All the action in the advert is unknown to the oblivious Warburton, who believes De Niro to be delivering a pitch for a new film.

The advert ends with the actor ominously announcing that his story ends "not well".

Robert De Niro said: "It was a pleasure to fly to the UK to film this ad with the Warburtons family, and star alongside Jonathan.

"We've spent months perfecting the recipe and process to ensure we delight families up and down the country with the best thing since sliced bread"

The advert will appear on UK TV screens from May 17.
