Watch the fake John Lewis everyone is talking about
Many believed it was the real deal
A-Level media student Nick Jablonka has found himself unexpectedly thrust into the limelight after his college project was mistaken for the eagerly anticipated John Lewis Christmas advert.
The one-minute animation tells the story of a lonely snowman trapped in a snow globe who longs to break free and find love. The video on YouTube has had nearly half a million views so far and received supportive comments including people calling on John Lewis to sign him up.
The student told Good Morning Britain, "I'm a fan of John Lewis adverts. When we think Christmas, we think John Lewis, so it gave me a lot of freedom as to what I could do."

The real John Lewis advert is expected this week but while we wait, here's the one from last year!
