Tesco has launched a bizarre new range of life-size celebrity cardboard cutouts – and shoppers can’t believe the ones are actually on sale.
The standees, which sell for £38.99 each, include life-size cutouts of three of Taylor Swift’s exes, high-profile politicians and even popular animated characters.
Cutouts of Matty Healy from The 1975, actor Jake Gyllenhaal and Marvel actor Tom Hiddleston have drawn the most attention online, likely due to their connection to the singer, with others pointing to an effigy of Shrek.
There are dozens of these stands available on Tesco’s website, and shoppers can pick up cutouts of the homes of King Henry VIII and Boris Johnson, as well as Winston Churchill and Hillary Clinton.
Others include Woody from Toy Story and several life-size standing animals.

Shoppers were quick to notice the strange addition on Tesco’s website and took to social media to share photos of the cutouts.
One person posted a roundup of the products and simply asked: ‘Tesco???’
Another found one stand in particular quite peculiar.
They said: ‘Guys, why is Tesco selling a life-size cardboard cutout of King Henry VIII? What the hell?

But most social media users found the new additions hilarious, with one person saying: “Imagine walking into Tescos and leaving with a cardboard cutout of Shrek.”
In response, the TikTokker said: “You should visit the big Tesco today and see if they are in stock.”
Another said: “I REALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS FAKE UNTIL I LOOKED FOR MYSELF.”
Tesco’s website notes that the cutouts, which range from 160cm to 190cm in height, are sold and supplied by another company, Partyrama.
