He’s arguably the most famous pig of our time (sorry, Peppa), and now Percy Pig has been immortalised in a Marks & Spencer muffin.

Yes, fans of the jelly sweets can now enjoy a bright pink muffin topped with a Percy.

You’ll be able to find the cakes in the in-store bakery.

“Ooh you can always count on M&S to deliver the goods,” said one fan.

We’ve turned your favourite sweet into a fluffy Percy-flavoured muffin, topped with Percy-flavoured buttercream and filled with strawberry jam.

Another quipped: ” I need to go to M&S on the weekend!!”

“I’m so getting myself a Percy Pig muffin,” another said.

However, not all Percy fans were convinced.

One said: “Feedback on Percy muffin is negative from me I’m afraid – had one today and it tasted falsely flavoured and left a nasty aftertaste.”

It’s not the first time Percy has caused controversy.

Back in the spring, M&S changed the recipe to make all the sweets vegetarian, and some said the taste changed, too.
