WHEN Arnold Schwarzenegger popped up in an advert with the famous TV Meerkats it seemed perfectly fine, even logical given they were in Hollywood and Arnie is far from a serious actor.

But now that glamorous actress Nicole Kidman appears in the latest comparethemarket.com adverts (which are more like little stories, really) it doesn’t seem quite right.

Perhaps this is because the Meerkats appear to have more facial expressions these days than Nicole. They, at least, seem capable of light and shade whereas the still beautifully elegant Nicole seems to have some facial limitations. I make no other comment. Simples!
