comedyHe hasn't been seen much on TV since leaving They Think It's All Over 20 years ago.

But Lee Hurst has made a surprise blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in a car dealer's ad.

The comic appears on screen for just four seconds, playing a dodgy car salesman call Kevin from Kev'z Karz.

In the commercial he tells a prospective customer the previous owner of a car was a little old lady 'who just used it to go to the High Street and back'. Then the scene cuts to the pensioner – who's the getaway driver for a gang of bank robbers.

The ad contrasts his bending of the truth with Rachel, a salesperson at the nationwide Bristol Street Motors chain of dealers.
