Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans will be taking time off from his BBC Radio Wales show. It comes after he apologised for making an inappropriate remark at the live tour launch

Tributes are being paid to a veteran BBC radio presenter who has died after an illness. Andy Ball, from Wallasey in Wirral, was a presenter, reporter and part of BBC Radio Merseyside's management team for nearly 30 years. The station said: "We're sad to have to tell you that our friend and colleague Andy Ball has passed away."

Broadcaster Wynne Evans will be "taking time off" from presenting his show on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Wales has confirmed. It follows controversy around Evans' behaviour as he apologised for what he called an "inappropriate and unacceptable" comment during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour launch earlier this month.

The Redmen TV's Dan Clubbe spoke to BBC Radio Merseyside about potential signings in the Janaury transfer window: "I would like to see a new defensive midfielder. Ryan Gravenberch has been absolutely exceptional, but the alternative in that position is not ideal.

"It's a massive game for us and a big opportunity, if we can win the top of the table looks even better from a Liverpool point of view." "I'm happy to put my neck on the line and say a Liverpool win. This team normally comes good on the big nights and it's a big one tonight.
