I found the story slightly amusing as to why he would do it.

These stories always make me laugh because of how the celebrity has to appear contrite and ready to get help with their 'problem': "I don't know what's happened to me, I hope I can get the help I clearly need".

You saw that pine nuts were £4.49 and though "fuck, that's a lot for pine nuts... but I do love home-made pesto". And then you put them in your pocket AWT. Like we've all done at one time or another.

I'd give serious kudos to a celebrity whose statement was "I thought I'd make whipping up an organic hummus involve a touch less of payment via my nasal passages".

Yeah I had a good old laugh at this too.

I love the phrase "misusing a self service checkout". It makes it sound so...depraved.

Who the hell hasn't been tempted to nick stuff from Tesco? Given the prices they charge, I reckon I could ethically and morally justifying nicking about half my weekly shop.

Misusing a self service check out makes it sound so much more sordid (and thus entertaining) than it actually was.

On the taglines competition front:

Tesco value - not even worth paying for.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Ainsley Harriot - 'So Debbie show us what you've got in your bag'

Debbie - 'Well i've got 5lbs of chateaubriand, caviar, truffles, champagne with gold flakes, pine nuts and Tesco value spaghetti hoops.'

Ainsley - 'Oh a real luxury bag then. And how much did that cost you ?'

Debbie - 'Nothing. I got Anthony to get it and spent the tenner on scratchcards.'
