White van men show green credentials as they choose David Attenborough as top celeb

Eco blimey – White Van Man’s seen the green light.

He’s gone all sustainable and he’d rather have a healthy packed lunch with David Attenborough than a bacon butty with Tyson Fury.

Even Holly Willoughby couldn’t nudge the 93-year-old conservationist out of the passenger seat.

Drivers said they would prefer to have lunch with the wildlife legend so they could learn more about the planet and how to save it.

Nearly half said they also make their own food rather than buy takeaways packed in single use plastics.

And 38 per cent have reuseable cups on board.

Almost half loved his documentaries such as Blue Planet.

Vauxhall Motors, which quizzed 1,100, said it hoped the findings would change “outdated perceptions”.
