The ad is designed to show everyday moments where the voice assistant could intervene and, clearly having a disconcerting hair dye moment, Jackson is featured staring into a mirror at her new look and says: "Awh, flip! I need happy music, now!"

Graham Bednash, senior director, Google UK consumer marketing, said: ‘This campaign is designed to show people the helpful things the Google Assistant can do - and do it with charm and wit."
