CHESTER, England, January 7, 2011 - moneysupermarket.com (MONY), has enlisted former Deputy Prime
Minister John Prescott, to star in its latest television advertising
campaign.

It's 10 years since Prescott hit the headlines for throwing a
punch during the general election campaign. But this time he's not taking on
an egg-throwing farmer, but moneysupermarket.com campaign frontman, Omid
Djalili
.

In a tongue-in-cheek take on the former Deputy Prime
Minister's famous incident, Djalili interrupts the furious Prescott who is
taking out his frustration over his car insurance renewal on a punchbag to
the strains of 'Eye of the Tiger'.

Djalili points out to the worked-up Prescott that it can be an
expensive business insuring two old cars when you're no longer running the
country and suggests he heads online to moneysupermarket.com in order to save
a fortune on his car insurance (
www.moneysupermarket.com/car-insurance/).

David Osborne, Marketing Director at moneysupermarket.com
said: "It's a real coup for us to have someone as well known as John Prescott
let down his guard and have some fun in this ad. We've had a fantastic
customer response to our advertising since we first launched with Omid as our
frontman last year.

"Since then, we evolved the campaign to include Nigel Mansell
as another famous face for Omid to bounce off. Our customers really
appreciate the humour in each of the advertisements and with this latest TVC,
we think we'll deliver a knock-out punch and encourage even more people to
save a super amount of money by using our site."

John Prescott said: "I suppose you could say this advert marks
the 10th anniversary of my so-called Thriller in the Rhyl-a."

The 30-second TVC will debut on Friday 7 January.
moneysupermarket.com's creative agency, Dare, produced the campaign.
