Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans has reportedly split from his girlfriend, Liz Brookes, after just under a year together. The opera singer began dating the events manager last year after his 16-year marriage broke down.
Liz supported Wynne during his time on the BBC show, including after he was embroiled in a scandal over a "joke" in which Katya Jones moved his hand from her waist.
In another moment, the professional dancer appeared to not want to high-five her celebrity partner, which they called "a running joke".
According to a source, Liz was "humiliated" by the controversies. They told The Sun: "Liz always knew he was a bit old school, and actually liked the fact he seemed rough round the edges. She just assumed it was all part of his charm.
"But Wynne seemed to develop a particularly close relationship with Katya and seems to have gotten carried away which many suspected contributed to 'gropegate' happening...It was very difficult for Liz, but she continued to back him throughout the rest of the contest."
The source explained that the pair separated before the Strictly Live Tour began, adding: "It's not clear exactly when they split, but friends say that when his latest lewd gaffe was revealed at the Strictly Live Tour launch she was relieved they were no longer together."
