Renowned opera singer and former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star Wynne Evans has confirmed the surprising end of his engagement to fiancée Liz Brookes, a mere few weeks after publicly announcing their joyful news. This sudden development has sent ripples through the entertainment world, leaving many to ponder the swift turn of events in what appeared to be a blossoming relationship.

Evans, 53, and events manager Brookes, 50, began their courtship last year, with their engagement revealed in June through a heartfelt social media post. The Welsh tenor had shared an image of himself proposing to a visibly surprised Liz, accompanied by the excited declaration, “Big news… I got engaged! 💍”

The confirmation of their split emerged from a source close to the couple, indicating that Wynne and Liz had quietly broken off their engagement several weeks prior to the public acknowledgment. The source further elaborated on the finality of their separation, noting Wynne’s current efforts to re-enter the dating scene and his public description of the relationship as “not healthy,” signifying a definitive celebrity split.

This recent relationship upheaval follows a period of public scrutiny for Evans, particularly after he was involved in an incident where he was reported to have joked about a ‘spit roast’ during a ‘Strictly Live’ tour event with presenter Janette Manrara. The revelation of this gaffe reportedly brought relief to Brookes, who was no longer with him when the news surfaced, adding to the narrative of entertainment news controversies.

Evans had issued an apology following his removal from the ‘Strictly Live’ tour, expressing deep regret for the “pain my inappropriate action caused.” Both Evans and professional dancer Katya Jones had dismissed the furore as a “silly joke” that went awry, yet it underscored a period of recurring public relations challenges for the singer, often highlighted in showbiz reports.

Further complicating matters was another public incident involving Evans and ‘EastEnders’ star Jamie Borthwick in a video, adding to the list of public relations challenges faced by the ‘Strictly’ alumnus. These incidents, while seemingly separate from the relationship, contributed to the broader narrative surrounding Evans’s recent personal life, frequently becoming fodder for entertainment discussions.

Despite these preceding turbulences, the proposal in Morocco had been a moment of apparent joy and commitment. Evans had shared the romantic details, recounting how he secretly purchased an engagement ring and proposed over champagne, highlighting Liz’s unwavering support through difficult times. However, the unexpected split now overshadows these tender memories, marking a significant chapter in the personal life of the prominent entertainer.
