The suite of commercials also includes a safer gambling ad, with Betfred stating that “20% of all airtime” it books on TV will be dedicated to safety gambling messages.

“We are delighted to be associated with Michael, he epitomises what Betfred is all about; Fun, excitement, and big sporting moments,” added Betfred boss Fred Done.

“When Zut presented us with their idea we were blown away by their concept and they have done a brilliant job in bringing it to life.”
