Kerry Katona, has appeared in television commercials, notably for Iceland and Asda supermarkets. She is now appearing in a tv ad advising people who need to take out short term loans. She is most annoying and irritates me just to watch her.

The over-use of the word 'help' . 'We are here to help...' Help you empty your wallet more like.

Then there is the slightly stuttering style of delivery where the actor/actress tries to give the impression that they are a member of the public extolling the virtues of the product, and underneath is says 80% said they would recommend it (out of 132 asked....!)

I'd forgotten about the Aviva adverts - probably because I switch channels when they come on!
