Sky customers can now watch hundreds of TV shows ad-free at no extra cost from popular streaming app

SKY is giving away ad-free access to a popular streaming app available through all its TV devices.

The broadcaster routinely gives away special perks and offers via its Sky VIP scheme for existing customers.

This includes things like free preview cinema tickets, chocolate treats and more.

But the latest addition is aimed at TV lovers, especially if you want to watch shows without ad interruptions.

STV Player is home to thousands of hours of TV shows, including boxsets and movies.

It's also the only place to watch classic episodes of beloved British soap Brookside.

One of the latest big arrivals on the service is four-part Scottish thriller miniseries The Victim starring Kelly Macdonald.

STV Player is available for free but with ads as standard.

To go ad-free it usually costs £3.99 per month but Sky customers can get it for nothing for a limited time.

Via Sky VIP, you can get ad-free for four months, saving you £16.

And it's available to new and returning STV Player users too.

The offer is available until the end of March.

And don't forget to cancel before the four months are up if you don't wish to continue with ad-free once the free period has finished otherwise you'll be charged.

To redeem the offer, you'll need to install the MySky app.

Tap on the VIP tab along the bottom, then look for Offers, Gifts & Discounts.

Scroll to the bottom and you'll find the STV Player giveaway there for the taking.
