ROBBIE Williams, Chris Pratt and Adele have joined forces for a supermarket perfume ad – but not all is as it seems.

From store managers to a customer assistant and warehouse desk clerk, the staff are modelling the brand’s cheeky Suddenly and G. Bellini perfume adverts.
Each of the namesakes have undergone a stunning transformation, swapping their store get up for glitz and glamour.
Peter De Roos, chief customer officer at Lidl GB, said “Our colleagues are super stars every day so who else would we call when we wanted to launch a high-profile campaign to promote our perfume than our very own Adele, Shakira, Chris and Robbie?
“Our perfume range is carefully crafted to offer the absolute best quality, at market leading prices and, we hope our customers love the campaign as much as they love our incredible perfumes.”
