Pat Shortt has revealed he turned down bucket loads of cash from huge companies for the rights of Jumbo Breakfast Roll over the last 16 years.
The comedian and actor was offered huge cash sums from various companies who wanted to buy the rights of his catchy hit tune – but turned them all down because he didn’t want the song to be “bashed about”.
He told The Star: “Not millions but if you were to add it up over the years, yes it probably wouldn’t be far off it. People wanted it like van companies, who were targeting the building trade, building companies, garages… then when all the motorway garages came online, the different companies approached me about doing a special and using the song for a commercial.
