Aldi is to launch a Christmas TV advert starring Jools Holland who also created the soundtrack for the advert.

It also features a cameo from Jean Jones, the pensioner from Darlington who has starred in a number of commercials for Aldi including the Gin adverts and the 2011 Tea Commercial.
Jools Holland makes his appearance towards the end of the advert playing his music on a black grand piano, accompanied by his band.

Aldi joint managing director of corporate buying Giles Hurley said: “Aldi has captured the imagination of the nation this year and our ad campaign is no different.
“Aldi is becoming a cornerstone of the grocery shop. We’re looking to reflect this in the Christmas campaign, while highlighting the superb quality of the products Aldi offer as well as the unbeatable value.
