Still Game legend stars in cheeky throwback Irn-Bru advert that brings back iconic catchphrase
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GRANNY reckons folk will be fizzing at her new Irn-Bru advert - as she 'isn't wearing any pants.' Linda Raskin, 83, was cast in the hilarious production alongside a young lad who delivers a rousing speech on behalf of the drink and actor Sanjeev Kohli - who harps back to his days as Still Game's Navid by playing a shopkeeper. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Linda had a great time filming the advert. 3 It was the first role for young lad Davis. 3 Sanjeev is a big Irn-Bru fan. The characters give hilarious examples of what it means to have girders - leading to the pensioner's cheeky one-liner. The pensioner, from Newton Mearns, had great fun riding a mobility scooter and can't wait for her five grandchildren to see her starring in the special ad. She said: 'I told them they better watch it and glue themselves to the screen - granny is on. They all think it's good fun. 'I probably will get recognised afterwards. One of my lines is 'I'm not wearing any pants' so imagine what my friends will shout at me when I go shopping. 'It won't be, 'Donald where's your trousers?', it'll be 'Linda, where's your pants?'' Teenager Davis Harvey, 13, from Dennistoun, impressed Linda in his first role after being street-cast for the ad. The advert brings back the iconic 'made in Scotland from girders' line from 40 years ago that was used to explain the drink's magical qualities. And that's ideal for Linda - as her father was a magician and she worked as his assistant when she was a youngster. She said: 'The mobility scooter lethal was lethal, it was so fast. I felt 15 again. 'I had to throw a can of Irn-Bru over my shoulder into bin and my aim was stunning. Irn Bru announces major shake-up to iconic brand - and some fans won't be happy 'We did it countless times – and I managed to make the shot every time. I've no idea how. Maybe it was the girders in the Irn-Bru making the magic happen.' Linda, who worked at a dentist before attending drama school, joked: 'I remember 'Made in Scotland from Girders' from the first time round and how much it was loved by us all. 'Being part of bringing back is fantastic and a real honour. My whole family love Irn-Bru. 'But I never expected at my age for people to start asking whether I'm wearing any pants, which I'm sure will happen the next time I'm out and about.' The newsagents featured was a shop in Albert Drive, Pollokshields, as The Lucky General creative agency kept things local for their first Irn-Bru production. Sanjeev, 53, quipped: 'Irn-Bru ads have always been witty, had a bit of an edge and they've never been short of something daft to say. "So, I obviously wasn't going to knock it back when they came calling. Especially when I realised 'Made in Scotland from Girders' was returning. 'When I read the script, it felt like a real throwback to the 80s and 90s – and I mean that in a good way. "It was simple but a bit silly and didn't take itself too seriously. When we got together to film, everyone just picked up that energy up and ran with it. We had a right laugh, even when the cameras weren't rolling. 'From a pantless granny to a ginger flying too close to the sun, the ad is funny, but it's also true. Scots are most definitely made from girders.'

Irn-Bru unveils new 'Made from Girders' campaign
A new campaign is being launched featuring the historic tag, which was first rolled out 40 years ago, with a new campaign and advert. Set in a cornershop with comic actor Sanjeev Kohli as shopkeeper, the new campaign stars a Glaswegian teenager - street-cast in his first ever role - alongside an 83-year-old co-star as a cheeky OAP, who lets her fellow shoppers know that she's ventured out without her granny pants. Davis Harvey, from Dennistoun takes umbrage with IRN-BRU being in the soft drink section – sparking a passionate speech that celebrates what it means to be 'Made in Scotland from Girders'. It ends in homage to the original 80s line, when a commando granny character throws an empty can of IRN-BRU with such force, an outside bin whizzes across the street. A still from the new ad (Image: AG Barr) Marking the return of its famous strapline, the characters give humerous examples of what it means to have girders, from 'running into the freezing cold sea in your granny pants' to having the strength to get over an ex. The ad is set to be shown throughout the UK from this weekend onwards. Kenny Nicholson, Brand Director for IRN-BRU said: 'It's great to bring 'Made in Scotland from Girders' back. This time round, it's all about inner strength of character and the courage to be different – whilst having a laugh too.' Sanjeev Kohli said: 'IRN-BRU ads have always been witty, had a bit of an edge and they've never been short of something daft to say. So, I obviously wasn't going to knock it back when they came calling. Especially when I realised 'Made in Scotland from Girders' was returning.' Almost a third of us think cold-water swimming indicates a heroic disposition – and 15 per cent feel that wearing skimpy swimwear to the beach without shame is a sure sign of maverick courage. The survey also found that 75% of the nation would like to be braver – with 1 in 10 of us having not done anything daring in the last year. And 5% of us have never managed to do something that's scared us. Which, despite most of us having a personal bucket list, might be why half of the nation (50%) fear they won't ever complete it. Kenny Nicholson, Brand Director for IRN-BRU added: "Having the girders to go make something happen, or just be yourself, is something we should all be able to tap into. And the results of the survey show that most of us really want to unlock that inner, unapologetic courage. 'Whether that's telling a manager they're wrong about something or simply picking up the phone to call rather than text, the idea of being 'Made from Girders' is about inner strength and being able to steel your way through life, whether what we face is big or small, serious or silly.' The ad features a brave granny (Image: AG Barr) The study went on to find that 10 per cent of us say admitting not liking Taylor Swift is brave, for fear of backlash. And only 28% of the nation would ever wear clothes they think are 'out there'. Even everyday actions – like picking up the phone to call someone rather than text (10%) or singing at karaoke (30%) are thought to need nerve. While more than four in 10 (45 per cent) also admitted they would never in a million years tackle a stand-up comedy set - and 31 per cent don't think they've got the fortitude to move to a new country. But three in 10 (30 per cent) confessed they'd be more likely to do something courageous if there was a chance of getting a funny story out of it. Kenny from IRN-BRU said: 'Facing your fears or taking on a new challenge, be it really belting out your favourite karaoke song or even summoning the courage to tell someone you love them, can have a truly profound effect on your life and how you choose to live it.

Justin Bieber impersonator 'banned from Vegas nightclub' after tricking DJ into performing
A DJ in Las Vegas was tricked into letting a Justin Bieber impersonator perform Sorry live after being duped into thinking he was the Canadian hitmaker A Justin Bieber impersonator has been banned from a Las Vegas hotel after successfully convincing an entire nightclub that he was the Canadian pop star. The incident took place on Saturday, August 16, at XS Nightclub, where 29-year-old Frenchman Dylan Desclos posed as Bieber. Reports state that Desclos not only gained access to VIP areas but also ran up a $10,000 bar bill before joining DJ Gryffin on stage for a surprise performance. At the time, many believed they were witnessing Bieber's return to live music following the release of his seventh studio album Swag. The lead single Daisies has been a Top 10 hit in the UK, which added credibility to the idea that the star was making a promotional appearance. DJ Gryffin, whose real name is Daniel Griffith, later shared his perspective of the incident on TikTok. The 37-year-old admitted that the dark setting and loud music made it difficult to realise the person who approached him was not actually Bieber. Gryffin wrote: "So his 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry'… little did I know I was about to be sorry." The clip, which has since gone viral, shows the DJ smiling after the performance and telling the crowd: "That was insane. That was actually insane." Shortly afterwards, a friend informed him that the man he had invited on stage was not Justin Bieber. Gryffin appeared visibly shocked, responding: "There's no way." In a follow-up, the DJ admitted he briefly questioned the man's appearance, saying: "I literally thought like, 'damn, he's put on a lot of weight since the album dropped!'" The man who went up on stage was later identified as Dylan Desclos, a French national who has gained attention online for his repeated impersonations of Bieber. He is known to some as Bustin Jieber, and has staged mock tours, shared viral clips from public transport, and once even met Hailey Bieber, who admitted she was unsettled by his resemblance to her husband. After his Las Vegas stunt XS Nightclub confirmed that Desclos had been banned from the venue. Social media users have been debating over whether his actions constituted identity theft or if the incident was simply an elaborate prank. One viewer wrote: "It's alarming how easily he was able to prank everyone. The fact that a random guy made it to the stage is impressive. " Meanwhile, another protested: "I'm so lost on this is this not illegal?? I'm pretty sure this is a form of like fraud or identity theft??" The incident comes after the real Justin Bieber sparked concern from fans when he posted a series of near-nude photos of himself in see-through Calvin Klein boxers after a dip in a lake. Some people questioned his online behaviour, with one commenting: "Hailey come get your husband," while another wrote: "What is he doing? He is a married father acting like a teenager on a camping trip with his high school friends."
