The 41-year-old Australian attempted to make a joke out of the TV adverts he made for the supermarket chain, but it backfired after fans called for his sacking.

After singer Olly Murs said he was embarrassed to be crowned ‘Rear of the Year,’ Peter quipped: ‘Olly, dude, you don’t need to be embarrassed, I’ve done an Iceland advert.’

As fellow contestants looked shocked, Twitter went into overdrive with fans calling for Iceland to sack him.
