Go Compare star’s £450k to stay tubby

HEFTY opera singer Wynne Evans is getting £450,000 to keep fronting Gocompare.com ads — but only after he agreed to NOT lose weight.

The Welsh singer, 38, — known for the deliberately annoying commercials — secured a further two-year contract.

But it included a clause stopping him from shedding weight. The dad of two, from Carmarthen, is now set to become a millionaire. In addition to the price comparison website ads, he has signed a six-figure album deal with Warner Records.

A source said: “There is a well-trodden path of big celebs getting famous and being unable to resist the vanity of losing weight. It was integral that the ad character, Gio Compario, retained his egg shape, so it was put in his contract.”

Wynne has recorded ten ads, but only seven have been shown so far.
