This is what Doncaster Free Press readers thought of the new Cadbury Creme Egg advert

The advert has received mixed reviews online, with audiences split between praising the confectionery company and those who felt it was too steamy for day time TV.

Reader Lisa-Nicole Sheridan said: “Plenty of kids live in same sex couple families.

"I’ts good for them to see something they can relate to on TV.”

Michael Price agrees, he said: “If you don’t want to watch it then don’t.

"I do think it’s good to completely normalise diverse sexuality though.”

This is a sentiment shared by many readers including Alison Maxfield.

She said: “I just watched it, I think its nice.

"I love the fact we are a nation that respects a person’s individuality.”

Ian Morrison said: “What’s it matter? Why can’t people live their lives as they want?”

But some readers disagreed, including Craig Barnes.

He said: “I don't think kids should be exposed to that type of advert, male or female.

"Also its a deliberate attempt by Cadbury to upset religious types.”

But most of our readers were not concerned over the content of the advert but instead were enraged that anybody would share the chocolate treat.

Lover of Creme Eggs Jean Ward said: “I would never ever ever share my Cream Egg, even with my grandchildren that I really love.”

Daniel Wilkinson said: “I’m more annoyed that my style of cream egg eating hasn’t been portrayed! Down in one! The only way to do it.”

Reader Rachel Campbell agrees.

She said: “Why would you share your creme egg? Nope. That baby is all mine."

But other readers are not a fan of the Easter treat.

Daniel Bell said: “The issue should be the ridiculous amount of sugar and 0 per cent of chocolate in every egg.

"The only thing that's offensive is Cadbury’s!”

Reader Kev Rooke raised an interesting point about Covid-19 guidelines.

He said: “Surely nobody should be encouraged to share any kind of food with Covid-19 ripping through the country?”
