Channel 4 has given comedian Jimmy Carr the opportunity to do what many viewers may have wished to do for months – shut up the opera singer in the GoCompare.com ads by grabbing him where it hurts most.

Carr will be hijacking all the ads during a commercial break in Channel 4's Comedy Gala broadcast on Monday evening and taking the mickey out of campaigns for brands including Guinness and Churchill, as well as GoCompare.com.

The two-hour long Comedy Gala, which will air on Channel 4 on Monday at 9pm, primarily features stand up routines with a line up including Jonathan Ross, Catherine Tate and David Mitchell.

This year the gala's production company, Open Mike, wanted to try and "continue the laughs into the ad break".

Carr will have a pop at ads from Guinness, Specsavers, Churchill, Kerry Low Low Cheese and GoCompare.com.

In the GoCompare.com ad Carr grabs the annoying opera singer Gio Compario by his testicles in order to make a comparison of his own.
