The dreadful advert, featuring Button washing his hair in the shower and declaring “Wow, it’s bracing”, was followed closely by rugby player Gavin Henson’s uber-embarrassing dancing appearance in a Brit Bingo ad.
Also on the list of worst endorsements is Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker’s Eurostar ad and the Blackburn Rovers squad ad for club owners Venky’s chicken.
