These spots will be followed by a series of 30" and 10" ads, which will run until the end of June and feature a rolling calendar of weekly product promotions from across the Littlewoods website.

Gary Kibble, retail director for Littlewoods, said: "The Littlewoods touch has been a hugely successful concept for us. It captures what makes shopping with Littlewoods different and has been instrumental in helping us to attract tens of thousands of new customers over the last six months. Combining that concept with the launch of Myleene's first swimwear collection felt like the right moment to launch our first spring/summer campaign in four years.
"With over a third of visits to our site now via a smartphone or tablet, optimising all of our content for mobile is a hygiene factor when it comes to our marketing strategy. But we're always looking to offer our customers something new and different and Shazam offers a unique way for them to interact with our brand. We look forward to seeing how it resonates with our customers."
