The balloon’s gone up on the traditional – and highly lucrative – TV Christmas commercial battle, with Holly Willoughby and Dame Helen Mirren signing up with Marks & Spencer to take on Sir Elton John’s ad for John Lewis.
Take That will provide the theme tune and The Mail on Sunday understands that filming for the M&S advertisement began last night.
The chain’s bosses are hoping that by recruiting 73-year-old acting royalty Dame Helen and 37-year-old This Morning star Holly they will be able to appeal to shoppers across the generations.

The closely guarded theme is said to be based on the stars receiving Christmas surprises as they walk along a festive high street in what is to be a ‘feelgood’ ad.
Holly’s appearance in the campaign comes shortly after she signed a lucrative deal with M&S to be the chain’s brand ambassador.
Last week we revealed that John Lewis conscripted Sir Elton for a staggering £5 million.
Earlier this month he filmed scenes at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire of him playing the piano in what will be the climax of the advert.
It will also star younger actors, who play Sir Elton, 71, as a child and teenager. A source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The competition between Marks & Spencer and John Lewis has become huge now. Both are doing everything they can to outdo the other.
‘John Lewis thought they were on to a winner with Sir Elton but Dame Helen and Holly, along with Take That, will be just as big a draw and they might just win this year.’
Marks & Spencer has drafted in Dame Helen Mirren to help win the battle of best Christmas ad
Last year saw Marks & Spencer rolling out Paddington Bear to take on John Lewis’s Moz the Monster in a competition that saw experts voting John Lewis the Yuletide winnner, based on the levels of interest generated across social media.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
