Hi, I'm digital reporter Amy Seddon. The rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire
00:06
has been well documented since the 15th century Wars of the Roses, but in 2025
00:12
one famous Lancastrian seems to be crossing enemy lines as they've teamed
00:16
up with the iconic Yorkshire Tea brand. Yorkshire Tea has announced it has
00:21
recruited Happy Valley actress Sarah Lancashire CBE to hunt down an office
00:26
biscuit thief in its latest ad campaign. The move may come as a bit of surprise
00:31
as the former Coronation Street and Last Tango in Halifax star is not only
00:36
Lancastrian by name but also by birth, having been born in Ermston and raised
00:41
in Oldham, both of which were still part of Lancashire at the time. Take a look at
00:46
the Yorkshire Tea advert next.
01:16
And you're next. And you. I only had one of Brian's cheese triangles.
01:23
Well, well, looky here.
01:30
Oops! Silly me.
01:39
Who nicked my stapler? All eyes on a red stapler. I repeat, a red stapler.
01:46
Yorkshire Tea. Where everything's done proper.
