Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans broke down in tears during his first live television interview since his Strictly Come Dancing scandal.
Appearing on This Morning on Wednesday (11 June), he spoke for the first time about being dropped by the BBC after apologising for making “inappropriate and unacceptable” remarks during the Strictly live tour launch last December.
He told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: “I was at my lowest ebb, I wanted to end my life. I would have if I hadn't been surrounded by people.”
Ben Shephard read a statement from the BBC which said: “We provided comprehensive duty of care for Wynne that included support by wellbeing professionals.”
