Wynne Evans Statement

[Darran]

I’ve thought long and hard about whether to post this, but I think I owe it to my amazing Wynners and supporters to speak up.

Recently, a Daily Mail journalist — who shall remain nameless, because I wouldn’t wish the kind of pressure I’ve been under on anyone — changed the tone, context and meaning of a video involving me, and ever since it's felt like I’ve been caught up in a narrative that’s been shaped to suit a particular agenda — not the truth.

She later posted a handwritten letter to my home, asking to “set the record straight” — which felt like an admission on her part that the original story wasn't true to begin with. I chose not to engage, hoping things would settle. But they haven’t.

I regularly perform for charity - donating my fee to the good causes, and today I did one of these shows for a wonderful Welsh charity, Women In Wales, that supports children’s charities and projects in Wales. The journalist in question has written to the charity and in today’s newspaper suggesting I shouldn't be performing for them, sensationalising my support for the charity into Daily Mail click bait.

I’ve spoken in the past about my mental health. I’m in a stronger place than I have been, but I’d be lying if I said this hasn’t affected me hugely. We’ve all seen the impact that relentless pressure and public misrepresentation can have on a person’s wellbeing — no matter how strong they might appear. So I’m asking The Daily Mail to please stop spreading these misleading stories. The constant harassment and bullying must stop.

There's a lot more to say, but for now I'm going to sign off with positivity. Here's a link to the amazing Women In Wales I performed for earlier - where you can read about the wonderful work they do https://womeninwales.org.uk/

If you hadn’t had interactions with your “amazing Wynny” you’d have been all over the Daily Mail stories, lambasting him from Cimla to Carmarthen

Well if he’s found guilty I’d surgically remove his prominent hand.
Lives in the real world me see.

All these pervert celebrities play the mental health card and claim that they're the real victim.

It’s well documented that he’s struggled for quite a few years now but in general I get your drift.

People are allowed to be sex pests if Darran likes them.

Wynners?? FFS, he should be flogged to within an inch of his life for that, no matter what else he’s done.

What’s the score anyway? Has he been ‘doing a Katya’ again?

He’s a known quantity. Strictly were warned so they were at fault but as the show thrives controversy they took the risk. If that FACT were to come out and be proven there would be more than the self-pitying, obnoxious, unfunny, entitled Go Compare man for high jump.
