The Go Compare advert singer, 53, launched into a bitter rant on his social media last night, before removing the upload this morning.

He was partnered with pro dancer Katya during last year's Strictly before he was axed for saying a sex slur backstage.
Fans have noticed that the Russian choreographer, 36, hasn't been engaging with Wynne's posts recently - even when he tags her.
Posing for a disgruntled-looking selfie at around midnight last night, Wynne appeared to take aim at his "connections" on the BBC dancefloor.
"Here's what I learnt from Strictly," he captioned the post. "If you think you've built a real connection, you haven't.
"You've paid for their time - and once the cameras stop, so does the care.
"But here, it's real. The people who listen, message, and laugh with me - you - are genuine. This isn't showbiz, it's community."
He concluded the caption saying: "And I'll always choose that."
Wynne added the hashtags "no pretence" and "real connection", leaving the post up till this morning when it was suddenly deleted.
Before it was pulled, fans had already raised concerns and asked him if he was taking a less-than-subtle swipe at Katya.
One asked: "Does your dance partner never get in touch anymore? If not that is so so sad."

While someone else said: "The way you were treated was absolutely disgusting. Your dance partner should have shouted from the rooftops in support of you.
"You deserve better."
A third commented: "Don't need your showbiz pals . Genuine people are normal Joe bloggs.. and we will say it how it is..x"
The Sun has contacted Wynne's representatives for a comment.
It comes after he recently opened up about his sensational axe from showbusiness for using the term "spit roast" as a nickname for Jamie Borthwick.

Appearing on Nick Ferrari's LBC show last month, Wynne said: "I said the word so I should have accountability for that, and I wasn't ready for that level of scrutiny, and I shouldn't have done it. And that's it.
"I wouldn't blame anybody other than myself.
"I totally take that as my responsibility and something that I shouldn't have done, and I will regret that for the rest of my life.
"At 53 you know, to lose all your singing work, to lose all your television work, to lose your radio show, it's not an easy thing to have happen to you, but it was my fault."
Wynne only found out he’d been fired after reading it in The Sun - and days later discovered his BBC pass was deactivated without warning.
Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry’s father Raymond dead at 66 as she breaks down in tears over their ‘emotional’ final words
TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry has revealed her father Raymond died at the age of 66 following a health battle.
The MTV alum opened up about grieving the loss of her estranged dad in Friday’s episode of her Barely Famous podcast.
Kailyn, 33, broke down in tears while contemplating her feelings about her father’s death, whom she had only met for the second time two weeks earlier.
Raymond was in hospice after suffering from stage four COPD, which is a lung disease that causes breathing problems.
The TV personality recalled getting a phone call from her aunt, revealing that he’d died, exactly 14 days after she flew to Dallas, Texas, to confront him at his bedside.
Kailyn admitted that she felt differently about her father’s death than she would about her mother, Suzi, whom she was also estranged from, if she died.
“It’s kind of interesting because I’m telling people that if they have that feeling to reconnect with someone to go do it, but I don’t have that for my mom,” the former reality star confessed.
“It doesn’t make me contemplate. It doesn’t make me want to change my mind. The only thing that I’d want to go talk to her about is sort of confront her with the information that my dad left me, and I believe him.”
Kailyn dove further into her visit with her father in a Patreon video released on Thursday, but she revealed on her podcast that her feelings toward her father had changed after learning he’d tried to see her, despite his 30-year absence from her life.
The mom of seven shared that she recently learned that her father’s distance from her was “court-ordered” after he “kidnapped” her as a child.
She also revealed the questions she asked her dad and what she learned about her half-siblings, and she’s currently waiting for the results of a DNA test he took to learn more about her family.
‘I’M SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT’
After previously admitting that she wouldn’t attend a funeral if there were one, Kailyn shared that her father was being cremated, per the TV star’s request, and she’s planning to gather with her family in Texas to honor his life in November.
Kailyn’s co-host, Kristen Hook, then asked the Pennsylvania native how she’s feeling, overall, since her father’s death, which prompted more tears from the podcaster.
“Monday was really hard for me. And it was weird because I’d cry and then I’d be fine and then I would cry and then I’d be fine as if nothing was happening,” Kailyn explained.
“But it’s weird because I do feel disconnected from him, but I’m so emotional about it, and I’m having a hard time understanding that part of it because I don’t understand why I’m emotional about it when I haven’t had a relationship with him my whole life, so I really don’t know.”
Kailyn later reflected on how her kids took their grandfather’s passing, and said they “didn’t know he existed,” and thought he was already dead.
Ramond also apparently didn’t have many feelings toward them either, as Kailyn revealed she showed him a picture of her children during their visit, only to be met with an unexpected reaction.
“I showed Raymond pictures of my kids and he said nothing,” the Coffee Convos podcast host recalled. “He literally said nothing. And I was like, ‘Are you gonna say anything?’ And he’s like, ‘What do you want me to say?’ That’s how matter-of-fact he is.”
THE FINAL VISIT
When she reflected again on her final visit with her dad, Kailyn confessed it was “closure,” though she didn’t feel they would’ve had a relationship had he lived longer.
She also revealed one of the last words her father told her: “You still look mad” at the end of their two-hour reunion.
“If I would’ve just had the opportunity to tell him that I’m not mad anymore, I really appreciate the time that you gave me…I don’t know if that would’ve made a difference for him or not,” Kailyn tearfully said.
“It’s more that piece of it is more for me, just to let him know that I’m not mad anymore, that part of it, that sucks.”
Fans were first introduced to Kailyn on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant, where viewers watched her meet her father for the first time.
The father-daughter pair didn’t see each other again until this past visit.
