Tesco has launched a bizarre new range of life-sized celebrity cardboard cut outs, and shoppers can’t quite believe the standees are really for sale.
The standees, which sell for £38.99 a piece, include life-sized cut outs of three of Taylor Swift’s exes, high-profile politicians and even popular animated characters.
Cuts outs of The 1975’s Matty Healy, actor Jake Gyllenhaal and Marvel actor Tom Hiddleston have drawn the most attention online, likely due to their connection with the songstress, with others pointing to an effigy of Shrek.
There are dozens of these standees available on the Tesco website, with customers able to take cut outs of King Henry VIII and Boris Johnson home, as well as Winston Churchill and Hillary Clinton.
Others include Woody from Toy Story and various life-sized animal standees.

Shoppers were quick to notice the strange addition on the Tesco website, and took to social media to share photographs of the cut outs.
One person posted a compilation of the products and just asked: ‘Tesco???’
Another found one particular standee rather peculiar.
They said: ‘Guys why is Tesco selling a life-sized cardboard cut out of King Henry VIII? What the creep?’
