EXCLUSIVE: The Beckhams have been hitting the headlines this week with their domestic clashes – but now a new family is on the block who is hoping to rival the famous clan
One huge telly icon has spoken out to say he is dealing with the “same domestic teething issues” as the Beckham family.
This comes as the iconic PG Tips Monkey is back, after starring as the face of the brand for over 20 years, and this time he’s married and starring in his own reality show ‘At Home with Monkey’.
As the famous monkey sits down with Daily Star (as he’s voiced by comedian Ivo Graham) to find out what he’s been up to since leaving our screens.
As he updated us, Monkey revealed he now has his own reality show with his wife, Mrs. M (Alice), is played by comic actor, Emily Atack, and their two kids Chai and Earl.
Monkey told us: “It’s a glamorous and an exciting life. But other than that, we’re just like any normal married couple.”
Funnily enough, he can relate to the Beckham family, who have been hitting the headlines lately for their share of domestic drama.
Monkey shared: “We’ve seen the Beckhams, and now it’s time to see Mr. And Mrs. M an even more glamorous couple, we suffer the same domestic teething issues with our kids, Chai and Earl.
“Could we rival the Beckhams you ask? I think that’s got to be the aim. It’s Gogglebox tomorrow Hollywood the day after. That’s the first what we see it as.”
Viewers can Catch Mr and Mrs M living life ‘just one tea at a time’, with the launch of the new reality TV-inspired ad, At Home with Monkey, which follows his new life.
In a continuation of his successful media career, Monkey now has a reality show documenting the ups and downs of his daily life (sponsored, of course, by PG Tips).
The ad will see the pair navigating the relatable highs and humorous lows of married life – the banter, the bickering and most importantly, the brews.
Monkey added: “That’s right, I’m back! Spilling the tea on life with Alice… Mrs M, if we’re being fancy. That’s right, I’ve tied the knot! And we’ve flung open the doors (and the biscuit tin) to let you all in.
“Like all good reality shows, there are highs, lows, laughs, tears … and enough tea to rehydrate a small nation. You’ll see us muddling through it all. Marriage, mayhem, and meltdowns (did I mention the kids?)
“Because married life’s a bit like a teabag, you don’t know how strong it is until it’s in hot water. But no matter what’s brewing, there’s always a cup of PG to help us pause, reset, and crack on with whatever’s next.”
Emily Atack, the voice of Mrs. M also commented: “It’s not often you get the opportunity to work with a national treasure. Filming alongside the knitted and quick-witted Monkey has been such a joy – I absolutely loved stepping into the role of Mrs. M, and living life one tea at a time as Monkey’s other half. It is both hilarious and heartwarming in equal measure!
“Alice definitely keeps Monkey on his toes, and I think many couples will relate to their dynamic. I can’t wait to spill the tea on what this duo have been up to!”
