Star of 1980s Cadbury advert is selling off her huge chocolate collection

A mum who starred in a 1980s Cadbury advert when she was aged three is selling her huge collection of chocolate memorabilia worth thousands of pounds. Emma Tighe, 45, spent decades adding to her Cadbury goodies which she crammed into her home.

Her treasure trove of 369 items includes vintage shop signs, retro chocolate tins, kids colouring books, playing cards and limited edition egg cups. She is now auctioning her whopping collection, which is set to fetch between £2,000 and £4,000.

The most expensive item going under the hammer is a rare enamel 'Cadbury’s' shop signs from the 1920s, which is worth up to £1,000. Cadbury controversially dropped the ‘s’ from its name in 2003 as part of a new marketing strategy, making memorabilia with the ‘s’ even more valuable.
