Huge A-list actress follows Samuel L Jackson and Robert De Niro to star in TV ads for bread firm Warburtons
THERE’S no denying that Olivia Colman is a national treasure – but now she can officially add the title to her resume, thanks to a new TV advert for bread company Warburtons.
She follows in the footsteps of Robert De Niro and Samuel L Jackson with the big reveal as the latest famous face to represent the Bolton-based brand.
The Crown actress stars as herself in the new advert, which will hit screens on May 3 during the ad break between the action on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent.
As an official representative of the ‘Department of National Treasures’, Olivia will take control of the factory and round up all their crumpets and merchandise for testing to prove their treasured status.
It will later be revealed that it was all a ruse for the actress to take home as many packets as possible, leaving Warburtons boss Jonathan shaking his head, and the factor half empty.
Olivia said: “You butter believe it was a tough job, but I was more than happy to oblige.
“Though I’m surprised Jonathan didn’t rumble me from the start and let’s be honest, who really needs convincing that the Great British Crumpet is a National Treasure?
“I was simply there to ensure a lifetime supply landed in my kitchen!”
