Viewers slam Mariah Carey for ‘hating chips’ in Christmas advert – despite $16 million pay cheque

Mariah Carey has been ridiculed for looking like she “hates” chips in a new UK Christmas commercial.

Mariah Carey has been ridiculed for looking like she “hates” chips in a new UK Christmas commercial – despite being paid $16 million to front the campaign.

In the ad for Walkers Crisps, the 49-year-old songstress fights over a pack of “pigs in blanket” flavoured chips after singing her festive hit All I Want For Christmas.

After claiming victory and snatching the bag for herself, Carey then takes a tiny bite of a chip.

No thanks.

Mariah clearly loves chips.

But fans of Walkers haven’t taken lightly to her minuscule morsel and claimed the star looked like she could “hardly bear to put it near her mouth”.

Twitter users went as far as pleading with the singer to “take a proper bite” as they slammed her appearance.

Mariah Carey advertising walkers , the way she eats the crisp, the pack will be out of date by the time she gets to the bottom

Think my fav #Christmas ad is the #mariahcarey #walkers #ad just for the way Mariah is trying everything possible not to eat or digest any of the crisp she contractually has to put to near her mouth 😂

Why the hell they’ve used Mariah Carey on the Walkers advert I’ll never know, she literally just takes the smallest of bites out of the crisp 🙄 I shovel crisps in like 6 at a time 😂 #MariahCarey #walkers

If I went on a first and he ate crisps like Mariah does in the Walkers advert; I’d grab my coat and leave immediately!!! #mariahWalkers

Still can’t get over Mariah Carey eating like the tiniest crumb off the end of a crisp in the Walkers advert - she deserves an Oscar for that performance tbh - iconic

As well as starring in the Christmas ad, Carey’s face will be splashed across 50 million bags of chips as part of the multimillion-dollar sign-up.

As reported by The Sun, Carey takes over from the Spice Girls as the leading lady of Walkers.

Carey, who is worth an estimated $457 million, has previously appeared in adverts for Macy’s — alongside Donald Trump — and for weight-loss firm Jenny Craig.
