Nanny Pulls Her "Joggers Have Covid" Advert - Because It Was Bollocks!

Nanny has chosen to discontinue a radio ad that says joggers are "highly likely to have Covid-19". After being contacted by the Advertising Standards Authority, the Cabinet Office has said the disputed claim will not be repeated.

The ASA received complaints about the 30-second radio ad that begins: 

"Someone jogging, walking their dog or working out in the park is highly likely to have Covid-19. This is a national health emergency."

Campaign reports that ASA rules require that advertisers hold robust documentary evidence to prove claims that are capable of substantiation. 

Following a conversation, the Cabinet office worked to "swiftly address and resolve the matter without the need for formal investigation", the ASA said in a statement, "we consider the matter closed".

Nanny should stop crying wolf, the more she does the less people will listen to her!
