ITV have launched a new advert for Euro 2020 starring former England football player and presenter Ian Wright.
The 40-second advert titled “The Good Times Start Here” begins in black and white as it focuses on the former striker who has waited a year for a phone message to inform him that Euro 2020 is finally here. The tournament was delayed by 12 months as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic last year.
On hearing the good news, we see Wright’s animated eyes pop out. The ad now fills with colour as a dragon and pair of lions escape from his smartphone. They represent the home nations – England, Scotland and Wales who are all taking part in the competition.
The ad concludes with an excited shot of Wrighty with the tagline “The good times start here”.
