Former Strictly Come Dancing Pro focuses on series Na Wynne Evans Scandal

Former Strictly Come Dancing Pro Dancer James Jordan publicly came out to support Wynne Evans, after talking about the harmful impact that the BBC show scandal achieved on his mental health earlier this year.

The Welsh Operazanger, 53, was tearful when he spoke this morning about sensational dumping of the strictly coming live tour about comments he made with host Janette Manrara. The ‘unacceptable’ joke referred to a trio with the dancer, 41.

He apologized shortly thereafter and said that he was very sorry for the pain that my inappropriate action caused ‘and would take a break from the public eye for’ self -reflection ‘and to’ prioritize my well -being ‘.

Jordan, 47, who danced to the show between 2006 and 2013, has now weighed to say that this morning he was’ deeply moved ‘by Evans’, in which he described how the scandal brought him’ to the darkest place of his life ‘.

Evans sat down with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley in the ITV studio and told them how he was followed by a crisis team for a month and that his friends, family and girlfriend prepared a schedule to ensure that he was not alone at any time when the attention would not stop ‘.

Jordan defended Evans’ controversial remarks and labeled them ‘clearly light-hearted or part of mutual chatter’ in a long-term Instagram post.

Jordan wrote: ‘It would be easy to remain silent, like many others, including some of the so -called Friends of Strictly who have not expressed his defense. But when I see that someone is being treated unfairly, I can’t stay still. ‘

Jordan, who is married to colleague ex-strictly pro Ola Jordan, added the part of the story that had made him the most of them “was the claims of Wynne that he was not contacted by the strictly coming dance team after his departure from the Tour.

He wrote that there is ‘not enough support’ for those who participate in the show, write: “The strict team often talks about kindness about the duty of care – they offer behind the scenes – but in reality that care ends when the cameras stop rolling.”

He continued: ‘It’s not good enough. The protection for both celebrities and professional dancers on strict being insufficient, and that must be tackled – publicly and urgently.

‘This show is an established, flagship show for the BBC that we all cherish. As long as it were to cherish and protect those who help make the success. ‘

Evans commented on Jordan’s message and said he had been ‘great’. He wrote: ‘Many of my strict friends are [sic] Afraid to support me publicly and I thank you as much as a ‘stranger’ to speak to my advantage if many others would remain silent. ‘

Metro contacted the BBC for comment.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC later this year.
