Go Compare Star Sues Strictly Producers After Injury

Wynne Evans, the star of the Go Compare advertisements, is involved in a legal dispute with the producers of the popular dance show Strictly Come Dancing. Evans claims that during the show's live tour, he suffered a double fracture and two torn ligaments due to an incident on stage. He alleges that the production company's medical response was insufficient, leading to further complications. In addition to compensation for his injuries, Evans is also seeking £11,000 in outstanding fees. This legal action takes place against the backdrop of a recent scandal involving Evans, who made an offensive comment shortly before the incident. A source close to the situation stated, "He was basically strapped up and told to keep smiling and carry on. He was in agony." The incident highlights concerns about the welfare of performers and the adequacy of medical provisions in high-pressure entertainment environments. The case is likely to raise questions about the responsibilities of production companies towards their performers' well-being and the importance of appropriate medical support.
