During a prime time broadcast that was syndicated across numerous major TV and radio networks in the UK, viewers were told, "There's no chip or tracker in the vaccine."

The advert went out just before 10pm last night and appeared on all the major networks, including BBC, Sky, Channel 4, ITV and LBC.

It featured numerous 'BAME' celebrities urging people to get the COVID-19 vaccine in order to be allowed to see their friends and family again.

"We will be reunited with our friends and family – all we have to do is take the vaccine," said one woman to camera.
