Cheryl pokes fun at her own iconic line: 'Can't nip to the garage in my pyjamas anymore'

Cheryl has made fun of one of iconic lines in a new ad for food delivery service Deliveroo, as she looked back on the beginnings of her career as part of girl band Girls Aloud.

Back in 2012, Cheryl took part in the documentary Girls Aloud: Ten Years At The Top, in which she and her bandmates reflected on their fame.

In the doc, the 'Fight For This Love' singer weighed in on finding success overnight in the early 2000s, saying in what has since become an ever-quotable one-liner: "Slowly but surely, you start to realise, 'Actually, I can't nip to the garage in my pyjamas anymore for a pint of milk, even if I want to.'"

The infamous line has now become the focus of a new Deliveroo campaign, in which Cheryl appears in her pyjamas as she's brewing a cup of tea. Realising she's out of milk, the singer revisits her quote, thanking the partnership between Deliveroo and Tesco for having her shopping delivered to her door.

"I can't believe it's still doing the rounds, but we've had a good laugh giving it a glow up all these years later," Cheryl said of her quote.

She added: "At least I no longer have that dilemma with Tesco now on Deliveroo – so nothing stands between me and my morning cuppa."

To mark the new collaboration between Deliveroo and Tesco, anyone who orders from Tesco using the delivery app between Wednesday 28 and Friday 30 October could be in for a special treat.

Some lucky customers will receive what's been dubbed as a "Cheryl-Skimmed bundle" as part of their order. The prize for the randomly-selected winners will include Deliveroo-inspired pyjamas and a milk jug signed by the former Girls Aloud star herself.
