Wynne Evans' travel series All At Sea with Joanna Page was pulled from its usual Monday night slot amid his exit from the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.
The Go Compare star parted ways with the tour after reportedly making an explicit remark about Strictly star Janette Manrara during the tour’s press launch.
Amid the controversy, the broadcaster also announced he was temporarily stepping back from his BBC Radio Wales show.
However, his TV series had continued to air—until this week.
Monday’s scheduled episode was replaced by a special celebrating EastEnders’ 40th anniversary.
The long-running soap is marking the milestone with additional programming, including EastEnders: 40 Years on the Square, in which Ross Kemp reunited with past and present cast members.
Fans of All At Sea won’t have to wait long, as the show will now air on Wednesday at 8:30pm instead.
Last week, it was reported that Evans is preparing to take legal action against the BBC after feeling "knifed" by bosses following his removal from the Strictly live tour.
The Sun alleged that the 53-year-old believes his reputation has been unfairly damaged after he was axed from the tour over the controversial remark.
Sources claimed that Evans has hired a crisis PR expert and is seeking legal advice as he plans to challenge the decision. He has reportedly insisted that his remark was not aimed at Manrara, and a source claims other tour members were aware of this context.
Meanwhile, he has since been reportedly fighting to hold on to his lucrative deal fronting the Go Compare insurance ads, a position he has held since 2009 and said to pocket him £200k a year.
The opera singer was given his marching orders after being caught on video making an inappropriate remark at the press launch.
After the incident hit headlines along with reports of other concerning behaviour for which he is said to have be warned about, Evans issued a grovelling apology. He also said he intended to take time out from his BBC radio show to “prioritise my wellbeing”.
After it was confirmed that Evans would no longer be part of the live tour, he issued a statement saying: "I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.
"I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.
"Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me."
In light of the furore, JB Gill, who starred on the latest season of Strictly, discussed the “tough time” Evans has been going through and shared his hope that he can “come back” from the scandal.
Asked about whether he thought Evans could recover from this, he told The Sun: “I hope so, I’ve not been in direct contact with him, but I think he’s going through a bit of a tough time at the minute. Obviously I’m wishing him well and hoping he’ll be able to come back.”
