Scottish Power ad featuring TV architect George Clarke banned

George Clarke presents George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces (PA) - (PA Archive)

An advert for Scottish Power featuring architect and television presenter George Clarke has been banned for leading viewers to think they were watching a programme.

The TV ad, seen on Channel 4 in July, included text stating “George Clarke’s amazing green spaces”, before Clarke himself said: “I’ve seen some amazing spaces all around the UK. From great tree houses, to log cabins, and house boats. Oh, and don’t forget about the hobbit house in Gwent, that was truly amazing.”
