Phillip Schofield's 'replacement' as new We Buy Any Car advert is filmed

The new face of We Buy Any Car appears to have been revealed, after Phillip Schofield's £1m deal came to an end recently.

The This Morning host appeared in the used car sales company's adverts for five years until last month. We Buy Any Car said the decision was nothing to do with the "queuegate" row that saw Phillip and co-star Holly Willoughby under fire over accusations they "jumped the queue" to see Her Majesty lying in state last month.

At the time a spokesman said: “Webuyanycar and Phillip Schofield agreed earlier this year that the webuyanycar/Phillip Schofield campaign would come to an end in 2022, having worked together for over five years. The decision was made prior to any recent stories regarding Phillip."

Now, TikTok star Mufasa has been seen shooting scenes outside a We Buy Any Car branch, dressed in the same patterned shirt and red shorts he wore in the video that projected him to fame. The clip saw Mufasa jump out of his moving car to dance alongside it.

It was shared far and wide back in 2020, with huge names such as Kanye West and Katy Perry performing their own versions. Mufasa, whose real name is Jeff Obeng, has also had lucrative deals with ASOS and FootLocker.
