Janette Manrara, star of Strictly Come Dancing, recently broke her silence on social media after becoming the target of a distasteful joke made by Wynne Evans.

The 41-year-old former professional dancer, who has been a beloved figure on the show, chose not to address the scandal directly but instead shared a heartfelt post about her recent experiences.

Janette Opens Up About Her Time With Family

Instead of focusing on the controversy surrounding Wynne Evans’ crude comment, Janette decided to highlight the positive moments in her life.

She took to social media to share how she had been spending time with her mother, Maritza, who had flown in from Miami to help care for Janette’s 18-month-old daughter, Lyra.

Janette expressed immense gratitude for her mother’s support, saying, “It really does take a village,” and added that having Maritza there was essential for her to continue working and performing.

She went on to post a series of sweet family photos, emphasizing how special the visit had been, especially since Maritza and Lyra don’t often get to spend time together.

Janette also shared how her brother, Aljaz, surprised them with a visit, making the reunion even more memorable.

“My heart was full,” she wrote, deeply appreciating her family’s involvement in her daily life.

Wynne Evans’ Apology and Departure from the Strictly Live Tour

Last week, Janette’s name had been thrust into the headlines after Wynne Evans, a tenor known for his role in the Go Compare ads and as a BBC radio presenter, made an inappropriate joke at her expense.

The incident, which was filmed, featured Wynne crudely suggesting a three-way sex session using a degrading term, which was heard clearly by reporters at the scene.

This led to an uproar, and Wynne was swiftly removed from his radio show and replaced by comedian Robin Morgan.

He was also reported to have been axed from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, with him later confirming his departure.

In a public statement, Wynne admitted that his actions had caused pain and pledged to take time off to reflect on his behavior.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused,” he stated.

Support for Wynne Amid Controversy

Despite the backlash, some backstage dancers have shown support for Wynne, recognizing the difficult period he has been going through after the death of his brother.

An insider close to the situation revealed that Wynne had received repeated warnings regarding his behavior, but had not responded as expected.

As he steps back from his public commitments, including the Strictly Live tour, many are hoping that Wynne will use this time for self-reflection and personal growth.

Meanwhile, Janette continues to focus on her family and career, enjoying the support of her loved ones during a challenging period.

Janette’s decision to share moments of joy in her life, rather than dwell on the negative, shows her strength and resilience in the face of public scrutiny.
