Despite only being in the first days of November, the definitive proof that the festive season is almost here can be found on your TV screens in the breaks between segments of Big Brother and Married At First Sight.
We are, of course, talking about Christmas adverts. While the famed John Lewis offering for 2023 is yet to hit the airwaves, one star in particular has already been on double duty for both Marks and Spencer and Baileys.
Emmy award winner Hannah Waddingham’s first Christmas ad of the year saw her star alongside Queer Eye’s Tan France, The Marvels’ Zawe Ashton and Sophie Ellis-Bextor as they celebrated the festive period in their own unique way.
Now, the social media users on X (formerly Twitter) are delighting in the fact that the former Ted Lasso actor has made a second appearance in a campaign for Baileys.
Hannah’s second festive ad of the year sees her playing the conductor of a Christmas choir, with one fan enthusing: “Christmas 2023 belongs to Hannah Waddingham only.”
Another added: “This is hysterical - do you think all companies are just now finding out they’ve *all* cast Hannah Waddingham in their festive ads?”
Now there’s only one thing left for Hannah to do – and that’s to feature in the new John Lewis advert and officially complete Christmas.
As if all of that wasn’t enough festive fun from Hannah Waddingham – she actually filmed her very own Christmas special at the London Coliseum earlier in the year, which will begin streaming on Apple TV+ on 22 November.
