Eastbourne mum stars in TV advert with Ant and Dec
Jacqui Smith, who lives in Langney, thought she was simply going to test drive a new Suzuki when she arrived at a car showroom in Crawley.
But as soon as she walked through the door of the showroom, television presenters Ant and Dec jumped out from behind a banner and she took them on a test drive in a new Suzuki vehicle.

The prank – which took place in November last year – is part of an advertising campaign by Suzuki, which sponsors the comedy duo’s Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV.
The advertisement was shown three times on Saturday night and is ongoing.
Jacqui said, “It was such a great day. I have been a fan of Ant and Dec for more than 20 years and adore them both.

Jacqui, who works for Sport Eastbourne, is certainly an ardent fan and has been in the audience of their show eight times so far.
