McVitie’s have continued their Golden Moments campaign to celebrate their sponsorship of series 15 of Britain’s Got Talent, by collaborating with food artist Nathan Wyburn to create a special portrait of BGT judge Alesha Dixon entirely out of McVitie’s biscuits.

Welsh food artist Nathan Wyburn, a previous semi-finalist on Britain’s Got Talent used 644 Hobnobs, Chocolate Digestive, and Rich Tea biscuits to create the delicious masterpiece, which took him over 3 days to create. Of his portrait, Nathan said: “The best part of making art like this is getting to work with your favourite snacks and treats… and who doesn’t love a biscuit!? I loved being on the show all those years ago, so I jumped at the chance to work on creating this bespoke artwork of the beautiful Alesha Dixon – she can now enjoy being celebrated in delicious McVitie’s biscuits!”

David Titman, Marketing Director of pladis said: ‘‘It was such a pleasure to collaborate with Nathan on this portrait seeing our products create the likeness of one of the most famous faces in British television exciting. We have been huge fans of Nathan’s work since his incredible appearance in series five of the show, and it is great to see him add McVitie’s to his CV.’’
