This Morning favourite Alison Hammond has a starring role in the new Sainsbury\u2019s Christmas advert 2022, which also includes narration from Stephen Fry.<\/p>\n

The tongue-in-cheek scenario sees The Countess, played by Alison, with a very strong sense of what she likes and what she doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

One thing she can\u2019t abide is Christmas pudding \u2013 not ideal for a festive banquet\u2026<\/p>

We join The Countess in the run-up to Christmas in a medieval setting and she\u2019s in charge of picking every item on the banquet menu.<\/p>\n

After going through Sainsbury\u2019s Taste the Difference Crab Thermidor Crumpets and Cider Glazed Gammon, she is furious when a young cook offers her a Christmas pudding.<\/p>\n

Blowing out the flame she tells him, \u201cI\u2019ve never really liked Christmas pudding,\u201d before demanding he bring her something different \u201cor else\u201d.<\/p>\n

The youngster decides to take matters into his own hands and chooses to try and change her mind on a Christmas pudding.<\/p>\n

Set to a medieval version of Wheatus hit Teenage Dirtbag, the chef sets about working day and night to mix ingredients, and also steals a biscuit from a disgruntled giant, until he\u2019s finally happy with his creation.<\/p>\n

At the banquet, The Countess asks for \u201ctreatie time\u201d and the chef reveals his Taste the Difference Caramelised Biscuit Christmas Pudding as the room falls silent at his apparent disregard for The Countess\u2019s tastes.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, she gives it a go and asks if the pud contains caramelised biscuit, before explaining it\u2019s \u201ca bit of me\u201d.<\/p>\n

Patting the chef on the back, the joyful Countess says \u201cwell done Babs\u201d and the banquet continues with glee.<\/p>\n
