Wynne Evans has reportedly hired lawyers after he was axed from the Strictly tour.
The Welsh star, 53, was caught making a sexual joke about his co-stars Janette Manrara and Jamie Borthwick last month.
Following the backlash, Wynne exited the current show tour. He also released a statement expressing his remorse, and revealed he was stepping back from the spotlight.
Now, it’s been claimed that Wynne has “been in a bad way all week” following the scandal, and is seeking legal advice.

Wynne’s inappropriate remark, which was caught on video, took place during the Strictly Live Tour press call in January.
It was also said in earshot of Janette’s husband, Aljaz Skorjanec, and regarded a threesome.
Announcing his decision to step back shortly after, Wynne said: “I’ve agreed with the BBC that I’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.
“I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection,” he then added.
