He appears alongside the retailer's established leading ladies - Twiggy, Erin O'Connor, Laura Bailey, Noemie Lenoir and Lizzy Jagger, in an advert which takes its inspiration from the golden age of Hollywood.

The Shrek star said: "I know how popular the ads and the company are in the UK - even though it's a pretty tall order to follow Shirley Bassey!"

The advert shows the five women as alleged rivals for the attention of one man, played by Banderas but introduced only as "Him", whose identity remains secret until the last scene.
