has been hit with another scandal after and were both featured in an explicit 'sex toy video' during the live tour. According to , footage obtained by the publication shows the two celebrities being seen with a sex toy backstage whilst they were on tour together. The video, which was reportedly shared in the WhatsApp group chat of Strictly celebs, shows footage of Jamie holding the item and brandishing it backstage. The EastEnders actor was joking as Wynne practised his dance moves behind him whilst topless.

According to The Sun, an inside source said, "As soon as BBC executives were made aware of this shocking and immature footage being shared they formally addressed the issue and reminded the pair they had to act professionally.

"The men were acting extremely immaturely and inappropriately, considering it was a family show, and many cast members didn't share their crass sense of humour. Bosses were horrified and shocked, hoping to nip the issue in the bud, unaware the video had been shared more widely."

The BBC and representatives of Wynne and Jamie have been contacted for comment.

The video was recorded in January, two days after Wynne had made a crude comment during a photo call. The 53-year-old opera singer - who is best known for appearing in the GoCompare adverts - had been starring in the tour alongside his fellow contestants but quit after making a comment deemed sexually inappropriate.

It was then revealed that Wynne had used the sexually suggestive term "spit roast" to describe host Janette Manrara during a private joke with actor and former co-star Jamie Borthwick.

Wynne later apologised, saying: "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable for which I sincerely apologise." At the time, the BBC said: "We were not previously aware of the remark and did not receive any complaints.

"We have made it very clear to Wynne that we do not tolerate such behaviour on the tour."

Wynne later confirmed that he would take time off from his BBC Radio Wales show to "prioritise my wellbeing." He has only recently made a comeback on social media after weeks of silence.
