BBC viewers have slammed Wynne Evans’s new travel show after his crude comments on the Strictly tour.
The travel programme with Joanna Page debuted on Monday night – hours after he was replaced on BBC Radio Wales.

The six-part show, which sees the friends explore the Welsh coast, premiered just days after Evans issued a grovelling apology for using the crude term “spitroast” during a Strictly photocall in Birmingham.
Evans said over the weekend: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
Despite the apology, viewers have slammed the BBC for pressing ahead with his new series.
Outraged viewers took to X to vent their frustration, as one wrote: “Why are we being forced to endure Wynne Evans?
“Everyone hates the Go Compare ads, but the BBC seems determined to make him a thing.”
Another fumed: “Just a thought, BBC, but maybe this Wynne Evans #AllAtSea prime time claptrap could have been postponed for a while?”
“Wynne Evans… get him off my bloody telly,” ranted a third.
While another blasted: “They’ve taken Wynne Evans off air for a joke, but this will be glossed over with likely no apology.”
The comment, referring to Janette and their tour co-star EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, was caught on camera and published online.
That evening Wynne, also famed as the GoCompare ads singer, pulled out of a tour performance in Glasgow, claiming he had an ankle injury.
He did, however, sing on stage for the crowd instead.
This isn’t the first time Evans has sparked controversy.
During his stint on Strictly Come Dancing last year, viewers noticed professional partner Katya Jones halting his wandering hand during a live routine.
The pair later brushed it off as “a very silly inside joke.”
