep was approached for comment.
