In a surprising weekend schedule shake-up, BBC Radio Wales has abruptly cancelled the popular show hosted by opera sensation Wynne Evans, best known for his iconic Go Compare advertisements. The move has had an immediate domino effect, axing the beloved 'House for the Weekend' competition segment that was a cornerstone of his programme.
The decision, which was confirmed by the broadcaster, means Evans will no longer be welcoming listeners every Saturday and Sunday morning. More significantly, the unique competition that offered winners a luxurious short-term stay in a stunning Welsh property has been scrapped entirely.
A BBC spokesperson stated the change was part of a wider review of their weekend schedule, aimed at offering a fresh sound to their audience. While they expressed gratitude for Wynne's contributions, no replacement for the popular 'House for the Weekend' feature has been announced.
The news has been met with disappointment from loyal listeners who enjoyed the light-hearted banter and the chance to win a dream getaway. Evans himself had become synonymous with the feature, often sharing in the excitement of the winners.
This marks a significant change for the station's weekend lineup and leaves a notable gap in its programming. The future of the prize, which involved partnering with a local estate agent to provide a beautiful home for the weekend, now remains uncertain.
