So, what’s going on in Wynne’s love life? Here, MailOnline takes a look at his romantic history:

Strictly’s Wynne Evans found love again with Liz Brookes (seen together) after the breakdown of her 16-year marriage left him contemplating suicide

Wynne previously revealed he hit rock bottom amid his depression, stemming from the end of his marriage to Tanwen, the mother of his two children, in 2016.

Last week it was revealed Wynne had found love again after the breakdown of his 16-year marriage left him contemplating suicide.

The opera singer has been in a relationship with events manager Liz Brookes, 50, since the start of this year.

Wynne previously revealed he hit rock bottom amid his depression, stemming from the end of his marriage to Tanwen, the mother of his two children, in 2016.

But Wynne is now dating fitness fanatic Liz, who is said to have helped him lose weight before Strictly.

A source told The Sun: “Wynne and Liz met at an event and are taking things slowly, but he is excited about the direction their relationship could take.

“He’s in a much better place now than when his marriage ended. It’s like night and day – and he’s so happy.

Away from the camera, Wynne struggled with her mental health and battled depression and loneliness for years before speaking out about her struggles in an effort to help others.

To mark the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, Wynne told BBC Radio Wales of the split: “It was almost like heartbreak, but you can’t mourn someone who’s still there.

“So it really affected my mental health, my confidence and my ego – it totally changed me as a person.”

Wynne became the main talking point of Saturday night’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing when her professional partner Katya Jones appeared to awkwardly move her hand away from her waist.

Wynne is now dating fitness fanatic Liz, who reportedly helped him lose weight before Strictly.

Wynne revealed he lost more than seven stone after hitting “rock bottom” amid his depression, resulting from the end of his marriage to Tanwen in 2016 (in 2021)

Wynn continued: “It made me aware of being alone. And even though I was only 46, I had this irrational fear of dying alone. I had very dark thoughts and very dark days where I contemplated all kinds of terrible things.

“I think what I’m saying is obvious, but I don’t want to say it because some people find it distressing. I can talk about it now, but at that moment nothing would help me. I realized I wanted to end my life and I did stupid things.

Wynne shared that, realizing he needed help, he made an appointment with a psychiatrist and began taking medication.

He also said that fresh air and exercise helped him keep depression at bay, but he readily acknowledged that it might not work for everyone.

During an appearance on This Morning in April, Wynne said: “I was always fat, I thought, “I have to do something.”

‘I had difficulty washing myself and going up stairs. My mental health hasn’t been great over the last five or six years, and this has really helped.

The father-of-two added that he continued to work in radio during this difficult time: “The slogan of my show is ‘cheer up Wales at 1 p.m.’ but I was going through the worst depression. depression clinical”.

“I thought about suicide, I tried to put it into practice… I didn’t see a way out; I didn’t see any way to be happy again.

Wynne is known and loved by millions of people in the UK for playing Italian tenor Gio Compario, the former face of GoCompare, a Welsh financial services comparison company.

In conversation with Mind – the mental health charity – he explained: “On paper I had everything, a good job, I was on the radio every day, I worked for GoCompare. ..”

“But the reality was very different, I felt alone, I could feel alone in a room full of people.”

He also gave advice on coping mechanisms for those who are struggling, saying: “It’s the little things that help, it’s a small thing to just pick up the phone or walk by and ask ‘How are you?’, it’s tiny, but it’s so important.
