Voted one of the most annoying television adverts of the year, it’s difficult to forget GoCompare’s “opera singer” advert and character creation “Gio Compario”. But the Welsh born opera singer – Wynne Evans – and acclaimed opera performer in his own right before the GoCompare advert, has gone into hiding.

Evans, now known by the masses for donning a tux and a long curly moustache rather than his credible operatic performance, has been refusing interviews and publicity calls for fear of a public backlash.
