Wynne Evans to take time off from BBC Radio Wales show

BBC Radio Wales presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans is taking time off from his show.
The move follows controversy emerging over the weekend surrounding the presenter, who was filmed by a newspaper making comments about his TV show colleagues.
Comedian Robin Morgan, who has covered on BBC Radio Wales before, was heard on Wynne’s show this morning.
Wynne’s normally on-air from 9am weekdays, and the current online schedule suggests he’s back on this Wednesday.
A BBC spokesperson told RadioToday: “Wynne is taking some time off from his show on Radio Wales. Robin Morgan will be presenting in his place.”
