New photo Costa Coffee ad that poked fun at trendy avocados is banned by killjoys after just two people complained

A COSTA Coffee advert poking fun at trendy avocados has been banned by killjoys after two people complained.

The “light-hearted” radio ad claimed customers would be better off with a bacon roll.

A voiceover said: “Oh, there’s a great deal on ripen-at-home avocados. Sure, they’ll be hard as rock for the first 18 days, three hours and 20 minutes, then they’ll be ready to eat for about ten minutes, then they’ll go off.

“For a better deal head to Costa Coffee and grab a delicious, piping-hot bacon roll or egg muffin.”

Bosses said they were not telling listeners to make a definitive choice.

And Radiocentre, the industry body for commercial radio, thought it “unlikely” most people would regard it as a serious comparison.

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.”
