Monkey is back - and he's married, with two children
PG Tips' iconic Monkey mascot is making a much-anticipated comeback, with the launch of the new reality TV-inspired ad - At Home with Monkey. Premiering on Friday, May 9, At Home with Monkey follows Monkey's new life with his wife, Mrs. M, played by Emily Atack. Monkey is now married and has two children, Earl and Chai. In a continuation of his successful media career, Monkey now has a reality show documenting the ups and downs of his daily life (sponsored by PG Tips). The ad sees the pair navigating the highs and lows of married life - the banter, the bickering and the brews. Comedian Ivo Graham now lends his voice to Monkey. Monkey said: 'That's right, I'm back! Spilling the tea on life with Alice… Mrs M, if we're being fancy. That's right, I've tied the knot! And we've flung open the doors (and the biscuit tin) to let you all in. Like all good reality shows, there are highs, lows, laughs, tears … and enough tea to rehydrate a small nation. You'll see us muddling through it all. Marriage, mayhem, and meltdowns (did I mention the kids?) 'Because married life's a bit like a teabag, you don't know how strong it is until it's in hot water. But no matter what's brewing, there's always a cup of PG to help us pause, reset, and crack on with whatever's next.' Emily Atack said: 'It's not often you get the opportunity to work with a national treasure. Filming alongside the knitted and quick-witted Monkey has been such a joy - I absolutely loved stepping into the role of Mrs. M, and living life one tea at a time as Monkey's other half. It is both hilarious and heartwarming in equal measure! 'Alice definitely keeps Monkey on his toes, and I think many couples will relate to their dynamic. I can't wait to spill the tea on what this duo have been up to!' Elle Barker, UK and Ireland chief marketing officer at Lipton Teas and Infusions, said, 'Monkey is a legendary mascot beloved by the British public – people have missed him, so have we! His comeback is long overdue and this new campaign captures the chaos of family life and the role that tea plays in fuelling the day for British families."
