While Gregg went to the factory that makes Doritos, Cherry also explored how crisp packaging is transforming to be better for the environment.

Cherry explained how hard it is for crisp packets to be recycled due to the thin layers of plastic, before visiting a factory that was helping a different brand produce the first plastic-free crisp packet in the UK.

The process saw the factory workers turning sustainable wood pulp from South America into a film that looks like plastic but is biodegradable.

The segment featured lots of shots of the different elements of the process, but the presenters didn't name the crisp brand using the game-changing packaging directly.

It left viewers desperate to know where to find them, with one writing on Twitter: "Which brand is that using the compostable bags ? And why doesn’t everyone?";

Another added: "Handy to not show the brand of crisps using the paper bags."
