Inside Celebrity MasterChef winner Wynne Evans’ VERY quirky home complete with his opera singing alter ego’s moustache framed on the wall

Celebrity MasterChef 2023 winner Wynne Evans gave fans a glimpse into his quirky home on Instagram this week.

The 51-year-old GoCompare advertising star bought the 'practically abandoned' property after his divorce from wife Tanwen in 2016, before renovating and furnishing it in his own unique style.

In addition to colorful walls and striking works of art, his opera singing, alter ego Gio Compario's mustache, is framed and hanging on the wall.

The father of two children said The mirror 'It was a bit of a mess [when I first bought it] It's missing windows, pretty much abandoned, and I was at the lowest point in my life, so I remember thinking, 'What an idiot, why did you buy this house? It's a chain around your neck.'

The singer also has a large grand piano where he practices his singing, which is overlooked by a huge painting of himself in character from the Go Compare ads.

Meanwhile, his bright yellow bedroom features pop art prints of Are You Being Served characters, as well as a traditional Welsh blanket in tribute to his roots.

It comes after Wynne admitted he 'contemplated suicide' for years before appearing on BBC Celebrity MasterChef earlier this year.

The opera singer and presenter beat fellow finalists Luca Bish and Amy Walsh to top spot on Friday after impressing judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with his adventurous menu.

And in an interview after the show, Wynne talked about how the win was a particularly “poignant moment” for him, considering he tried to kill himself six years earlier.

Sharing his feelings after the win, he said: “When they gave me the trophy – I just get melancholy for a moment, don't I – I remember thinking, 'Six years ago I was considering… well, I was trying to commit suicide and now look at me. I'm standing here in a studio with the MasterChef trophy.”

'It was a very moving moment for me.'

Wynne has previously opened up about his past mental health struggles, revealing this year that he was at his lowest point following the breakup of his marriage.

He told BBC Radio Wales: 'I was going through the worst depression, clinical depression. I thought about (suicide), I tried to carry it out… I saw no way out; I saw no possibility of ever being happy again.'

Adding that he knew he needed professional help, he continued: “I felt suicidal, and it was horrible. I just thought: either I'm going to do something terrible, or I have to see a real psychiatrist.'

Wynne has since turned his life around, opening up about how his depression and anxiety are his “superpower” as he urged others to “do the work” to improve their mental health.

He added: “Life is about doing the work yourself. Once you put the work in, you're ready to roll with it…There's no right or wrong, but don't be ashamed.”

He earlier revealed his impressive weight loss after deciding to slim down when he had 'trouble climbing stairs'.

During an appearance on This Morning in April, Wynne explained why he decided to overhaul his lifestyle, admitting that his “mental health hasn't been great for the past five or six years.”

He said: 'I actually feel great, it's calories. I've always been fat, I thought: I have to do something.

It comes after Wynne admitted he 'contemplated suicide' for years before appearing on BBC Celebrity MasterChef earlier this year.

'I had trouble washing and going up the stairs. My mental health hasn't been great for the last five or six years, and it's really helped.”

Wynne has documented his weight loss journey on social media, previously revealing that his size increased after the breakup of his marriage and the loss of both his parents.

He went on to say that he continued to work in radio during the difficult times: 'The tagline of my show is 'Brightening Wales at One O'Clock', but I was going through the worst depression, clinical depression.'

'I thought about (suicide), I tried to carry it out… I didn't see a way out; I saw no possibility of ever being happy again.'
