WYNNE EVANS – MUSIC

Before Wynne Evans became known as ‘The Go Compare Man’, he was one of the most prolific classically trained opera singers in the UK. Throughout his 25-year operatic career, he has performed in opera houses from The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden to the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Paris Opera De Lyon. He has given more than 200 performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall, including playing the role of Piangi in the 25-year anniversary filmed performance of The Phantom of the Opera. He has also starred in The Tsarina’s Slippers, Otello, Rigoletto, La Boheme, The Cunning Little Vixen, Les Dialogues des Carmelites, Die Fledermaus, and Anna Nicole.

Wynne is also a confident concert singer, and has appeared in concerts such as the BBC Proms, and the Welsh Proms, has appeared on BBC’s Friday Night is Music Night, and has released three albums to date.

Wynne was delighted when he was invited to perform at Tottenham Hotspur’s grounds in front of 62,000 fans, and has since performed at over 20 Welsh rugby international games.

WYNNE EVANS – MEDIA

Wynne burst onto the non-opera scene in 2009, when he first appeared as Gio Compario on the Go Compare adverts. He has played the character ever since, and has made over 150 adverts for the company.

This screen presence has meant Wynne has been welcomed into our homes and he has since appeared on some of our best loved programmes. He has been seen on Songs of Praise (2019), The One Show (2020), Pointless Celebrities (2023), Celebrity Antiques Road Trip (2023), Christmas With Katherine Jenkins, and Celebrity Masterchef (2023) which he went on to win!

He is also a presenter on the radio, hosting a daily music and chat show on BBC Radio Wales, which is very often their highest rated show. He has also broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM, and BBC One Wales.

He is taking part in the 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing with professional partner Katya Jones.

WYNNE EVANS – MENTAL HEALTH

Wynne has been very open in the last year or so about his mental health issues. Following his divorce in 2016, Wynne hit rock bottom, leading to the start of a deep depression. At the start of Mental Health Week, he explained the split felt “almost like grief, but you can’t grieve for somebody that’s still there, so it really affected my mental health, my confidence, and my ego.” After seeking help, Wynne started to use exercise as a remedy, and has since lost more than 40kg in a hope to feel brighter. “My anxiety and my mental health is my superpower. Thanks to anxiety, I know exactly what to do when things go wrong.”
