The 30-second TVC shows parents across the nation stashing their Walkers Snacks in hiding places around the house. The TV ad will launch on key shows over the weekend including Coronation Street, The Lateish show with Mo Gilligan and Celebs Go Dating.

The campaign also features a competition asking the nation to share their snack hiding methods and an interactive version of the ad on social media with extra packs hidden. The public will be challenged to find all the hidden packs and share their guess.

In addition to this, Walkers have partnered with YouTube star, stuntman and inventor Colin Furze to create four inventions for hiding snacks. He will post a video for each invention on his owned channel with the first having debuted already.
