Andy Murray<\/a> had tongues wagging after featuring in a \u2018seductive\u2019 advert for shortbread brand Walker\u2019s. The Olympic champion became the face of the confectionery company earlier this year, having retired from tennis last summer.<\/p>\n

Murray, who has never shied away from expressing his Scottish heritage, signed a multi-year deal with Walker\u2019s<\/a>, becoming the brand\u2019s first-ever ambassador. And now, as part of his role with Walker\u2019s, has featured in a scintillating advert for the shortbread firm.<\/p>\n

The 46-time title winner was seen biting seductively into a piece of shortbread during the teasing social media clip. Fans were quick to jump on the move, with Murray earning plenty of plaudits for his acting ability.<\/p>\n

@pinkhedgehog81 chimed in with: \u201cThis is advertising at its best.\u201d<\/p>\n

@CCampbAusLangs mused: \u201cAndy Murray<\/a> at his brilliant deadpan best [laughing emoji].\u201d<\/p>\n

@TweetThere4Am joked: \u201cThe next Bond? License to bake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the partnership following its announcement, Murray said: \u201cI am proudly Scottish, and partnering with Walker\u2019s, a brand that has been representing Scotland around the world for well over a century, felt like a great fit for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI come from a small tight-knit community and when I look back at where I have come from, I am proud of what I\u2019ve achieved, which is something I share with Walker\u2019s. It\u2019s a real honour to be part of this next chapter for such a well-loved Scottish brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the sugary and buttery treat, he continued: \u201cI\u2019ve been eating shortbread since I was a kid \u2013 my gran would make it all the time for us. We even celebrated my Wimbledon<\/a> win with shortbread. Shortbread is one of my simple pleasures. No matter where I am in the world, a piece of Walker\u2019s Shortbread always transports me back home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the managing director of Walker\u2019s, Nicky Walker, commented: “We are incredibly excited to welcome Andy Murray<\/a> as our very first brand ambassador. We’ve always admired Andy’s achievements, his dedication and his cautious charisma as well as his very obvious close relationship with his own family. These are qualities that resonate deeply with our own values at Walker’s Shortbread.<\/p>\n

“We are genuinely honoured that Andy and his team have acknowledged Walker\u2019s as a suitable partner, and we are looking forward to this exciting new venture as we continue to promote \u2018Scotland at its Finest\u2019.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andy Murray had tongues wagging after featuring in a \u2018seductive\u2019 advert for shortbread brand Walker\u2019s.
