Mr Lineker has fronted the Walkers ads since 1995.

The new Walkers "home grown" TV advert is due to air nationwide on Friday, March 8.

    “@ Villageboy

    Didn't you know reading Twitter is the only way the Post finds out what is going on in Bristol?

    One day, they might even publish some real news!”
