his rejection from Tesco that caused a stir.The comedian applied for a customer assistant position at the supermarket's Alderley Road Express store in Wilmslow.But it wasn’t meant to be - Jason was unsuccessful and joked that he was 'livid' at the response but admitted he did genuinely apply after fans thought it may have been a joke.Tesco then sent him a reply to explain their decision.A spokesman said: "We've recruited around 50,000 temporary workers during the Coronavirus pandemic and they have played a huge part in helping us to serve customers safely during these unprecedented times.That’s when Iceland barged into the conversation offering him an opportunity of work.They wrote: "Our door is always open for you @JasonManford."Help us.
