The pig-shaped confectionary first appeared in stores in 1992 and has since become a firm favourite at the store, with the retailer launching several other spin-off characters since Percy’s original release.
Earlier this month the chain delighted fans once again with an Easter-themed advert featuring the cuddly mascot sporting bunny ears for an Easter-themed board meeting.

M&S shared the ad on Instagram earlier this month with hundreds of shoppers hoping to pick up the Easter pig in stores.
The clip centres around a boardroom full of the plush limited edition Percy Pig toys – which cost £15 – as they sit in on a meeting and carefully guard Easter Eggs.
The giant plush Percy toys first launched in September and was a huge hit with fans of all ages, at one point selling 10,000 toys in just a single day leading up to Christmas.
Since, the retailer has launched a series of adverts showing the plush teddy in boardroom situations, as well as Halloween and Christmas themed scenarios.
