The Jet2holidays meme takes off as celebs including Mariah Carey, Diana Vickers and Jeff Goldblum jump on board the hilarious viral trend
The viral meme sees users post chaotic travel clips alongside the cheerful line by Zoe Lister, 'Nothing beats a Jet2holiday,' lifted straight from the original advert.
Backed by Jess Glynne 's feel-good hit Hold My Hand, the ad's sunny soundtrack has become the iconic anthem of summer fails.
What started as a niche joke has snowballed into millions of videos and views, quickly becoming one of TikTok 's biggest trends.
Now, A-listers are joining in as they each put their own spin on the voiceover and send the meme to new heights.
Daily Mail takes a look at the famous faces who couldn't resist taking part in the viral trend.
Mariah Carey
She may live on the other side of the world, but Mariah Carey is down with British humour.
The singer, 56, took to her TikTok page on Monday to take part in the viral trend.
She used the soundtrack to announce her departure to the UK, where she is set to headline at Brighton Pride.
In the clip, the singer looked incredible in a black fitted Prada dress as she walked in slow motion across an airport apron.
She then strutted up the steps of a blue and yellow private jet.
'Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride,' she quipped in the video's caption, alongside a Pride flag emoji.
Diana Vickers
Diana Vickers is no stranger to showing off her fun side on social media.
The X Factor star, 34, decided to take part in the trend after she found a destroyed phone in the park.
Taking to her TikTok page on Sunday, the star looked radiant as she filmed the video during her birthday party, surrounded by friends.
Diana hilariously mimed the words to the advert while pretending to talk on the smashed phone.
'I don't know who's phone I found in the park but message if you want it back x,' she penned alongside the clip.

Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum continues to win the hearts of his fans as he jumped on the trend on Monday.
The Jurassic Park star, 72, looked as stylish as ever in a satin blue and green floral print top as he mimed the lyrics in his back garden.
He captioned the clip: 'Nothing beats a Jeff2 holiday #jeffirmations #holdmyhand.'
Jeff's fans went crazy in the comments as they gushed over the star.
They said: 'Jeff you're so hip, we love you!',
'Jeff Goldblum has been IT for my entire lifespan. Aged like fine wine. LOVED Kaos and would do anything to uncancel it ❤️',
'Thanks Jeff Goldblum needed this today',
'Nothing beats a Jeff Goldblum pun.'
Jess Glynne and Alex Scott
Little did Jess Glynne know that her 2015 song Hold My Hand would once again become a huge hit.
As the star whose soundtrack backs the viral TikTok trend, it would only be right for her to take part in it.
Taking to her social media page, the singer joined her girlfriend Alex Scott as they gave their spin on the meme.
As the clip started, Jess began miming the lyrics before Alex jumped into the frame.
The pair then enthusiastically finished off the video together before breaking into laughter.
Jess penned alongside the post: 'Darlin… ✈️.'
Doireann Garrihy
RTE host Doireann Garrihy sent fans into fits of laughter as she created her own version of the viral TikTok clip.
The 2FM star has become renowned for her impersonations of stars such as Maura Higgins and Holly Willoughby.
Live on her 2FM Drive Time show, the 33-year-old presenter did a hilarious impression of the soundbite.
But Doireann used it to poke fun at presenter Hugh Carr, and swapped out the 'nothing beats a Jet2holiday' phrase in place of a GAA All-Ireland final theme.
In her best British accent, the TV star exclaimed: 'Nothing beats an All-Ireland final, especially with Donegal in it. Have you got a ticket?
'Because right now one Donegal man will do absolutely anything for it. Need a lawn mowed? A baby's nappy changed? Well, Hugh Carr will do it all.
'This desperate Donegaler will risk his sanity, integrity and dignity for a golden ticket.'
Elena Ora
Rita Ora's lookalike sister Elena wasted no time in taking part in the viral meme.
She posted a Story to her Instagram on Wednesday night miming the lyrics to the advert with her friend Camille.
The pals appeared in high spirits in the back of a cab as they playfully took part in the trend.

The best way to age? Forget the longevity bros – and be more Mariah Carey
Big news, everyone: time is cancelled. Mariah Carey says so. 'I don't allow it – it just doesn't happen,' the diva delle dive told Harper's Bazaar. 'I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time.' Carey made this proclamation in response to a question about how she deals with ageing while wearing 'white Fendi pyjamas over a plunging black bra, with six-inch Gianvito Rossi heels', which is exactly how I want my supreme planetary dictator to dress. Carey is famous for cancelling stuff – stairs (won't do them), J-Lo (doesn't know her), James Corden's Carpool Karaoke (refused to sing) and overhead lighting (no) – but this might be her finest work yet. She has had time in her sights for a while, telling Out magazine: 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them,' in 2014 and claiming on Capital FM that she doesn't have a birthday. She is hardly the first diva to deny ageing, but I don't think anyone else has had the audacity to axe seconds, minutes and hours. While it might prove challenging for students of physics, I love this for her – and for us. We are making heavy weather of ageing. Everywhere I look, I'm assailed with questions and commandments about how to 'age well': build muscle, quit booze, sleep longer, eat ferments, stand up, walk fast, squat deep, jump around (the longevity benefits of the hokey cokey are unconfirmed). I know that goes for everyone – our society is solipsistic and obsessed with wellness – but it seems to apply doubly when you hit midlife, presumably because the older worried-well, feeling the chilly whisper of mortality, are a great demographic to target. HTSI, the expensive fripperies section of the Financial Times, recently launched a 'longevity project' (hardly necessary for its readership, given that being rich already adds nine years on to your life). I took its quiz to assess how well I'm ageing (which is surely the most depressing summer magazine quiz ever: 'Mostly D? You're staggering to an early grave') and it suggested I cut out takeaways and eat more slowly, targeting my only remaining pleasures: tearing through food like a famished raccoon and not cooking. I thought I was fine with ageing, but, eight months after turning 50, the facts suggest otherwise. My breakfasts look like sweepings from the bottom of a hamster cage; I take multiple supplements, I worry about my bone density and blood pressure and I try to 'lift heavy'. Sometimes, as my husband and I pass each other the vitamin D spray (may slow biological ageing) in the morning before brushing our teeth, eyes closed, balanced on one leg, (doing it for longer predicts survival), I remember wistfully the gin-sodden nights and croissant breakfasts in bed of our youth. I don't truly believe I can delay decrepitude, but I seem to have become a low-budget version of the immortality bro Bryan Johnson anyway. Deluged with anxiety-inducing messaging, I'm spending my finite days planking, pulse-soaking and fretting rather than living. I'm doing it because I'm a craven rule-follower; plenty of people manage to ignore this noise and live outward-looking, exciting, second acts. But it's also because the other options – getting weak or sick, burdening my kids and, yes, death – are worse. But here, finally, is my philosopher queen with a third way. I can't possibly tell you how old Carey is, but having been born in 1969 to my 1974, she looks like a superior species: glossier, happier, thriving. It's possible, I suppose, that 'not acknowledging time' involves a punishing diet and exercise regime, but I don't believe it. Carey isn't sprinkling ground hemp seeds on her unsweetened porridge and taking her statins before going to power pump basics – she is too fabulous for that (and probably asleep: she cancelled mornings, too). She is also still having fun, as the Bazaar interview surely proves. You wouldn't want to overuse the question: 'What would Mariah do?' It could get lesser mortals arrested. But I think, now and then, as I'm dully dithering over cholesterol in coconut yoghurt or whether I need more cardio, I may whisper it to myself. Emma Beddington is a Guardian columnist

Antiques Roadshow expert gets a nasty shock after realising he's ALLERGIC to guest's precious item - before gasping 'I need to keep it at arm's length!'
An Antiques Roadshow expert got a nasty shock after discovering he was allergic to one guest's rare item, leaving him exclaiming, 'I'm going to have to keep this at arm's length!' During a vintage episode filmed at Liverpool's Sefton Park Palm House, hopefuls queued up to have their prized possessions examined by show regulars including Marc Allum, Ronnie Archer Morgan and Wayne Colquhoun. The installment featured a medal awarded to one of the first men to land on D-Day, a stately stool used at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation and ticket stubs from the iconic 1966 World Cup final. But expert Matthew Haley was stunned when a guest unveiled one of the earliest vials of penicillin ever produced, dating back to Christmas Eve in 1945. The penicillin, made at a factory in Speke, Liverpool, was thought to be one of the very first batches of the antibiotic. As Matthew noticed the label, he backed off and said: 'I'm going to have to keep this at arm's length as I am actually allergic to penicillin. 'So, I'll keep that safely away from me. But it's not just any bottle of penicillin, is it?' The guest then explained how the item came to be in his possession, revealing he had prevented it from going into a skip at the instruction of his manager. The guest rescued it when he himself worked for the factory in which it was created. 'I worked at that factory. I was in the human resources department, and the department had a small archive of articles from back when the factory first started,' he remembered. 'A new manager came along into the HR department and said "We're not running a museum, we're running a pharmaceutical business. Arrange for a skip and have them disposed of." 'And I said to him, "Can I keep some of those items for my own because I really don't think they should go in a skip."' The guest managed to rescue the vial along with an old visitors' book, which even recorded a visit from Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin. The guest had no idea just how much the find was worth, admitting he thought it might fetch only around £200. But he was taken aback when Matthew delivered a far higher valuation. 'We've got your story. You were there, you rescued it. But for me it just lacks that little letter or that little certificate from the time that would really have said "This was the very first." 'I think it's an absolutely fantastic story. Because of the interest in healthcare, I do think if you put this into auction, I would expect it to make probably between £2,000 and £4,000,' he told him. 'Wow, I thought it'd be worth about £200,' the guest replied. 'It's fantastic,' said Matthew. 'I'm keeping it at arm's length, but I love it.'
