He’s also a distinguished singer who performs all over the world and has close ties with the Welsh National Opera, having performed in numerous classic roles from Nemorino in L’elisir d’amore to Jaquino in Leonore.

Wynne’s lucrative career has seen his self-titled limited business rack up an impressive £761,000 in capital and reserves.

The latest filings to Companies House, which were submitted earlier this year, show its coffers have swollen by just over £150,000 in one year.

Strictly competitors each get a flat rate of £25,000 for signing up to the show, regardless of their fame, but that can increase to up to £50,000 depending on how far they progress in the competition.

Success on the show often leads to money-spinning opportunities elsewhere and is perfect for growing a celeb’s profile.

Earlier this week we revealed Wynne and his professional dance partner Katya Jones have been rapped over the knuckles by BBC bosses for a viral incident that happened during Saturday night’s broadcast.

Show veteran Katya, 35, was seen removing Wynne’s hand as it slid further round her stomach in the section of Strictly when co-host Claudia Winkleman talks about what’s coming up next.

That came minutes after he was seen holding his arms up for a double high five from Katya, only for her to reject him, looking disgusted.

On Monday night’s BBC Two Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two, Katya insisted that the controversy had overshadowed their performance “for absolutely no reason”.

She added: “Quite frankly I actually can’t bear sitting here watching this man being portrayed as someone he’s not.

“Those that have doubts, you guys have got it wrong.

“So hopefully this will be the end of it.”
